Guys Fishin' Trip

This was a very special June, my brother Darren and I got to take our boys on their first annual guys fishin' trip! Luca (mine) is 5, and Hayden is 7, and they both caught fish (and won a trophy). It was an amazing weekend up at Oyama Lake Resort.  We have some amazing extended family, and the boys got to hang out with all of them!  Fish were caught, beers were consumed, stogies were smoked.  Everyone had a blast.

Project Do Stuf Day 15: Seniors Care Home Shoot

,

Today I went back to the old care home that my amazing grandfather was at for 5 years.  I brought my dad and my wife with me, and we got to shoot 17 sets of seniors.  Some had their family members, others were by themselves.  There was even one with 4 generations in the shot!  It was an emotional day, but a very special one. 

The photos were done for the families, not for the site.  We did get permission to post this one.

I hope this inspires you to go love on your grandparents!

Project Do Stuf Day 13: Editing the Shylo Shoot

,

Today was a long day of editing, but it was worth it!  I had 500 shots of Shylo, and about 3% of them weren't keepers!!!  It was very tough to choose my favourites.

Thanks so much to Shylo for being an incredible model. Be sure to check out her FB page and get the word out about her!

Check out the full gallery here.

Project Do Stuf Day 4-Random Photo Shoot

,

Well, it's nice out.  So I'm heading out with camera and gear, going to drive around and take lots of pictures of... random stuff.  No other guidelines than shooting stuff I've seen for a long time and thought "that would make a sweet picture".  The music playlist today will consist of James Hill on heavy repeat, one of my favorite albums ever.  Do yoself a big ole flavour and check him out!

I'll post some tonight. Have a great day everyone!

Later that day...

So here are the photos.  Go to the gallery to see more.  I had a nice time driving all around Langley and looking for stuf.  I ended up almost exclusively using the Sigma 20mm 1.8 lens on the 5D MKII.  It is a super wide lens on the 5D, and when the lens is wide open it has some really intense vignetting.  Lucky for me I love vignetting.  I also had an ND8 filter on it, so it allowed me to open the lens right up and get effects that you would normally do in Fotoshop.
