Got to shoot photos for the Fiddler show at TWU, the play was amazing! It's the first musical for TWU in a long time, and it was great. The cast is very strong and the musicians did a great job with the music. Shooting went really well too, I used the "Sandy Puc" Manfrotto tripod, and while it was insanely heavy, it was also ridiculously fast to set up each shot, and we were doing a new shot every 3 minutes for 3 hours!
My daughter Bella is an amazing subject, she's patient-waiting for me to set up the shots, and she's helpful! Got some great shots up the hill at Highpointe.
Spent the day shooting production stills for Fiddler on the Roof, was a challenging shoot with such a large cast, but it was fun! Used the Pocketwizard Flex TT5 flash triggers with a Canon flash and a strobe. The play looks like it will be amazing, but it's almost sold out already!
Thanks to Ingrid from the Langley Camera Club meeting tonight, I'm going to start Project 365 for myself. That means I have to take at least one photo a day for the next year! It just happens that today is Tyson's birthday (cousin) so I'll be able to remember the day! Of course I had to get my little dude for the first shot, so here it is!
Here's a bunch of my shots I've made into wallpapers, feel free to download! Some were processed with the awesome iPad app Snapseed
Walking in to my daughter's recital with the Dance Barn, I was nabbed by a lady that said "I look like I know what I'm doing" in regards to my camera and tripod. I ended up being the photographer for the night at the Chandos Pattison Auditorium. It was very exciting!
The most exciting part was... well that my daughter was dancing, and she was incredible! But, the OTHER exciting thing was that I had bought the Canon 24-70 F2.8 L lens about 2 hours before the show!!! I had not even taken one picture with this exact copy, so it was very exciting. Snapped off over 1000 photos, just because I only had 1 SD card with me, otherwise there would have been many more. The shots turned out extremely well!
More to come, but here's one of Bella giving it everything she's got. She is most definitely a dancer, and some random stranger made a point of telling her how incredible she was!
Some shots from a recent shoot with my old pal Chad.
