Snap then Nap: A Photo Journey

Fiona

2011-06-21T02:19:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share a couple pictures of little Fiona. It was her big 3rd birthday on Monday. Hard to shoot with so much going on, but she's just so cute, I had to show these off.

Tower Shot

2010-12-28T00:19:00.000-08:00

Man I wish they turned off the lights in the damn place...limited as to what I could shoot due to glare everywhere...massive glare.

City Panorama

2010-12-23T01:21:00.000-08:00

Stopped off at the ridge tonight and thought I would take a few shots.

Night Lights

2010-12-21T13:35:00.000-08:00

Went out for a bit last night (thanks to Steve!)...I like this with the exception of the burnout from the condos to the right.

New HDR Attempts

2010-12-12T19:05:00.000-08:00

Still fairly new at this and still studying up, but thought I would post these from this weekend.

Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

2010-12-11T13:29:00.000-08:00

I haven't been feeling too well lately, but finally got out this morning to take a few pictures. It was cold as hell, but think I was able to put some of what I have been reading into these pictures.

HDR Attempt

2010-12-02T23:07:00.000-08:00

Ya, I'm not sure what the hell I think about this....oh well, tried.

More here...as is, no cropping, no photoshop, noooooo nothing..

Knick knackery

2010-12-02T06:49:00.000-08:00

Every year my Aunt sends me either a set of these figurines, or one bigger one, or some variation. I'm not really one for all this knick knackery, but now I found a use for my army of angels....keep firing light at them until you find the balance....not quite what I wanted, but tweaking....

I hook some pictures of some old World War II aircrafts last night...hope to get through those soon...

More Macro

2010-11-30T20:40:00.001-08:00

Last attempt was not sharp enough...good feedback, and what I need, so went back, did some research, made some adjustments and tried again....still not there, but getting closer.

My Little Helper

2010-11-27T22:21:00.000-08:00

Who would have thought my shadow would be 8 pounds?

Glamour Molly....she really knows how to work her good side.

Playing Around

2010-11-27T00:44:00.000-08:00

Well I don't have any lighting equipment, or studio equipment at all, so all about improvising....I borrowed a lens from a buddy, and just started experimenting today.

Chilly Chilly Walk

2010-11-21T20:02:00.000-08:00

Well, just home from the football game, and still frozen, but wanted to get these up before defrosting. (yaaaa Riders!!)

I would appreciate any critiques, positive or negative...what jumps out, what doesn't...tips...what would make them better....all help is greatly appreciated.

Firsts

2010-11-16T21:37:00.000-08:00

It's a little bit intimidating showing people my pictures. I never have...and for a few reasons.

1) I suck, but I am working on it now that I have time
2) I'm not really a creative/artsy person
3)...scared shitless?

Because I just needed to laugh today

2010-11-16T18:31:00.000-08:00

I took this one awhile ago at a soccer game I was playing in...my buddy Scutch is always good for a laugh, and most of my photos of him contain this expression.

This Week....

2010-11-15T21:01:00.000-08:00

Alot of photos planned, but after seeing my "peers," I have dived into books big time in the efforts to improve. So, if you are looking for any of the photography material at the Calgary Public Library, it is all currently sitting in my living room.

So...read, shoot, analyze....learn learn learn....

Joe McNally Workshop

2010-11-13T16:52:00.001-08:00

Thanks to a friend of mine, I attended the first day of a two day workshop today with Joe McNally.

Learnt so much, and looking forward to putting it into practice....alot of photo toys out there.

Memorial Park

2010-11-12T23:43:00.000-08:00

I took these after the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph.

La Blog

2010-11-12T23:22:00.000-08:00

I am starting this blog in the hopes that some of my online and offline photo friends would be willing to critique my work. I am still learning as much as I can, so any tips would be great.
