That is actually a really good idea. I didn't even think about bouncing. Which is weird as when I use on camera flash all I do is bounce.

Thanks. Good tip.

Looking good, seems you are getting better with the portraits.

Day 26 / 365 - December 26th, 2012

Here is a quick shot of the McGill ghetto. I decided that I suck at landscapes. I have a a hard time visualizing the shot.

Haley is totally out of control.

A fun shot while out sledding with my daughters. Taken with a 70-200.

Here is the aftermath shot. (not part of the project)

So I have been told numerous times that my B&W images do not have enough contrast. Here is an attempt at adding in some. Although, I think I could have gone a bit further, but it felt like I was simply darkening the image.

Looking good. I like the PP on the first one, but it does not make it look like a ghetto, the PP makes it look more clean and vibrant.
Love the background blur on the sledding one, makes here look really fast.
The shot of your wife is nice, sharp eyes, nice even lighting, and good bokeh.
With the BW I think it was a good idea to not add anymore contrast. More would probably be too much.

Thanks Realist!

Some more updates.

Day 30 / 365 - December 20th - 2012

Another attempt at a Montreal night shot. Still not feeling my landscapes.

Day 31 / 365 - December 31st, 2012

Another attempt at a low key shot. Much better this time.

Day 32 / 365 - January 1st, 2013

Happy New Year!

Taken while on vacation in Florida. I decided to travel light and only brought my 50mm with me. Bad decision. I have missed some very good shots. Live and learn.

Took this while waiting for the sun to rise. The real landscape shot will come shortly.

Cool shots, number one is really cool with the blue light.
