So here is a MOBRO update.....my MO is slowly coming in, I admit my inner wookie is slowing down.  Today we had our Remembrance Day Ceremony so I was all suited up.  This shot is a tad out of focus but I think I look better out of focus anyway, har har.  -Randy

Decided to get out and explore a bit now that it is warmer.  Wanted to shoot a sunset.  Also decided today to stop branding my photos.  So from this day on I will be posting work as pure as I can without a logo.  I think it makes the work look better. -Randy

~ 9/365 Lost keys day, Grip arrived ~

The day started out quite stressful, lost my keys (car, house, the important kind) and had that on my mind all day.  Came home and searched and searched, thankfully I had a spot I couldn't check, because the wife had the car I wanted to search.  When she got home I found my keys, they had slipped under one of the seats.  I also saw a postal notice that a package had arrived.  I went and picked up the package and it was my new battery grip all the way from Hong Kong.  I decided my pic of the day would be of my grip on my new camera, which meant my old camera got in the mix of my 365.  I expect it to be dominated by my 5D but I think there will be times the 7D and possibly the 40D get in the fun!!! :)  Happy Hump Day!!!

~ 2/365 Sabrina ~

A new year and with the new year a chance to work with a new model.  Sabrina's from Vegreville and works out great for us to work together and do some creative work.  She came over for a mini shoot today, I was impressed with her posing ability, she really changes poses up frequently and is able to come up with a LOT of awesome looks and expressions for the camera.  It was a lot of fun to shoot with her, I knew right away from the first set of photos that this picture would make my 2/365.  So without further babble, here is day 2 of my 365.  Looking forward to tomorrow, a location shoot in the city of Champs with 2 lovely ladies.

5D and Photoshop CS4

I heard through the grape vine (other blogs) that adobe will be announcing their creative suite 4 on Sept.23rd. That is VERY cool. I am a photoshop LOVER and it'll be interesting to see what new features they are going to be adding to photoshop. I am a BIG lightroom fan now. I kind of hope there is some lightroom like features built in to photoshop. I think it would be cool to use presets or something like that in the new photoshop. Also Canon shooters are eagerly awaiting the new 5D successor. I just wish I had a million dollars to buy every new toy that comes out.
As for my "personal blog", I've decided to start doing some photoshop tips and add some pictures to give some visual instruction. I will try and have one up this week. It'll prob be some very basic stuff, so don't expect anything earth shattering. It's picture day today and I forgot as usual...hehehe. Good thing I never buy school photos.
