I haven’t been driven enough to write loads recently, and being back in an education that seems almost full time (except the strike) means that I haven’t had a spare moment to create a post that gives justice to my absence… So here are some photos instead of Ottawa just before the dark sets in. All taken on a Lumix … Continue reading Snapshots #14: Ottawa awattO
**Sorry for the no show I’ve had so much happen (all will be revealed) *** I haven’t really been posting photography related things recently, mainly due to the combination of working very long shifts and being in the awkward waiting transitional period of graduating and continuing my life as an adult… Camera equipment can be bulky and heavy, and that is not just the price … Continue reading Photography Tips #14: Moving to Mirrorless

However, what I do have is a Canon … Continue reading Photography Tips #12: Weddings

There is nothing I like more than lying on the floor not having to worry about things. Maybe my nihilist approach to life does have its benefits as the angle from the floor under theatre lights does something magical for me. Living by the 45 degree rule in photography and by application the rest of my life, finding that the 45 degree rule is 3D … Continue reading Photography Tips #11: Capturing a Performance
What an amazing outcome. After the untimely (but fixable) death of my Canon EOS 6d I managed to acquire, one of the arguably best sports camera Canon produce the Canon EOS 7dii. This update from the 7d, has all the features the 7d had, but augmented to a modern platform. I admit I may be a bit bias with this camera as its amazing.

I love being a university sports photographer. True, the work is mainly for little or no money but it does give me the opportunity to travel around as well as learn more about sports I previously had no or wrong misconceptions of.
