This February I had the pleasure doing an e-shoot for a 2011 wedding;  Nicole and Andy of Peterborough.

Nicole first met me @ the Oct 2009 Welcome Wagon Bridal Show in Peterborough.  She was at the show with her mother and to my pleasure and surprise immediately after the show both her and her mother (separately) called me to schedule a meeting.  Awesome!  We had lots of time to do their engagement shoot however I think they were anxious to spend some time together in the area that Andy proposed and to have their engagement pictures.  Plus they liked the idea of a winter shoot.  I was all for it and we had a great couple of hours at Lock 23.

Below are a few of my favorite images from our time together.

Andy wanted to get an image of him re-enacting his proposal to Nicole.  She’s landed herself a pretty nice guy.

This is part II of the recently complete Intro/Intermediate Digital Photography Workshop.  The Intro/Intermediate Digital Photography Workshop covered the basic theory needed to have a good foundation to experiment with more advanced photography.  In this workshop we will explore more advanced subjects that were briefly covered in the previous workshop.

This workshop will be primarily a hands-on workshop.  Bring your camera, your strobes (flash units) and your manuals.

Course Outline:

Day 1 – Quick review of shutter, aperture and ISO.  Review of metering options and the histogram.  Then shooting practice in both semi-auto mode using exposure compensation (+/-) and exposure lock (AE-L/AF-L).  Also shooting in Manual mode.

Day 2  – Review and hands on experimenting with custom white balance and wireless flash (if you don’t have a flash/strobe, don’t worry!  we will be working together as a group)

Day 3 – Computer software.  I will spend time illustrating image processing and answering questions.  We will review RAW processing, colour correction, cropping and straightening images, adjusting exposure, dodge and burn, histogram, JPEG compression, sharpening, selecting a colour space, etc.

Day 4 – An outdoor session at a waterfall/rapids area for tripod, long exposure photography.  If you have a tripod, bring it.  Shooting in Manual Mode.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me or call (705) 768-1072
