*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Lake Scugog Sunset #2
Melissa wasn't too crazy about this one. I will post one where everything IS in focus.
But I thought the shallow depth of field looked kind of cool.

X Marks The Spot

Funny little story. Here I am at Queen and Carlaw. I look up and think, "hmmm might be a cool pic" The next day i was show Melissa my pics, and she laughed when she saw this one. She was at the opposite end of town at work, outside on a break, looked up and saw the same vapour trails and thought, "hmm might be a cool pic"

My first Caribana

«« prev | next »»

My fist visit to Caribana

Living so close to the parade route, why not go down and check it out? So while Melissa was stuck in Caribana traffic going to work, I grabbed my camera and headed down to the lakeshore.

Nous Sommes Famille

«« prev | next »»
Amelie, Sebastien & Josienne were at our engagement party and asked me to get a picture of the three of them. They are such a happy trio. I couldn't resist shooting them as they got ready for the actual 'pose'. These four shots below are shot all in a row. I like how the series captures a moment between siblings. -shot by Ryan





Merci, C'était mon plaisir

Aerial view of cottage



A couple that went up in the plane with us had the pilot fly over their cottage, so I snapped a few shots for them. It turns out, those shot were a couple of the better ones we took.

Red Chair




Ok need some photoshop help here. This is posted straight out of the camera jpg. I can import the RAW, and manipulate it, but I can't "Save As" a jpg. When I take the same manipulated RAW file and do "save for web" all of the reds desaturate and go green? Help!
-shot by Ryan
(Oh and that is it for a few days. We are on vacation and will be back with a ton of pics in a few days)
--UPDATE June 24 2006--
Ok I figured out my problem. I had to convert the colour space in photoshop before saving a jpeg. So here is the way I intended it to look.
