Smile!... but don't look at the camera

This past weekend me and my best old pal took a photography courses so we could stop being basic and start learning about these very expensive cameras we have purchased. GTA Photography in Toronto was a great experience. I love the "Field Trip" we got to take aka walk around the city and try and take pictures on something other then the automatic setting. The course was a Saturday Sunday class. I wish we had done that both days but I understand the technical stuff is important too...

Topics we covered.

• Aperture
• Shutter Speed
• ISO

Exposure Meter

As you can see I am still working on my tendency to over expose

Goal: Make the back ground clear and the object close to you, in this case the fence, blurry

My favorite model

Here are a couple more

Being in Toronto allows us to see our other amigo, Shauna! We stuffed our very hungry faces at La Carnita and went home and crashed in front of How to be Single (only 52% on Rotten Tomatoes but 100% to us).

Bye for Now!

Birthday Boy

Never to old for a birthday party right!? It was Jordan's Birthday, Taylor's Boyfriend, and we all came together for the surprise. Taylor baked some delicious treats, including mini cheesecakes, can we just say, “YUMMMM”. Although most of us can handle our sangria the birthday boy was off to bed before the party was even over.  Surprise parties are the best despite being a lot of work for the person planning it. Taylor’s backyard is the perfect setting for many summertime hangouts.

Happiness is

I do not enjoy taking pictures at night most them turned out like the ones below. Taylor and I want to take a photography course but they are so expensive! We are hoping to find someone who loves taking pictures so we can make the lesson more of a hang out and learn a little more about our cameras. 

Happy Birthday little J.
