It seems no matter how old you are you can recount “The Good
Old Day’s”. For many of us photographers here in Newfoundland Labrador Sea staging
a grand show. It’s been so long since we’ve seen anything but a few drabs of
ice in this part of Newfoundland
King of the Sea

A lot of people might think Newfoundland is in the far north
however I would like to point out that St John’s is at 47.561485 degrees north
latitude, further south than our sister city of Vancouver, further south
than Seattle Washington. Our climate is colder than these cities
because of the path of the ocean currents. In eastern North America
the warmer Gulf Stream from the Gulf of
Mexico flows out into the middle of the North Atlantic
missing Newfoundland Western Europe including Britain London
It’s about to turn April 2012 and there’s a bit of ice
around, who knows maybe this will be the year? Maybe?
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
This is not an Iceberg!
…. taken March 25, 2012 . A friend told me you
might call this an iceberg if you were from Toronto

Hey Brian, great blog. A lot of useful information and expertly presented, execellent avenue for a beginner (as myself) to learn the art! Some of your posts regarding lighting are in reference to available/ambient light; and after seeing your new portrait you added to FB, how about passing on some of your expert knowledge on the subject of studio portrait lighting. Maybe something on lighting setup/arrangement, choices (stobe/flash, softbox/umbrella), backgrounds, etc, or anything else that you feel would be beneficial. I know that this is a broad topic, just a suggestion though... looking forward to your response. Nice self portrait btw, great lighting! All the best, and thanks for the knowledge sharing in this blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dion that's a great idea. I hope to do posts on flash, flash/available light and ambient light. I've got some private classes scheduled on natural light portraiture and have been collecting a list of suggestions for it. Some great ideas and the great thing is this helps me too, so hopefully we'll all learn something. Hope to have something in the next few weeks on this. Thanks for visiting!
