Light Painting at The Hive

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:39 -0500

My friend invited me to take photos of his band, Mute Union, playing at a bar in Kitchener. They were going on stage pretty late so I had some time to prepare for the shoot on other bands. I had my SB-600 and an off camera cable, so I pointed the flash at different things to bounce it. That produced a sharp, well lit, photo. I was going to go with that and shoot the whole show in that style until I realized it was boring, it showed no movement, and it did not convey the energy of the performers. That's when I remembered about dragging the frame. I've seen it in many photos, I knew how to recreate it, but I had never tried it myself. I set the shutter speed to 1", raised the flash and pointed straight at the performers, and swirled the camera around. I'm really lucky I remembered about this, it made a huge difference in the photos and saved my ass.

The rest of the set is in a gallery.

Doubles inspired by Derek O'Donnell's doubles.

Carriage rides go around the city center every day during the summer, and are a usual sight to see. As are the stray dogs that can be found all over the city.

Kitten

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:01 -0500

I came to Lviv about 6 weeks later than my brother and sister did. I was going to stay two weeks and we were going to go back to Toronto together. By this time my sister has been on several tours, museums, and outings to the city center. She knew her way around and told me about some of the buildings which she remembered from the tours. Walking down a small cobblestone street, we see this kitten on a stone balcony balcony. According to my sister this building had recently had a fire and no one was living there. She said that the kitten was trapped and we HAD to rescue it. It took a while but I was able to convince her that the kitten was gonna be ok and we did not have to save it. The next day we walked by the same balcony and the kitten was no longer there. Someone else saved it.
