My time on the bench is coming to an end. I worked Monday and Thursday as full days this week, and Tuesday and today are half days. Due to a rodeo kicking off tonight in Stettler, I'm also working this weekend. I'm okay with it though, I love covering rodeo! I've been out shooting in … Continue reading Productive downtime

Well, after spending half a decade shooting with my venerable T6i it's time to say goodbye. While the camera was still taking reasonable photos, it was beginning to develop some issues that were making it less than an ideal platform for my journalism and other photography needs. Basically, the issues coming forward were really making … Continue reading Making changes…

Photo by Adrianna Calvo on Pexels.com Today was another busy day. I met B at ten to film his first weekly devotional, taking over from the pastor who took over from him while he was away on his sabbatical. Aside from a minor technical issue, the filming went well and we got the video done … Continue reading Small steps today, big steps tomorrow…

The day hasn't been overly busy, but it has been steady. I was up and out earlier than I have been of late. I was filming the weekly devotional put out by our church during the Covid-19 shutdown. After we finished the filming, I headed down to the store to do the editing on the … Continue reading Mastering my craft…

Photography Friday: ACDSee

For image cataloging, I love ACDsee. I was turned on to the software by Greg Johnson, the Tornado Hunter, in one of his two workshops I've taken. The software allows you to go through photos fairly quickly, much more quickly than using Mac's finder app. Using the software I am able to comb through hundreds … Continue reading Photography Friday: ACDSee

Photography Friday, the Journey So Far…

It's time for another Photography Friday! Before I got into photography, the craft didn't really hold much appeal to me. My experience with cameras has always been with the point and shoot variety, and I never really thought that I had the eye for it. I -erroneously- thought that photographers did nothing but take pictures. … Continue reading Photography Friday, the Journey So Far…

In an effort to introduce some focused content into my blog, I'm introducing Photography Fridays. These blogs will be focused on various aspects of photography, ranging from workflow to equipment that I use. Before I got into photography, I was under the false assumption that it was all pointing and shooting a camera, however since … Continue reading Photography Friday:Workflow
