A lovely Wedding

I had the pleasure of spending the day with Chris & Jody on July 11th. It was a perfect day for a perfect wedding. I brought with me a red umbrella as a lark to see if we could use it somewhere and it turns out that the wedding colors went very well with it.

The guys were loads of fun, I personally love this shot of them in the theater. The dancing photo turned out beautiful, this was a 15 second exposure, Chris and Jody had to hold the kiss for the whole 15 seconds - pretty sure that was not too difficult to do!

Family Photos at Train Whistle Park

I like this park, it has a caboose, railway track and big trees. Very cool. We spent an evening shooting this lovely family, you could definitely tell the boys were 2 and 3, the energy was...Wow! I wish I had half their energy.

Cute kids! Once they slowed down, I got some really nice shots

Once was lost now is repaired

Some dear friends of mine had their wedding photo damaged, I photographed it, scanned it and pieced it back together. Here is the result, I am pleased. It took me a while to do it and I took a few liberties, it is kind of like find waldo, can you see what I changed?

Truck Driver Turned Singer

Off to a sod field north of Stead, the photo shoot is a success, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the truck is stuck and we have no cell phone. Tempted to drive the fork lift the 10 k back to the yard we opted in waving down a pickup, they had a cell and we had service, back in business.

This singing truck driver is fulfilling a life long dream of creating a cd of his own. With a sweet sound of blue grass, the old time gospels are sung out with a happy heart, I can't wait for my copy. The photo shoot is for the cd cover, I am thinking this is gonna look good!

Happy Birthday Canada!

Happy Canada Day!

My family and I went to the Selkirk Canada Day Celebrations, the fireworks were excellent! I took my tripod with me so I could catch the fireworks in action.

The trick here is to have a long shutter speed set on your camera or use the bulb setting to keep the shutter open for a long time. Most of the shots I took were about 7 or more seconds long. Use the tripod to steady the camera because no one could hold a camera that long with out camera shake. If you don't have a tripod set your camera on something hard.

After the fireworks were over, we packed up to leave and I was picking up stray trash as I was walking away and I found $25.00! It pays to clean up after ourselves.
