Morning Sunrise Content Creation Project

 Got my self a camera stabilizer and had the opportunity to try it out. There was a bit of learning curve and  I definitely will be taking a lost from this initial test.   The main takeaways:

-my Tamron lens is just too heavy and i'll have to use my kit lens
-the heavier lens also forced me to slot the camera in slightly off balanced position so all my shots appear to swoosh up a bit-Aperture priority just won't cut it in low light situations, will need to go full manual to avoid the compensations 

A Quick Tutorial On Long Exposure Photography

A nice little video I made with some one of my favorite musical pieces.   I explain my workflow for long exposure photography - using an ND filter to knock down the amount of light hitting the lens so the camera has to keep the shutter open for longer.  In this case about 20 seconds.

A Case For Shooting In Aperture Priority Mode

I've really enjoyed shooting these past few months with my Nikon D5600. I proved to myself that yes - i can shoot in manual mode but have finally told myself that it's okay to shoot in AP. I used to think it was cheating or being lazy. Truth be told - it is way easier and I've shot some of my best stuff lately in AP and really started enjoying the art of photography again. 

Skating In Thunder Bay

What an awesome group of people running the Eclectic Skate Shop and Skate Park. After introducing myself they let me photograph a session. It was so great to reconnect with skateboarding again.

Hiking About Silver Islet

Spent a few  days with my good friend Ken out at Silver Islet.  We hiked around the tops of the mountains around the shore and down by the water's edge.
