FACTORY SHOOT

I work for a furniture manufacturer, and the building we work in is over 100 years old.  It's full of personality, brick walls, wood floors, cool stuff and dust, and we had the opportunity to shoot it in some gorgeous afternoon light after work had finished up for the day.  Check out our full set on Flickr.

SPRING FEVER

In the beautiful weather we had this past weekend, we grabbed our cameras and hit the Centreville Pond with Emma to shoot some of the remnants of winter.  Check out our Spring Fever set on Flickr!

DEPTH OF FIELD - FORKS AND SPOONS EDITION

Part of our second assigment was to use maximum and minimum depth of field on the same subject.  Manipulating DoF is one of my FAVOURITE things to do - I was in bokeh heaven!

Here are the two shots of forks and spoons, laid out on a mirror.

We're taking a photography course, and our first assignment is thirty pictures that say something about us.

DO YOU EAT THE RED ONES LAST?

Smarties.

Candy coated chocolate.

My mouth thinks one word: Yum!

My camera thinks one word: Lensbaby!

I let the camera have its way with them first, and here are the results!


when you eat your smarties...

And then I ate them!

do you eat the red ones last?

Shot for an assignment in our photography class: 30 images that tell something about you.  I like candy!  I think the last one, with me grabbing a green Smartie will be the one that makes the cut.
