2 Sunday Shoots

Two shoots down...the biggest one of my life coming up on November 6th. My first wedding shoot.
I have two friends who asked if I would take some photos for them. On Sunday my daughter & I went to our friend's house and took some pics along a trail with her daughter and the dogs. In the afternoon I met up with a friend & her family. Here's just a taste. My friend's daughter didn't want to turn around so I leaned over the log and got this great pic looking down the log and both dogs on either side. #2: My daughter and her friend.

So excited!

I'm reviewing the material I picked up at the Photographic Show last weekend. While in London today I stopped in at Henry's to see the LensBaby products and started my Christmas list!! Praying for good weather tomorrow as I'm photographing some family pics for a few friends. Hoping the outdoor shots turn out as the wind/rain this week has pretty much killed the autumn leaves on the trees.

Family Photos

Ahhh....we finally got it right! It was quite windy today but I'm happy with the way they turned out. This is at the park just down the road from us.

Thanksgiving

What a GORGEOUS weekend! I went to Mary Maxim in Paris, Ontario with my daughter, mom and two sisters. Mom took my daughter home for a sleepover. My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate our 18th anniversary. Sunday everyone was at my parents for turkey dinner (yum) and I took some family photos. However, our daughter didn't want to cooperate when it was "our" turn. Thankfully she was in the group photo. We drove around today trying to outrun the rain. Unfortunately I got some great shots but they are ALL out of focus. arrrr*!*@** So, we will try again next weekend. My goal is to have an updated family photo for Christmas cards. We have some from March but I really wanted some nice autumn ones to choose from. Until later...

Downtown Walkabout

Here are some photos of the Woodstock Court House, Woodstock Public Library and one from inside Knox Church.
Edit: The photos are in reverse order. Who knew??

Just Back from Camera Club

What a meeting! In fact, it wasn't a meeting at all but a Downtown Walkabout. We were instructed to bring our tripods because of the low light conditions (shooting at dusk) and to meet at the Courthouse. Then we just clicked away. When we were finished the Courthouse we went to the Library, the Art Gallery, Knox Presbyterian Church (and allowed to go inside), the old Armouries and some of us shot the Public Health Building. It was the best way to practise using your manual setting in low light. Pictures will be posted later.

NYC Trip

It was a whirlwind bus trip: 3 nights/4 days. We actually stayed in New Jersey and with travelling time it was only 2 days in NYC but what a blast! I saw everything I wanted to see (well almost), even if it was through the bus window. We were hot and exhausted. Would I do it again? You bet!

We were treated to a beautiful night view of Manhattan from across the river, the views of Central Park from The Top of the Rock are stunning, and of course I had to visit some Sex and the City sites, namely Carrie's front stoop. Enjoy this little teaser--I printed 122 photos in all.
