Window Light

Another assignment for my Portrait Lighting class was to use window light...so I got the best looking model I could find and put him in front of a window. I give you...Forrest and the Window.



Sometimes it helps to add a reflector to bounce some light back onto the other side of your subject.

My Sister

I took a class called 'Lighting Techniques for Portraits'. I needed a subject to shoot my assignments so I asked one my sisters to pose for me.





Of course, while I was at my sister's house, I did a portrait of her extremely photogenic family.

The Magestic Rocky Mountains

In August of last year, we went down to Banff National Park for the weekend. A nice short camping trip with some friends. With my wife being 7-8 months pregnant, I couldn't resist incorporating her into a landscape shot. Here she is in front of the familiar (but still spectacular) Lake Louise.

If you want to see calm water (and avoid the tourists) at these mountain lakes, you have to get up early in the morning. So one morning I drove to Morain Lake before breakfast.Competition for prime flower real estate.

You don't always need to shoot at wide angles for landscape photography. The following shots were taken with my 70-200mm lens.

Happy Holidays

Happy holidays from me & mine to you and yours. All the best for 2009!
