Long Time Coming

Well its been a long time since I last posted anything on shooting from the hip.The daily routine of life has totally interfered with both blogging and photography.In the time since I last posted I have moved to north western New Brunswick.A big Move?Yes,but one that was well needed.
On the photography front I haven't had time to shoot much.But this weeks pics are some thing I see many mornings here in Grand Falls.The fog lays low in the valley and during the morning sunrise there are beautiful colors in the sky.There is a church just down the road from us and the steeple juts out of the fog.
This is one of the few photos that I have taken that I have previz the photo before I took it.Although the colors are a little different than what I had envisioned but overall its the photo I has seen.

Flight Time

It has been a while since I last updated the blog.I have been extremely busy in trying to find work and have spent most of free time doing that.I have however gotten a second paid photography job.I recently got photography some graduates from the local community collage at their graduation ceremony.
I am currently in Winnipeg and during the long flight down from the north I got the opportunity watch the sunset above the clouds.For years I have photographed the sunset from the bottom of the clouds but this was extremely different.The tops of the clouds also turned the most wonderful colors and all the hills and vallie's created by the clouds.

A rose by any othher name....

Its been a long while since I last posted to this blog.Many things have transpire to keep the photographer in me silent.I have taken some photos and done some experimentation but in general I have done very little in photography.
Today I took a different sort of photo for me.I generally don't do still life's very well.In this case how ever I manage to get a photo right out of the can .I haven't even tried to post process the image.
here it is.

Cloudy Weather

Well today I got up and wanted to go for a ride for some photography but of course it is overcast and the lighting is very flat.So it looks like an indoor shoot today.But what to shoot.My kids are starting to get fed up with being daddies models and my wife doesn't like her images,so I guess I will have to turn to my self.I will try and get some hints and tricks from YouTube and will try and post the results.

Late Night Photography

The other night I got the chance to do some party photography.Some of it good some of it not so good.The challenges of shooting at parties of course is lighting.I don't have a very powerful flash but we try and make do with what we have.Here are some results.

Inspiration

Inspiration is the hardest part of art.Some times it flow lie a river.raging with in the sole and other times it like a babbling brook in mid summer.The last month has been so busy that I haven't had time to dig out the camera.I had managed to blog almost every day and now I have hit blogger block.
Today is Easter.For most of world spring has arrived but here in the North it represent the second half of winter.We have more snow here today as we have had all winter.There is no chance for outdoor photography.So Its still life's or portraiture work till it warms up above the freezing mark.

Pratice Makkes Perfect

Well my favorite model must be my daughter.I have taken lots of photographs of here over the years and have talked about in this blog many times.I love her smile.It is infectious.When Jasmine smiles you cant help but feel better about the day.
I am struggling with two things with lighting.One the space that I have to work in and the ability to blow out the background with out back lighting.Here is my latest try at digital backgrounds.
