Welcome to the new site! Or rather, the new look-and-feel of the same site! Due to some accidental work behind-the-scenes, we were forced to upgrade the server software to the latest and greatest versions.
This also marks the end of the WordPress-based online store. We are moving the functionality over to our Gallery online store, so you will still be able to access and shop online for our photos and videos with the same credentials that you had previously.
We're working hard to get the rest of the site working again and even adding a few new features as we go.. Thanks for your patience!
The Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk was held on July 24th, 2010. This is a giant event where photographers take to the streets of their locale and walk around taking pictures. This year saw 1,111 photo walks and 33,483 participants from all over the world.
I didn't know about this event until a co-worker mentioned it to me. Unfortunately, the Calgary/Inglewood photo walk that he was going to was already full, but I found that there was plenty of room in the Calgary/Downtown photo walk, so I signed up.

Gizmodo's photo challenge this week was to capture a water drop like you see in those neat high-speed photography shots. They supplied a few links to some tutorials for capturing these images yourself and I must admit, I was somewhat skeptical of the possibility.
Not one to give up without trying, I set things up based on this tutorial at ePHOTOzine and experimented from there. I ended up shooting on Manual at 1/160 and f/22 with my flash at 1/64.
After much trial and error (and around 400 shots), I ended up with a few I was happy with. Here is the one I submitted:
The rest of the "good" ones can be found in our gallery site. Enjoy!
