Taken at the Annual Alberta Police Memorial in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. Quite an emotional scene as these two officers lay wreths for their fallen comrades.
Who needs a 12mp DSLR? Apparently not the Germans. Leica announced the other week that they’re releasing a brand new DSLR which is going to be shooting at a 37.5mp rate. Yes, you heard me, thirty-seven point five megapixels. It’s jaw dropping to know the future of our DSLRs first we’re seeing 1080p videos taken on the light weight Canon EOS 5D Mark II (which is a semi-professional camera mind you) to outstanding mega-pixel rates of 37.5! Be sure to check out the Leica website to check out the Leica S-System and keep an eye out for a release date.
Back to the on-going news of my blog and website, I will no longer be displaying any of my older photographs in these posts. after this post. It’s a new era of this blog that any photographs that are posted here will be brand new peices and will hopefully have some sort of story, setup process and/or lighting diagram. So if I maange to take a fun picture that I want to share with you folks, or if I’m out on a photoshoot that I want to talk about, I’ll be posting about it here. Now all that I require is some inspiration and creativity to produce some neat new shots.
In the mean time, I’ve been keeping up with my photography. It’s been absolutely amazing that I’ve been taking and posting a new photo every day to my Flickr 365days challenge. I’m still alive and kicking and it’s day 18. The weird thing is, I’m enjoying it, even if some of the photos I’m taking are absolutely stupid/uncreative. Not to mention I’m not the biggest fan of being the subject of my own photography or anyone else’s photorgraphy in that case. I think the trick to the whole challenge is to keep it as fresh and fun as possible… No one likes taking photos of themselves day in and day out without some sort of theme or idea behind the shot. So far, with my shots, I’ve started to play a little game of “Rubber Duck Hide & Seek“… I have a small little rubber duck that I got from work over the holidays that has been hiding in each of my photographs for the 365days shots. Although I usually forget about him everytime I take my 365, making me reshoot everything all over again after I’ve taken down my lights and setup… Another type of photograph challenge that I started this morning was a Copycat. It’s a very simple premise of doing your best to copy on of your contact’s photos to the best of your ability, but it’s the simple things like that that will keep your 365days challenge alive and breathing.
I’ve also sent off for two prints of my A Tale of Love photograph. When I was down at McBane’s camera, I was very reluctant to hand over my photographs in RAW format to the clerk, but I finally went through with it. I submitted the photo for a 24×16 and 12×8 print to test out the quality of their printers. If they turn out, I’m going to be more willing to sell my prints off to those who are interested and I’ll have the information of what I need to get prints and pricing off to future ‘customers’. However, in the mean time it all comes down to the waiting game. They said that both prints will be ready for my this Thursday, so I’ll be sure to let you guys know how they turn out.
