It’s just hard to argue with good light. Sometimes, when it comes together, it can just make places sing…

Twilight, or blue hour, is certainly one of those times when photographing architectural works…One exposure, that’s all you need…

Last week, I showed you some of the quick snapshots I made while teaching a private workshop recently. As I hinted then, Stephane generously agreed to allow me to showcase his images from the two outings…Stephane wanted to work on developing his compositional skills and the famous “eye” (or learn how to see in human speak). We agreed to do it in two seemingly distinct (yet not that different) settings: nature and the city. Part of me really wonders if he really needed me at all…he seemed to be doing just fine on his own. I think I’ll just let his photos do the talking…

In a rare cross-posting event, I’d just like to send you over to doublespace today, where we talk about a project that is really dear to our heart: you see, the good folks at Propeller Dance have this show coming up in Ottawa, that you really can’t miss! Check it out!

I had the pleasure to host Stephane, who drove in from Montreal to take a private, custom-tailored workshop over the week-end. As per Stephane’s wishes, the workshop was a bit of a “surf and turf”: a bit of nature, a bit of urban photography. The weather wasn’t particularly pleasant, with a cold northern wind blowing pretty much along, but Stephane was a good sport and soldiered on for a unique experience. It was for me the occasion to re-visit some familiar friends, for him, the opportunity to discover a new area with a different set of eyes (not as creepy as it may sound ).

Here are some of the images I made while showing him these places. I will be posting some of his soon (provided he wants to ).

I don’t usually do this, but I thought this was an opportunity that was too hard to pass up.
