My photographer friend Jon did a business shoot for stock this week and he just sent it to me. He got some really nice shots, including these few examples.
You may recognize Jenn from the Valentines Shoot.
I’m having lots of fun playing with the Canon G11 these days. It’s a great little point & shoot that’s compact enough to carry in a coat pocket, yet it’s got some heft and great shooting features. I’ve seen it referred to as the “pro’s point & shoot”, and I concur.
Here’s a Animoto video I made using mostly the G11 for pics & video from MacGregor Point. (A few shots from previous seasons taken with my 5D are mixed in there, too.) Be sure to click the HQ button after clicking play.
My friend Shelley recently held an open house at her beautiful new Fitness Fanatics studio, located in Port Elgin. It was a great turnout as lots of people tried the various equipment and watched a kickboxing group get ranked by the folks from Kickboxing Canada. You can check out her website here.
The folks out at MacGregor are using one of my shots on the cover of their Guide again for this year. I think should look great. So there you go, Kerry, it’s not a billboard, but we’re getting there!
I emailed the singer/songwriter Matisyahu to ask for his permission to post the video I made of the Olympic Torch Run using his song, One Day, as the soundtrack, and he said to go to ahead and that he found the vid “very moving”. Well, I was thrilled to hear that, as you might imagine.
(You can check him out performing the song on Letterman on December 18th.)
In the meantime, I got a few more pictures from my sister-in-law, Lanny, added them in and re-did the vid. Here’s the new verison, which I hope you like.
My agency liked the shoot of Miss Kerry and her family, so they picked up a bunch of the shots. Here are my favourites of the ones they took. We’ll get you on a billboard yet, Kerry! (lol)
Here are some of the shots from Jon’s swimsuit shoot for stock that he did for me last week. We’ll add some generic beach scenes to the backgrounds of some of them, but for others, the white background allows the agency’s clients to float the shots onto the page, whether it’s an ad or an editorial piece. More often than not, that’s the way they prefer it.
Looks like a fun shoot, eh?
One qualifier: a BIG reason I use Mac (laptop and desktop) is so that I don’t have to worry about viruses, worms, bugs, bots, whatever. Oh, and also iTunes. And Garage Band. And iPhoto. And Time Machine.
But I digress. It’s a good video. (Watch it right to the very end, past the credits.)
My photograher friend, Jon, did a stock shoot for me yesterday that we had been planning for a couple of weeks. It turned out great, and he says they all had a blast. Sure looks like they were having fun! Hopefully my agency will pick up a bunch of the shots.
I sent this vid of her family photo shoot to my friend, Terra, but she couldn’t play it (gotta love computers). I posted it here so she can see it … and now you, too!
