Inspired by my pals Duane and Kris‘ recent photographic efforts online, I decided to rebuild my photography section on this site which previously was just a plugin that pulled in my Flickr stream. I’ve decided to make it a daily photo kind of site. Using a new theme (Duotone) which changes the screen colours based…
Last summer, during the photoshoot at the morgue, I came up with the idea of doing another shoot with Charles & Barbara on the beach. They had mentioned while we were shooting that they spun fire and I thought that would be a pretty cool project for us to work on. So after a few…
Inspired by something Peter told me about that Moose Peterson mentions in his videos, I wanted to find a way to mount another camera on top of my Nikon D90 with the goal being to capture the process of shooting photos sort of through my eyes. Moose calls it his MooseCam but I couldn’t actually…
This is some pretty slick software, called Shape Collage, available for Mac/PC/Linux and it’s FREE! I pointed the application to a few hundred iPhone photos (most of them from SXSW) on my computer (it can also traverse web url’s for photos or even my local Aperture library), then hand drew a cactus shape and it…
This past weekend I attended one day of the ImageQuest Professional Photographers Convention in Richmond. I kept waiting for someone to ask me to leave since I don’t consider myself a professional photographer. The only reason I wanted to attend was in order to see Joe McNally’s session. I’ve seen a number of videos he’s…
What an epic weekend! So much going on surrounding the best little conference ever, Northern Voice. As usual, I’ll try to detail my experiences with photos and video I shot: Things kicked off Thursday at Federico’s Supper Club with the somewhat controversial (due to political sponsorship) opening dinner which was a lot of fun. It…
This past weekend, I participated in my first group photoshoot with members of the Vancouver Strobist group (on Flickr). After missing out on a studio shoot in January, I was invited to this one at The Dollhouse Studios. The models were members of the Sweet Soul Burlesque troupe and were fantastic to work with despite…
A new iPhone app [iTunes link] just popped up on my radar that is pretty cool. It lets you pretend your iPhone camera has a tilt/shift lens. Kinda. While heading to grab a coffee this morning, I took this shot: then loaded it into the Tilt/Shift app: which resulted in this image: Not quite a…
I can’t wait for the LensBaby Composer to be released…check out this unfortunately low quality YouTube video of the co-founder of LensBaby demostrating the Composer attached to a Nikon D90 in video mode: One of the first things I thought about when I heard about the D90’s video capabilities was the ability to do tilt…
I’ve wanted a fisheye lens forever…and really like my Lomo Fisheye camera. Super wide angles and fisheyes are fun to play around with…just not $800 kinds of fun (the cost of a real fisheye lens). So when I stumbled across this lens adapter for a measely $37 + shipping (from this eBay store – just…
