Sunrise Chicks






Karen McKinnon caught on film for once! Nestled in amongst the flowers I caught her in a brief moment of stillness:)


Just got back from a 6:30 am 'Chicks' shoot down at Goose Spit Park. This is by far my favorite time of day to shoot as the early morning sunlight highlights everything with a golden hue. Karen called all past Chicks together for a bonus session this morning and we spent a couple of hours playing with our cameras and trying out new things. I was particularly interested in shots with movement and grilled Karen for ideas and techniques.


Classic Comox Valley Glacier shot. BUT...notice the brutal new clearcut in the foreground. Boomer (local photographer for Valley promotions) must just hate that.




Grasses kissed by morning sunlight. These are my favorite shots to take...zoomed in with tonnes of detail (morning horizontal light is perfect for that).




I think I might puke from spinning after looking through 20 shots like this! This one is super cool though- I like how the centre is still and the rest of your world is just spinning like mad. How did I do this you ask? You'll have to join Chicks Who Click in 2009 to find out!



Cheers,
