Road hockey rules! A fun shot while enjoying a Canadian tradition that can be seen on any road across this country of ours.

Photo of the Day!

What could be better than your first Birthday! All the attention of family and friends plus some pretty sweet gifts and a big cake just for you. We celebrated little Rowan's 1st Birthday this past weekend, man a year goes by quick. All with D700 and SB80 either in my hand or on a lightstand and triggered with my ebay radio slaves. Lens was my Sigma 15-30.  All photos here.

New flash Radio triggers...

Just got some new wireless triggers for my flash photography, these are supposed to have a little more range than my current models. They are made by Yongnuo, model RF-602, I bought the three receivers and one trigger for $82.00. They come with coiled cords with Nikon 10 pin end to let you trigger your camera or flash and a coiled 1/4 " jack for bigger studio flashes, even shipped with Duracell AA, looks like a good deal. The build feels great, finish and packaging is excellent, my current ebay triggers always felt a little cheap(they have worked pretty well for the past couple years). I will be putting these through their paces in the next few days.

Sense of freedom and isolation high in the sky. I just love the simplicity of this photo. D700  and Nikon 80-200, processed in Lightroom.

Montreal - Beautiful part of our history

With our good friends we ditched the kids for a 24 hour getaway and headed up the road to Montreal. I lived here for a couple years while I worked as a tech illustrator for Canadair. Montreal is an amazing place and always has something interesting to see or enjoy. We enjoyed shopping on Saint Catherines, some good meals and the ambiance of the big city, all the while not having to watch out for little feet or fingers getting into trouble. Old Montreal is about as close you can get to Europe without the expensive flight.
Here are a few shots, the rest are here.

Black and Blue's Hallows Eve Tour!

Black and Blue were out on tour on Halloween, first stop was supper and trick or treating in the suburbs of Kanata. Black played some spooky slide guitar to entertain the little trick or treaters on a breezy night. We headed out to a house party hosted by Blacks friend Tina. All sorts of great costumes and lots of laughs, even a little Bullwhip action!

Enjoy!
