Caleb

It is a definite challenge to find any male models in the Greater Moncton area. However, I was very fortunate to find Caleb.

He was quite easy to work with and I was quite happy with the resulting photos from our session today.

I haven't finished editing all of the images from our shoot. However, I chose a few of my favorites to share.

Thanks for the photo shoot Caleb. And good luck with your career.

I visited the Riverview Skate Park this afternoon.

It was a pretty quite afternoon. There were only a couple people there.

My main goal was to check out the lighting situation and judge the photo opportunities... Since I've never shot skateboarding before.

The Riverview skate park is extremelly challenging to shoot, due to the low light level and the limited gear I have. I will definitely return another time. And attempt to get a few more shots.

I did manage to get a couple photos while experimenting with different camera settings to see what I would need.

I'm sure I'll get more results next time I visit.

Varsity football

It was a disapointing night for me as a photographer.

I discovered that the low light performance of my camera is unacceptable at 3200 ISO. I suspected as much, but now I know for certain.

The sun was setting when the game started, and within a short time the sky was too dark for the equipment I have.

The lighting at Rocky stone field in Moncton and the limited low light performance of my camera and lens, just aren't good enough for outdoor sports at night.

I did manage to salvage a few shots before the sun dropped too low, so I thought I'd share.

As I mentioned previously the game took place at Rockystone field in Moncton. The combatants were the Riverview High School RoyalsVarsity team (white helmets) against Ecole Odyssée varsity football teams. And the Royalsd emerged victorious.

The Royal's next game takes place during the day. Hhopefully, I will be able to attend and get some more pictures.

JV Football

Today, at the Dobson field in Riverview, the Riverview High School junior varsity football team; the Royals, played host to the Fredericton High School junior varsity football tean; the Lions.

The Royals were in red and the Lions in white.

The victory went to the Fredericton Lions. Unfortunately, the scoreboard didn't seem to be working so I didn't catch the final score.

I have been trying to test myself as a photographer by trying new things. I have never photographed a football game before, so I decided to give it a try.

I chose a few of my favorites from the day to share...

I was impressed with the results I got on my first attempt at shooting football.. I will be doing more football soon and maybe some other sports as well.

A year of Portraits

I took some time and looked through the portraits that I have created over the past 12 months.

I wanted to share a few of my favorites. So, here they are...

It was hard to choose only a handful from all the great photos I've accumulated in the past year. But I really like the choices I made.

I look forward to doing many more portraits in the future.

By the way, the family portrait is of a young lady I used to work with at Costco and the others are all local models.
