Welcome Winter!

This week in photography has been hellish but very very very interesting. We photographed five days in a row. BMXers, dancers, ninjas, free runners... crazy mix of people. Haha but it was a lot of fun and I learned lots. My teacher Ian Hylands taught us a lot about lighting action photos and I figured out how I want to photograph bands using these same techniques. Stoked to try it out in the studio :)

So the photo on the right was taken this Friday at some beach near UBC. Haha it was an interesting morning. Had to take the bus to UBC area and then get off at the top of this hill... now it's 8:30 in the morning and I have no idea where I am. Thank my handy-dandy iPhone and Google Maps for helping me find my way!! I had to go down this steep hill. When I say steep, I mean... COMPLETE SLANT LIKE A MOUNTAIN. I wish I was over exaggerating. There was ice on the side walk and ice and converse DO NOT GET ALONG! So I walked on the crusty frost covered grass, yay for being smart. Anyways made it to the location safely. Seriously though I suck at walking on dry concrete. I trip at least three times when I walk anywhere. It's insane. I guess I just don't lift my foot as much, it's usually my right too. Rawr. Anywho, it was very cold and I felt so bad for the dancers who were out there but they toughed it out! Great fun :)

In this photo I didn't use flash, but I did in other shots that I will post eventually.
