Controlling Light

Yesterday I had a chance to brush up on my skills and make some photographs utilizing off-camera lighting techniques. There is a new movement in the industry called the "Strobist" movement that basically allows photographers to use small strobes with wireless flash triggers to create big results. I've posted some examples of what I did yesterday below. If you are interested in reading more about Strobist Techniques, please visit David Hobby's site CLICKING HERE.

Please don't hesitate to post your thoughts and comments below and for the rest of the set, please visit my Flickr page HERE.

Craft Your Success Tour

In two weeks time, there will be a one-day seminar called "Craft Your Success" (craftyoursuccesstour.com). This is being run and sponsored by award winning Canadian photographer Davide Greene (davidgreene.ca), Rock Star Photographer David Jay (davidjay.com), and Michael Anderson (michaelandersonphotography.ca).

I've followed David Jay through his Open Source Photo forum (OSP) for quite some time, idolizing what he has done in the industry and what beautiful pictures he makes. I've also been fortunate enough to meet Davide Greene through an OSP/meetup.com meeting last year where I got to know a really great guy who is a wealth of knowledge. And even though I don't know Michael Anderson, just to be associated with both David(e)'s gives him credibility beyond belief and I am sure I will learn a lot from him too.

If you are a photographer, wanting to learn more about the business side of things, this is probably an event you are not going to want to miss.

Cheers!
