So... not much is new, we had some retarded snow storm on Thursday, which just made me more mad because I now have to wait even longer to shoot what I want.

Anyways, got some new poles today for the rig, thanks to one of my good friends dad actually, he said if I take pictures of his car(Mustang Mach 1, I forget that year though... older like 70' something lol, anyway its insanely nice) and one of his friends old school muscle. So it will be nice to get away from the whole import thing and have other cars to photograph haha. They are 6 ft long, screw together, and i can keep adding to it, and they are SUPER light, which is fantastic! I am quite excited, but I dont want to do rig shots all the time, everyone seems to be heading that direction, and I'd rather see some real nice rolling shots instead.

I dont even remember the last time I turned on my camera, but this summer its going to be getting its usage. I found another way to edit in Lightroom, so we'll see how that goes. This is just another useless post if you havent figured out by now. I put an order for a 135 f/2 and then that should do it for the collection until I save forever and maybe get a 5D mk2 but that wont be for a very long time.
New Imac's did come out but I think I'm going to wait for that, since theres no point in having that computer if I have 0 pictures to edit. Anyway, random post, I got home, its not 230 am and I was bored. Hopefully this "blog" gets a little bit more.. interesting. :)

Heres that Tacoma shot I was talking about. Turned out alot better then I was thinking, although the sun was right behind it, so even with a ND9 and F/22 it was still so very bright haha. Focus was good though, these new poles I'm using are working pretty good.

I used the XTI, still have yet to use the 50D for some rig shots, but it went really well, I'd suggest everyone go pick up a Tokina 11-16 2.8 if you havent already, very nice lens.

Probly wont be shooting something automotive for a while now, we got a fresh layer of snow the next day after these pictures and nothings really melted.. which is gay but I guess thats what you gotta deal with living here. I'll be putting up more shots soon, so some reedits of things, just to get ready.

I'm also looking at getting a new computer, preferrably a Mac, but they say theres new Imac's coming out.. so maybe wait for those? I dont know.. we'll see!

First of 09.

2009-02-23T00:59:00.002-07:00

Finally got to go out and shoot with a friends car, and another friends truck..

The truck made things interesting, and most of the shots are overexposed even with a ND9 filter on haha. Was good to get back in the swing of things though, I cant wait for spring to come.

The Tokina 11-16 2.8 is a very nice lens, I'm not missing my siggy 10-20 that much anymore. I didnt however get to try out the 50D with these, I felt it would be to heavy, so I just stuck with the XTI without my grip on it.

Stay tuned for some Tacoma pictures if I can fix them a bit in PP.

Just a nice little update, I havent really taken any pictures lately, but I'm just going to keep this thing going here.

Um.. last night was interesting, found girl of my DREAMS, who also likes photography, but we'll see how that goes. Writing my 3rd year schooling final on wednesday, so then hopefully I pass and can pay for all the camera stuff I have bought over the last couple months haha, and then I'll have way more free time for taking pictures. This year feels alot better then the last 2 so we'll see how it goes.. wish me luck for all 0 of you that read this :).

Anyway just updating this, hopefully I'll have some pictures up soon, even if i have to reedit some from last year :)

Waiting for summer..

2009-02-07T15:25:00.005-07:00

I'm getting rather impatient with this whole summer thing, listening to how people in Australia are having +46C weather is a bit ridiculous when we have.. -6? right now, if not colder..

I guess I'm more excited to use all my stuff this year.. Over winter I have made a few purchases.
These to be exact haha.

Its funny though because if you told me last year I would have all this stuff I would have laughed in your face, but apparently working at a camera store just motivates you to buy it all. I just haven't been able to use it as much as I would like, being in school right now its kinda hectic.

Just one of my favorite pictures I've taken. I really need to dial in my rig for this up coming season. Although I don't want all of my shots to be rig shots, as a lot of people's are, which is great I just feel there is so much potential in other things other then rig shots.

I'm trying to get a handle on posting things on to this blog setup... so far its not working out great, so if you know how to do it, let me know haha.

It had to happen sometime..

Seem’s like anyone whos anyone these days has one of these little set ups.. so here I am :).

Mostly my photos are going to be here, but you never know when a rant may come about. I tried this last year but failed horribly, so we’ll see how it goes.

I’m 22, Live in Canada, and usually have my camera glued to my face
