High Dynamic Range

The following photos are made using a technique called HDR or "high dynamic range."
This process is done in post production and is used on photographs where there are too many tones to capture in a single photo. The software I use is called Photomatix Pro. It is actually a free program and is great to experiment with.

This technique creates kind of a surreal look to your photos. It is another reason to always shoot RAW format.

Winning Photo in international contest!!

Last year I entered a few photos in the Photolife Images International Photo contest. Out of tens of thousands of entries, I was fortunate enough to win 9th place in the People category. Here is the winning image.

I took this photo in Canmore in August 2009 while volunteering for KCCFA. Watch for it in the upcoming issue of Photolife magazine.

These shots were of a family that was photographed near the Shaw conference center in the scenic Edmonton river valley. The light was dropping fast and I used some creative lighting to make the best
of the situation.

Wedding photos

These are some shots of a wedding that I shot in September 2009. The location was beautiful with autumn leaves and a stream on the property.
