This is like a Wednesday for gainfully employed folks, the pinnacle of the week, the highest peak of the journey over the hill. Anyway, for this one I have posted a Photomerge Panorama taken by the small lake, Lac Lauzon in Mont-Tremblant National Park. It is not always this desolate. On the contrary, the lake is a popular day use …
Nature Photo Challenge 3
On the Third Day of the #NaturePhotoChallenge I posted a panorama image of Lac Monroe. the series of images used to build this panorama was taken one fall 2016 late morning. The lighting was changing pretty quickly, and looking at individual images I was wondering if they would be blended well. Each one was lit slightly different from the next …

Burj Khalifa Vertical Photomerge
Burj Khalifa is probably the most frequently photographed object in Dubai, UAE. Trying to catch up with the pack, I decided to try vertical Photomerge. I used Canon 5D2 with Canon EF40 mm f/2.8 STM in manual mode, fully open, shutter 1/10. I have practiced my pan few times, and then performed eight exposures starting from the ground going …
Nature Photo Challenge
In the recent attempt of Social Network users to make the nature photography viral I was challenged by one of my friends. Naturally (pun!) I have accepted the challenge. And accepting it I have decided to introduce a series of Photomerge Panoramas. From technical point of view the Panorama is a number of images taken deliberately (or randomly) to make …

The lighting included two Lowel softboxes for the foreground and a dimmed down Lowel Pro on a tall stand for a back light. In the bottom left you see another Lowel …
DIY Slider
What looks like a combination of the mover’s cart and the sewage pipes is in fact a working tool of the cameraman. It’s a portable tripod slider allowing for smooth tracking of the camera on the set. On the set of the Baseline Production doing the three camera interview for the private client.
Plane Spotting with Canon G1 X
I have already told you what Canon G1 X is not: it is not a macro camera; it is not a camera for taking shots of fast moving objects (i. e. children); it is not a pocket size point-and-shoot camera unless you have huge pockets. But as some are saying it is a great camera for landscape photography. I can’t see why …
1950 Packard Eight
This beautiful bird was sitting on the top of the hood of another beauty in its own. This is a 1950 Packard Eight, a show car presented last week at the Racetracks Car Show. I have had two cameras with me that day – Canon G1 X for generic and wide shots and Canon 5D2 with Canon 100 mm 2.8 …
Working atop the Skyjack Lift
On March 10, 2015 the body of the fallen soldier Sgt. Andrew Joseph Droin was repatriated to Canada. Although this time it was a full Canadian military funeral, the family preferred to keep media away. Therefore all of us were kept behind the fence during arrival. Media kept behind the fence at the CFB Trenton during Sgt. Andrew Joseph Droin’s body …
