New BLOG!

Ok, so, I'm guilty of not posting in like, FOREVER!  But, I have an excuse.... I moved and didn't have internet service at the new place, so something had to suffer... blogging.  The good news is that I have a new blog, which I'm hosting on my own website.  It's a standard WordPress blog which seems to work fine (for now) even with my limited internet/web authoring ability.  This blog will probably stay active until Google gets tired of hosting it, then it'll be all on my new one.  Please stop by, visit and leave me a comment.

Radio Poppers Part 2

Tonight, I sat down, unpacked my Radio Poppers and set them up.  They come configured for Canon, but since I shoot Nikon, there was one setting I needed to change.  From then on, they worked like a charm!  These things are really COOL!  Now, I can hide a flash anywhere and it still works!  On full TTL!  Their arrival and set-up is none too soon, either, since I have a wedding to shoot in Gaspe next weekend.  I'm really looking forward to the trip, although all these trips to Quebec are making me more of a "destination" wedding photographer than a regular photographer.  That's still kinda neat, though.  Watch for some sample pics in the upcoming future.

Radio Poppers

RADIO POPPERS are HERE!!  Muahahahahaha!!!!!!

Seriously, the Radio Popper flash controllers I ordered the other day arrived, and quite speedily too.  If you haven't heard of them, they are small units you add to your on-camera and off-camera flashes which convert the visible-light TTL control signal to a radio signal, then back again.  Sounds kinda geeky (my middle name) but it allows you to skip worrying about having you off-camera flash "see" the flash on  your camera so it can get its control signal.  This allows you to do things like hide a flash in the roof of a gazebo, or put it behind someone to back-light them or put it inside a box or cupboard and have the light shining out, the list goes on and on.  C'est tres cool!  I'll post a few pics once I get time to start playing with them.

Website down

Just a note to let everyone know my website is down.  I'm checking on it, but I think the hosting company is doing maintenance or something.  I'll post again as soon as it's back up.

0900 AM  The site's back up.  This is hosted on the West coast, so I think there was just some overnight maintenance.

CANADA DAY!!



Today is Canada Day!  This is a day set aside for parades (which started in my hometown, by the way) and celebration of all things Canadian.  To add an East Coast twist, I think I'll have King Cole tea with my Poutine for supper!

Ed Goodfellow

I had the opportunity to speak with the "other" Ed Goodfellow this afternoon.  He's a very accomplished photographer in Windsor, Ontario, and a great guy as well (must be the name).  Anyway, I'm definitely going to buy him lunch or something next time I'm in his area.  Look him up here
