Running out of room

Well with my latest equipment acquisition, I really have to find a studio(not my living room) with more room soon.

The living room of my apartment is great for head shots but that’s about it.
I think a big move is in order and I think I know just where to hang my hat.
It shouldn’t take anybody to long too figure out what I’m planning.

I hope this all works out, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

851 Squadron 35th Annual Review

Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Prince Edward

851 Squadron 35th Annual Review

I would like to thank 851 squadron and their supporters for allowing me to photograph the 35th Annual Review.

As a token of my thanks, I would like to offer all the cadets as well as their supporters a dvd copy of all the images.
The dvd will contain web ready files for facebook,email and full resolution files for printing.
*Update* “by token of my thanks” I meant the DVD would be provided free of charge. Sorry for any misunderstanding, I am not trying to use this as a method of making money it is meant to be a gift to the cadets and families. *update*

Of course, if you are a supporter requesting image dvd, you will have to have family ties to one of the cadets.
All requests will be subject to approval of Air Cadet Administration Picton Ontario.
These files will be hand delivered by me, nothing will be sent by email or postal service.

Just leave me a comment and I’ll get back to you.

Picton Ontario Farmland

Picton Ontario Farmland
I was driving around Picton waiting for the Air Cadets award ceremony to start. I was doing some photography of my nephew Jonathan Bartlett and the rest of the event as well. I will be posting images of that as soon as I get them processed.

Anyhow back to driving around Picton, something I’ve been doing a lot of lately. Absolutely the most beautiful farmland I’ve ever seen rolling hills and old growth trees. I really don’t think you can take a bad picture of this place. So here’s a couple basically the same shot I took the first shot and then moved down the road for the second can’t decide which I like more so I’m posting both.

Kingston Downtown Waterfront

Kingston Downtown Waterfront

Here’s a few images I shot at about 1:00 in the afternoon.

This time of day is not the best for photography with very hard contrasty light but it’s usually the time of day when most of us tourists are snapping photos. I have a couple of techniques to help mitigate hard light issue.

First, shoot in raw this will increase your dynamic range and give you the ability to pull some detail out of the shadows or highlights depending on how you meter your shots.

Second, I think the main thing to remember is that it’s high noon and the shot should look contrasty. So don’t sweat it get as much detail as you can but adjust your tone curve so the shot looks appropriate for the time of day.

Lastly you can try HDR but in my opinion you really have to tone it down and not make look to HDRish if you know what I mean.

The first image is a HDR conversion the rest are regular exposures with my normal processing.

Sara - Nice photos! Do you mind sharing what you are shooting with?

kev - Hi Sara, thanks!
These shots were taken with a canon 5d mk2 and a 16-35mm 2.8 lenses.
I’ll be going back and forth from Montreal to Picton area all summer so there will
be a lot more images in the coming weeks and months.

Thanks again and please feel free to pick my brain with questions on equipment or processing.
I really enjoy helping photographers get the most out their photography.

Tony - Hi, how long was the ferry ride from Kingston to picton?

Thanks
Tony

kev - Hi Tony, The actual crossing is only about 10 minutes.

Ile des Moulins – Terrebonne,Quebec

Ile des Moulins – Terrebonne,Quebec

Here’s a couple of shots I did last week. The first one I was using a 3 stop neutral density filter at 12:00 noon.
The second was shot just before dawn, I think it was a 8 to 10 second exposure.

I’ll will add some more images of the area it is quite beautiful and has some very nice restaurants and bistros in the old section of town similar to Old Montreal.
