Photo Monday: Summer in Toronto

This one’s from the archives folks. To be completely honest, I attempted a photo experiment that completely flunked. Anyways, I’ll come up with something really fun for next week, but in the meantime, to help us get in a summer mood, here are some shots we took of Toronto last year when our friend Tondé was in town. Enjoy.

J’ai du sortir des photos des archives cette semaine. Pour être honêtte, j’ai essayé une expérience de photo et ça n’a vraiment pas bien fonctionner… donc, pour nous mettre dans l’esprit de l’été, j’ai pensé partager quelques photos que nous avons prises l’été passé lorsque notre ami Tondé était en visite.

Cheers,

Photo Monday: Gazillion Bubbles

I finally have a container of bubble solution (a birthday gift from my in-laws!) to take photos of bubbles. Apparently stores don’t keep this in stock during winter… it’s what they call a “seasonal item”. Anyway, for this experiment, I had a setup in mind for taking photos of bubbles, which was pretty much the same as the smoke shots I did a while back. I am really pleased with the results I got from it. Make sure to view the last photo large on black because you can see better just how crisp it turned out! Let me know what you think!

J’ai finalement une solution pour faire des bulles (un cadeau de mes beaux parents pour ma fête, en fait). Apparamment, les magazins considèrent ça comme un item saisonnier… En tout cas. Pour ce “Photo Monday”, j’avais une idée en tête pour prendre des photos de bulles. L’installation ressemblait beaucoup à celle que j’avais fait lorsque j’ai pris des photos de fumée il y a déjà quelques mois. Je suis vraiment content du résultat… laissez-moi un petit message pour me dire celle que vous préférée!! Assurez-vous d’aller voir la dernière photo en gros sur noir parce-qu’on peut voir les détails vraiment mieux. Bonne journée!

Have a great day!
Cheers,

Photo Monday: Fluid Dynamics

Salut tout le monde!

Here’s the result of my latest photo experiment. I was trying to capture the movement of a liquid in water. The photos aren’t as sharp as I wanted them to be, but it’s all because of my lack of continuous lighting… one of these days, I’ll get some studio lighting.

Voici le résultat de ma récente expérience de photo. J’ai essayé de capturer le mouvement d’un liquide dans l’eau. Les photos ne sont pas aussi sharp que j’aurais voulu, mais c’est surtout à cause de mon manque de lumière continue… un de ces quatres, je vais m’acheter des lumières de studio.

Cheers,

Photo Monday on Wednesday

That’s right. Another late “Photo Monday”… We had a great weekend with family visiting and I didn’t have time to sort through the shots to post them. Here are some shots we took around the Toronto waterfront. I hadn’t been there in the winter yet. Pretty cool place!

Et oui! Encore un “Photo Monday” en retard… On a passé un super beau weekend avec la famille et je n’ai pas eu le temps de mettre mes photos en ligne. Voici quelques photos que nous avons prises au bord de l’eau de Toronto. J’avais jamais été voir ça encore. Super cool comme place!

HDR in Saint Thomas

I have another great Photo Monday in store today. While away on vacation, we took a couple of afternoons off from sitting on the beach to walk around and take photos. Most of the HDR we did during this trip were shot at Charlotte Amalie, on a Sunday afternoon when everything was closed. At first, our friend felt really bad that things were closing so early on Sunday (around noon), but we were delighted. It gave us time to walk around and get shots that would normally be full of tourists. Hope you enjoy these HDRs shot around Charlotte Amalie.

Have a great Family Day (for those in Ontario!)!
Cheers,

Infinity Pool
This shot was taken at house that was for sale. We sneaked in their courtyard to take this awesome view. I wish the infinity pool was “on” so that you’d get the real illusion. View On Black
