Spruce Meadows and This Summer.

Alright

Time once again to dust off the old bloggy blog.

So I'm now back in Calgary, to spend the summer working maintenance at the golf course again, but I plan on doing photo shoots as much as I can get out. It's nice to be in a town with more to do and not 90 other photoj students going to the same event.

I have a few goals this summer, one is to get published somewhere (most likely Calgary Herald), and others are to shoot weddings and higher end sporting events. I also will be updating this on a weekly basis. I was going to make a set day for updating. But I think I'll just be doing it as frequent as I get out shooting. I'm excited to show and shoot more pictures.

I shot the 2010 May Classic at Spruce meadows a couple weeks ago and finally got around to editing some pics.

Here they are. Any critiques are much appreciated.

Thanks Everyone

first and ten, do it again...

So I went to waterloo this past weekend and picked up a photo request for the Laurier University Paper. It was a national cheer-leading competition. Needless to say it was very loud, and gave me a headache. Anyways, I got this shot from it of York University Cheerleaders. I wanted to post a couple of people falling, but thats just mean, maybe another time when I'm in a bad mood I'll post them haha.

Homecoming Weekend.

So just a quick blog update.

I went to Waterloo last Saturday for homecoming. Originally I didn't want to shoot the game, because in all my time at Laurier, I had not gotten plastered and gone to the homecoming game. I was always shooting it. But as it got closer to the date, I had an assignment on depth of field due this week, and I would miss taking photos to much, so I decided to compromise and shoot just the first half.

Mother nature didn't agree with my compromise. As soon as the half time buzzer rang, it started to down pour. So I ran back to the stands where my friends were sitting and hurriedly packed my gear up and we made our way to the kegger.

I got some good shots from the first half. I got this shot of receiver Shamawd Chambers running the ball into the end zone. I had some other good ones, like the ones I have done for the Cord in the past (catches, tackles, qb throwing etc). But I liked this one because you could see the eyes of Shamawd and how intensely focused he is. And its something different than the Ryan Stewart football style I usually do haha. Anyways hope ya enjoy.

Also a big thank you to the Cord Photo Managers, Yusuf and Nick, for getting me into the game on such short notice, thanks boys!

I shot this with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
