Trashing Cameras, Dresses the Works
Okay it's time to post our Trash the Dress session this past week with the talented Trevor Brucki. One of his couples wanted to get some amazing photos out at the cabin on Lake Winnipeg, so Trevor invite me along, and the list just got bigger and bigger.
So the group that hit the road were:
Steve Hiebert (Personal Expressions Photography)Jeremy Dueck (Jeremy Dueck Photography Inc.)
Patty Boge (Off The Page Photography)
Trevor Brucki (Trevor Brucki Photography)Trashing the dress doesn't mean you need to cut it up or tear it to shreds. It's more about getting the kind of photo that you couldn't do on the day of your wedding, without any of the time pressures or nerves you might have on your day. Just think about having a relaxed "Day After Session" were you can ride a bike, horse, high jump (my groom), play tackle football, any hobby you're into could become a great photo and a wild afternoon of fun.For those in the know, most of my shots where done with the 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 - just for the techno geeks out there. And yes I did shoot some 120 film, but none of it is posted yet.Okay on to some awesome TTD goodness! Photos please!
This is my Jessica Claire cop
The man, Mr. Background..... Blair
Again, I didn't want Blair to feel left out - although I like this shot of him.
I want to give a special thanks to the hospitality of Kristy and Blair and their whole family. It was a pleasure getting to know you all and the wine, candle light meal and 1930's cabin on the lake will be a great memory to the end of a great day! Thank you all so much! It was fantastic.
If any of you are interested in a DAY AFTER SESSION or TTD, give me a call and we'll talk!Cheers!
Kimberly + Robert
I was spared the torrential rains last weekend, my wedding was on Friday, and it looks like Trev owes me a great number of martinis! I mentioned my bride was going to have a horse in her photos at Assiniboine Park, but not just the park - the Leo Mol gardens. Trev said "no way they are going to do that!"
The first time, and probably the last:
Time to pay up Trev, here's the proof:
Tell you the truth, we did some other cool things. How about a 450 hp Mustang?
Okay so we had to leave it behind, after all it is from the 60's.
Cool ring shot:
Kimberly and Robert were great fun. I mean, come on! Horse riding in the Park? The cars, convertibles. All so sweet! But one of the best things was how happy Robert was. Nothing was going to get him down, and you could just see how much he loved marrying his sweetheart girl. (even if the Mustang came with her). You guys were a blast, I totally enjoyed the fun you brought to your day!
And now a show of slides, just press play:
County Fair
A few weekends ago the local county fair came to town, happened to be the same weekend that I got my new Canon 5D camera. (starting to love that camera) I usually like to drop by if I think the weather will give some interesting light. The last couple of years have been pretty sweet! However, this last time was the jackpot! Talk about getting some great light... it was fantastic! I couldn't have hoped for better.
So I headed out to the local midway and took some of these "rockin'" shots. I was playing around with some of the settings and color modes. These are all out of the camera, no tweaking for the most part. (only 2 out of all of them have been tweaked)
You have got to love a ride that pays homage to hurricanes - check out the 'car' names below, haha.
These are all in-camera B&W, pretty nice job I thought. It's great that you can set the "filter" you want for your BW, like the old days with film - yellow, orange, red, green - they all give a different look. Most of these were done with the red filter, hence the dark skies.
Ed the carny barker - he use to shoot weddings
As you can see below, some of the settings are over the top saturated, the colors can get wild! Truth be told it really looked that wonderful. Just the perfect time of day.
Saw these guys and needed to shoot a couple of portraits. If you come across this blog, call me - we'll do some more. Devo?
Thing just kept getting better. A rainbow appeared, it turned out to be a full horizon to horizon 180 degree arch.
The sky just got darker
And then the rainbow twined, pretty dang sweet!
Could the light get any better? what do you think?
This is my favorite time of day to photograph
1000 - 1250 ISO
Not set up, just a kid walking past, and a fast trigger finger.
One of my favorite lemonades, yumm!
As mentioned, all the photos but 2 are straight out of the camera. All hand held, no tripod. Just seeing what can be done at 1250 ISO in the dusk.I'm pretty impressed with the 5D.
