A little taste of backyard safari
After a long and hardworking shooting week, things have started to already pick up. I'm for sure feeling the pressure, but at the same time I am starting to feel more and more at home at Prairieview. Friendships are starting to build and everyone is getting to know each others own unique photography taste. Also, some of us were in the making of doing some destruction to our potato's from our creative imaging assignment on pretty much how to create emotion in a photograph without using any other objects and to let us explore further into using lighting. I think myself and my classmates can agree we have love and hate relationships with our potato's and I thought I was the only one who so wanted to let go, but you somewhat still had some bond to it which made it even harder to toss it into the red river... or perhaps eat it (which I eventually did). I also got to photograph what I love most for our Industry Studies assignment backyard safari. We were to photograph animals at the zoo, which at first doesn't seem like a challenge. It does not help when the animals are sleeping, but eventually they were up and adam doing there daily duties. I am still exploring what exactly is my kind of photography and what subjects I truly enjoy. I am still working on tieing my extreme love for animals/photography. One thing that brought out an emotional side was me was actually seeing/capturing the animals expressions and movements. It felt almost like I knew what they were thinking, but also drawing me to know more. This made my experience even more memorable because if I can feel this unique connection, I can use this to my advantage into my photographing. Well enough about that! Here is my little experience I had on my backyard Safari. STAY TUNED FOR SOME B/W PHOTOS!

IS3 Photo Genre or Technique
Looking over the number of photography techniques, I am very interested to learn more about nighttime photography.
Researching the history of nighttime photography, the first photographers to actually produce large bodies of work at night were Brassai and Bill Brandt. . In 1932, Brassai published Paris de Nuit, a book of black-and-white photographs of the streets of Paris at night. During World War II, British photographer Brandt took advantage of the black-out conditions to photograph the streets of London by moonlight.
By the 1990s, British-born photographer Michael Kenna had established himself as the most commercially successful night photographer. His black-and-white landscapes were most often set between dusk and dawn in locations that included San Francisco, Japan, France, and England. Some of his most memorable projects depict the Ford Motor Company's Rogue River plant, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station in northern England, and many of the Nazi concentration camps scattered across Germany, France, Belgium, Poland and Austria.
One thing I curious to learn more about is digital noise (which means when our exposures become to long. Most new digitals have this build in and it has names like luminance control and dark frame subtraction. Dark frame subtraction entails the camera immediately recording a second exposure after the first, but without opening the shutter. The noise is then removed leaving a clean night shot. Needless to say, keeping track of your exposure is crucial. My sites below gives step-by-step method to creating a nice clean nighttime photo.

1. I go crazy for these types of photos and wonder how they do it. They always remind me of the museum of man and nature and just going there to see the Auditorium.The abstract and intense usage of interesting exposure have held a soft childhood memory.

2.Who doesn't love a big old rusty car being brought back to life? At first when I looked at this, I admire the photographers decision to make the car the focus point while drawing the viewers eye to the street lights! Great lighting! Wonderful rule of thirds.

3. Again another starry night fetish. I like how this photo also has an abstract cicrular motion, It Creates fabulouis series of lines/implied lines. Also the glare off the houses makes great contrast to the sky.

IS2 Lindsay
I found this assignment to be quite fun because lines are everywhere, you just have to open your creative mind. During this,I figured out you could take pictures of pretty much anything that had a continued story to it. Challenges were just trying to to make the framing work for the picture so it would have a good lead. Overall, a fun new experience to help me see better!

The Story of Lindsay and the journey to Photography
I think by the end of this week I'm going to have the answer to this question perfected ha ha. My journey to becoming interested in photography was from travelling . To be honest, I think I have always been interested since I was young. I always thought I had a problem because I would look at one National Geographic book for 3 hours just looking at the photos (yes what kind of child actually reads books). I would also watch Discovery Channel often just to watch animals and how they survived on this world. I started travelling when I ended up going on a Europe trip with my high school for 14 days. I think that's when digital camera's became a huge thing and I started experimenting there and I absolutely loved it, I just wished memory cards were a lot bigger then so I didn't have to decided between two good photo's ha ha. When I came back from my trip, I was given many positive feed backs plus reviewing them made realize how passionate I was about my photo's looking back and remembering how different/beautiful the world was in that moment. So I ended up going to Australia in 2006 for 3 months by myself to experience more of the world. It has taken awhile but as cheesy as it may sound, I found something that truly makes me strive for more.
The techniques I'm hoping to learn by the end of the year is more technical stuff. I am very new to my SLR and I have been experimenting with it a little and I'm already getting the hang of it, but does need improvement. I would truly love to learn my actual style of photography because really I just love to shoot anything that looks free and out of the ordinary. Overall, to be the best I can be.
Q. Have you ever had a brush with greatness? Meeting someone famous)
Surprisingly, I have met someone famous. I ended up going to Australia Zoo in Brisbane and I was on my way to check out some elephants. Next thing I know, Steve Irwin (also known as the Crocodile Hunter) rode up to me on his little bike and started having a conversation with me. Now obviously I'm like speechless because I totally love the guy and he's asking me questions of where I'm from , how long I have been in the oz and how much he loves Canada and Polar bears. I was very happy to meet him because he passed away the next week.

Hello Mates!
I'm quite new to this whole blog thing so bare with me. I must say it's quite exciting to be starting this course with so many other people who all share a common passion for photography. To let you know about my style I'm pretty much an all out hippie. I absolutely love the outdoors/landscapes and anything that's out of the ordinary. I have a huge love for animals so when I get a chance I like to get out in the wilderness.. which living in Winnipeg that doesn't happen very often. I do enjoy taking portraits every now and then. I've started to take a liking to black and white photo's to after recently using my SLR camera for the second time ever. That pretty much raps it up. I look forward to getting to know all of you and seeing your work and goofing off when we can! Cheers!!
