cherry beach sundays

the cherry beach sunday parties are about wrapping up for the year. thanks, guys, for putting on another great summer. these shots are from the july 13th event.

light painting experiments

sometimes i get bored with my own stuff (not that there's even a lot of it yet) and i need to shake things up. so last weekend i was alone in the studio with, okay, plenty of work to do but sometimes you just need a break. so i grabbed a camera, turned out the lights and went looking for LEDs to shake it at. here's some of what i got.

these shots, i love.

..the ones that seem to come out of nowhere, pop themselves into your camera and basically make the whole set. i was in ottawa, shooting long exposure traffic stills for a video. when i got back to the studio, i looked through the photos and found this one (#3).

interests: photography

so now i have a blog. cool. i just started shooting for a stock company, mostly using a canon 20d with an EF-S 17-85mm lens. i have a camera, a contract and a lot of ideas. i'll keep you up on how the photography thing's going, maybe include a photo or three.

and i won't be boring you with a lot of technical photographyism. there are tons of places you can go for that and honestly, i'm just figuring it out as i go. but when i stumble onto ideas for cool photographs, i'll stick them up with some examples and tell you basically what i did. or maybe just show you photos.
