Spring Tease

I spent an afternoon at my mother-in-law's place the other day and had some fun getting in close with all the flowers that are blooming around her house. She really does seem to have a green thumb when it comes to plants, and boy did it heighten my desire for spring to come.

Aviation Museum

I had a chance to take some of my Photo 2 students to the Aviation Museum in town the other day and we had a great time photographing the old planes in the hanger. Towards the end I had a chance to pull out my own camera to see what I could come up with. I took inspiration from the assignment that I had given the students, as well as from a good friend and great photographer, Jonah O'Neil. For the most part I shoot with a pretty wide angle lens when I come here, so I was excited to try something new. My goal was to centre around selective focus, some punchy colour and a little more of an abstract look. So, I donned my 100mm macro lens, and this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Thank You

Thank You!

Well, the weekend is over and weʼre back into our regular routines. We just want to extend a BIG thank you to all our friends and family who came out to our first Photo Exhibit and sale this past Friday and Saturday evening!

Your support and encouragement meant a lot to us and we appreciated all your comments and questions regarding our selection of images. We apologize if we were not able to spend as much time with everyone as we would have liked; the crowds were great!

A special thanks to the staff at PrairieView School of Photography for allowing us to hold our show in their facilities. It seemed like the right place, since we both graduated from the Diploma Course at PV in the past few years. It was like an “old home week” party, only with all our friends and family in attendance.

We have had a number of people ask us about printing some of the images that were shown on the slide show during the evening. Some of you patiently sat through the whole show twice, waiting for your favourite image to re-appear. In case you didnʼt get a chance to see your favourite for the second time, we have included a link to a Picasa album which shows all the images that were displayed at the show.

When you click the link it will direct you to the Picasa Album showing the thumbnails of all the images at the show. When you select one of the images you will find "Photo Information" at the right hand side of the screen. There is a small blue arrow beside this that will drop down information about the photo, including the file name (eg. ATIS-1.jpeg). Please use this name to order any image that you are interested in purchasing.

As a result, for those interested, we have decided to extend our show pricing for another week, to allow an opportunity to look through all the photographs more leisurely. Please e-mail us if you require more information - chrisford.photographics@gmail.com or d.m.menheer@shaw.ca

Thanks again for coming out. It was a lot of fun!
