The Dawson Creek Photo Walk Group

We had a group of 9 solid people who came out on October 1, 2011 for the 1st annual Peace Region Photo Walk and 4th annual World Wide Photo Walk. Ross traveled the furthest, coming from High Level, Ab.

Our group was pretty diverse, several with DSLR’s and a few with Point and Shoots. Keep in mind that having a Point and Shoot doesn’t mean you can’t take a good photo. From what I saw, Monica, took one of the best shots of the day with her point and shoot.

Downtown Dawson Creek offered some pretty cool shots. It has such culture of an old town and many back alleys that allow for some rustic shots. Part of me wishes I could have scouted out first, but then again I should work on taking my time and really capturing what I was seeing.

More Lightbox Tests with new Lights

One again I’m back with using a lightbox. Ultimate goal will be for food, but as I have no food at the moment, a mug and shoe will do.

New lights, new setup for the lightbox. This time no above lighting, just two side lights.

The Lights of Charlie Lake at Night

An adventure is search of aurora proved unsuccessful in aurora still provided some mediocre shots. As I sat at one of the boat launches of Charlie Lake, just outside fo Fort St. John I got to see the lights of the little community and many starts.

I’m still working on my photography of the stars, but this attempt was a little better and the first I think I am sharing. My favourite out of these shots are the landscape shot of the lights of Charlie Lake lighting up the surrounding area and the opps shot of the very blurry lights.

Chase Jarvis once said something along the lines of “it takes 1000 good shots before a photographer discovers their style.” I think I only have 998 to go.

Dawson Creek Photo Walk coming soon!

Photo Walk Dawson Creek this Saturday, October 1, 1pm – 4pm. Yes I suppose I am really waiting until the last-minute to promote this, but that is how I roll. Or that is how my memory rolls.

What is a Photo Walk you ask? Well it is when a group of people come together from all skill levels of photography to share the hobby. They go along a pre-set route and talk, learn, teach and take photos. Afterward can all gather and share the photos they took.

This photo walk coming up in Dawson Creek, BC will be apart of the fourth annual World Wide Photo Walk. There will be at least 1000 other photo walks happening on the same day across the globe. The official Dawson Creek photo walk page can be found on the site as well.

I’m personally really excited to go on the walk because I enjoy sharing a hobby with other people and hearing why they love it. It is also a good opportunity to share what I know and hopefully pick up some new tricks

Dawson Creek Photowalk

I hope everyone that is interested in Photography at all comes out to at least meet other. Everyone should also go to the Facebook Event Page and RSVP so we have an idea of the numbers coming. See you there at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery at 1pm!

Pop Goes the Daisy by Alexander Legaree

One could make a joke about the title, but I wont. I love this shot.

Alexander mentioned he would be doing a shoot with the fabulous Tiffany Ayalik when I had him on the podcast and he wasn’t kidding.

This shoot is amazing, taken in the lobby of the Legislative Assembly of the NWT, which has a nice high ceiling and open spaces. Lighting was definitely used to light up Tiffany, but I really like what appears to be back lighting. It adds real depth to the image.

In a planned creative shoot with the ever talented Tiffany Ayalik, we explored the duality of the human persona. One side sugary sweet and the other; well, let’s just say that it is less than desirable. I think that this shot covers both!
