Oh boy, what a lovely sunset+outtakes

I met up with Alex and Steph for an engagement session tonight at Richard’s memorial park in Mississauga. We started at quarter to 8 and shot until we were out of visible light.

I used a SB-900 on a VOL with shoot through umbrella, and an SB-600 on camera for on-axis fill. My cactus V4s are starting to act up on me and after a year of steady use are starting to become unreliable. I’m getting approximately 70% success rate, and as I’m starting to shoot professionally, this is becoming unacceptable. My backup plan has been to just use the SB-600 on camera as a master and slave the SB-900 but this will not always work. I am beginning to think I’m going to have to invest in some pocket wizards.I’ve got a big commercial shoot on thursday, and I don’t know if I can rely on what I have.

Anyways, here is a quick selection with some outtakes from tonight’s shoot—havn’t really processed them much. Naturally, more to follow.

Yes, I wear magenta shoes. Don’t like it? Tough luck.

Not polygamy: calling all brides

Carlsburg—probably the best beer in the world, heh—is having a contest to throw one lucky couple a $100,000 wedding in October. The contest is coincidentally called The Big Wedding Bash. To promote the self-proclaimed biggest party in the city, Carlsburg took over BMO Field during half-time at last saturday’s TFC game for a good’ol running of the brides. The event started at the Foggy Dew, and then onto the Brazen Head and finally BMO Field where 5 brides and one groom promoted the contest. Once halftime arrived, the brides made their way to field level where they set up on either end of the pitch. The Groom and official braced themselves at the center-line, waiting for a bridal brawl as 10 brides charged to be the first one to meet groom. Good family fun.

I recently had the chance to do some commercial office photography. Disclaimer: this isn’t a normal 9-5 office. Let the wacky-creative-brainstorming begin now.
