Hello All!

So I have pretty much finished the editing on my Environmental Portrait. There are still the odd tweeks here and there that I'm going to fix before I print the final image. Let me know what you think!

Alright, so last week our Environmental Portrait was due. We had about a month to do it, and yet I am still handing it in late. How does this happen!? Well, I started the same we the assignment was delivered. The first attempt, I was on my way to the location of the shoot (which was a quary in wakefield) and I got into an accident. Being overwhelmed by this I decided that the shoot probably wouldn't have turned out well, so I decided to try it again a few days later. The second attempt was two days later.. and we got lost. I completely lost the sun and couldn't shoot. That was my fault for not knowing where I was going in the first place. I was beginning to think that this photo shoot just wasn't meant to happen. The third attempt I decided to do the shoot a lot closer, the Ottawa River. Of course the day that I pick (or the whole week i should say) the weather was just not on my side. We got there and took a couple of shots, if was FREEZING and started to poor rain, so we have to pack up. The week after that I had in bed mostly because I had to get my wisdom teeth out. Finally last week I did the shoot in a friends back yard by the pool. I got some great shots... but because we lost a lot of light the images are a bit soft (its hard to focus in the dark).

For the past couple of weeks we've been practicing small flash in our Camera and Lighting class. Last week we went down town to one of the courtyards to play around. It rained SO hard once we got down there so we didn't do too much shooting... then I got a parking ticket (I was only like 5 min over) !!. Here are some images taken that day, I have a few others I'm going to post but I haven't finished the editing on them yet !
