Flowers, Lions and Goats

 From our trip to Victoria. The Sea lions are locals at Fisherman's wharf. The Mountain goats are road blocks in the Rockie Mountains. All pics unedited

Playing with the Sun

 I forgot to use my lens hood so there is lots of flare. I think I am partial to the look. What do you think?

Ukrainian Village

 This past summer we went to the Ukrainian Village here in Alberta.
 There was lots of photo opportunities but I found the blacksmith was the most interesting subject. And it helped that he is an uncle! These pictures are unedited. Taken with Nikon D90 Shutter priority.

Drumheller Dinosaur Provincal Park

Another interesting photography experience. This was in the museum at Drumheller. It was very dark and extremely crowded. There was also a large sign that said no tripods allowed. Time to get creative! This was back in July, I have since discovered the monopod that I probably could have taken in.

Joe McNally

I met Life Magazine and National Geographic photographer, Joe McNally!! Amazing use of light. Amazing stories. Amazing teacher. I can't wait to add a couple more lights to my equipment! More pictures and video to come!!

Fastidious

I think I am becoming too fussy. I just spent about 1/2 hour trying to fix this picture. Tell me if you even like or notice the difference.

Another Edit

n

I found this picture and decided to do a minor edit..remove this deepen colours there. It was one of the few I have of my friend's daughter were it was just her. I added the original for comparison. Is it too dark?

studio

I got to play in my girlfriend's studio again. I was a little stressed as I didn't have much time before I had to run to work and, of course, this was my first official session; I am sure I did everything wrong. I find when I am stressed I don't think clearly and my creative juices get blocked. Also I discovered I get camera shy! This, I think, will be something I will have to work through.

please comment on your favourite picture or what i should change ( lighting, pose, editing etc..)

The Elderly

I find it difficult to photograph elderly people. I love all their wrinkles and would love to highlight them, but I know I must be diplomatic about how I approach it.

Playing with a Studio Light

Nightlight

Just a lucky shot

Best Friends

I gave this post the same title as my good friend and fellow photographer's post. The girls in the photos are best friends and have been for a while. The young man is a brother who allowed me to do a test shot of him by the window.

We spent the afternoon together and she taught me a few things about lighting. It was a great day!

Little Girls

A couple of pictures of my nieces not long after I got my camera.
