Life Sessions

Capturing memories and moments in time, is a large part of what a photographer does. It’s nice to be invited to share special moments in a families life. Going forward I’ll be offering family sessions,and packages so that your family can have images and prints you will cherish over your lifetime. My friend Angie invited…

Up Close

Another idea based theme. Up Close. Strictly speaking this should probably be a macro photograph, but since it’s fall and most flowers are dead… I chose a less strict interpretation. I have already printed, matted and mounted this first image for submission, however I took a photo the next day with a different lens.  Post some…

Mixed Light

One Challenge photographers face is mixed light source. Although most do not register that lights cast different colour hues- mixed light can wreck images. On the theme of Mixed-light, this image features parklights and the full moon, as the two light sources. I chose to correct for the parklights (removing the harsh yellow glow) and left…

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition- an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. I simply could not get a bird to land on the birdbath after I was all set up with camera and “beany duck” in position.  I was ready to drive to Elk Island and take pictures of buffalo instead when…

Night Photography

This one was some fun with my friend Gord Gray. We set up his VW Single cab against this tattoo mural. I think this Air-ride rat-rod and the classical styled tattoo mural compliment each other very well. We set up, waited for the sun to fall then ran around popping my speed-flashes to paint the…

Some Fun

Given a topic of Painting with light thought I’d have some fun- weather outside was bit cold so set up an improvised camping diorama in the office. With the lights off I played with some coloured flashlights to expose the following scenes. “What is it boy?” Bennett, D. (2014). “What is it boy?”. [image]. Complementing…

Rural

Topic of the week RURAL – Challenge is to capture an image that reflects the topic. I had multiple ideas but could not capture what I was after. When the crops start to come in the timeline to capture the farmers in the field is short. My initial shoot was a gloomy wet Saturday, it…

Theme Based Topic

Theme for this photograph is Solitude. This photo captures my interpretation of the word while reflecting a bit of my personality. Bennett, D. (2014). “Vashta Nerada“. [image].EF85mm f/1.2L ISO 100 85mm f/4.0 10s This image features the Vashta Nerada (carnivorous creatures living in the shadows, from Doctor Who’s “Silence in the Library”) trapped in a…

Angles and Curves

Lines and Curves, Lines and Curves, Lines and Curves, ok I’ve got an image in mind, now off I go to capture it. I was pleased with the result after several different angles and failed attempts. South end of the High Level bridge, people kept slowing down thinking that I was photo radar. Bennett, D….

Thank you to all who have supported me over the years.
We have decided to remain closed for the duration of COVID. 
I am spending time with family. Once Vaccine roll-out is complete we will re-assess and consider re-opening spring 2022.
