Distillery Shooting

Filed under: Friends,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 10:20 pm

As promised yesterday, here’s another blog post.

I did some shooting down in the Distillery District recently, so thought I would share a few images. Please let me know if you’d like to do a family/couple/pet photography session here, I think it would be a fabulous location!

For a change we tried shooting in the harsh sunlight to see how it would turn out, we then used this same location later in the day as well:

What a difference a few hours makes in the lighting! These images, taken later in the day, have a much softer quality both in the light and the colour.

To the Distillery District and the Beach

Filed under: Children,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 12:10 pm

Went down to the Distillery District yesterday with a friend and my son, captured this first shot right at the beginning:

The next five shots were taken in a cool store that has old antique toy vehicles. I was playing with extremely shallow depth of field, which worked well with the low light levels in the store, and is fun to boot! 🙂

Then we stopped by Balzac’s Coffee for hot chocolate and tea:

Noah decided to drink his hot chocolate with a straw:

After our refreshments we headed down to the beach:

Looking for cool stones to add to his rock collection:

Caught this seagull at the edge of the water:

Noah running from the cold water:

And then we started to dig:

Which takes lots of concentration! lol

At the end he buried his feet in an attempt to dry them…not sure that worked out very well!

Hope everyone else had a great Sunday as well!

Softball Night

Filed under: Animals,Children,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 8:52 pm

Softball has started, but we’re still waiting for a nice warm evening for it! Maybe next week….

Noah, loving how he’s paying attention to the game! lol

Noah’s friend Harry, after the game, love that red hair!

On the way home I caught this shoot of a neighbour’s flowers. The darker section through the shot is the gate, but I kind of like it, adds a bit of an abstract element to the image.
