I received an email from Stephanie Whitson saying she wanted to get her dad a present. Her parents have their family dog, Kacee, a beautiful Britney Spaniel. So we decided to take mom, dad & Kacee to the park and see what happens. Well folks, here’s what we ended up with. An awesome family with a super dog.

On the rocks
Got home in time to enjoy some day light. The creek was almost completely frozen over except for a few spots where some fast water was.
Each time I had to move the ring around, I’d move my camera back to the shore, then put it back on the ice and recompose the shot. Got myself a little wet kneeling down on the ice, but didn’t (knock on wood) get anything soaked.
I think I might need to get a neutral density filter. I never thought I’d need one, but I shot at 100 ISO, and had the aperture at f/40.0, just to try and get a slow shutter speed.

Ring shot – Guest book
Another idea for a ring shot tonight. Bounced my flash off a gold piece of bristle board to enhance the color.

A flower for family day
Spent the day with my family, then the afternoon took everyone over to my parents place. My mom has had this plant since Christmas. It wasn’t suppose to last more than a few weeks.

Rambo Creek
Got sick and tired of shooting inside, so I took a little walk while the kids were having their nap. Found this awesome looking ice pattern near a dip in the creek.

My first Photobook.
Just received my first Photobook from Photobook Canada www.photobookcanada.com. I am very impressed so far. The quality is very good and the pictures turned out awesome. Even the ones that I didn’t fix up too much (or at all) in Photoshop.
They have an awesome deal going on right now, where I received a second photobook for free. The printing was done within 7 days and they shipped via Canada Post. The packaging that they arrived in was good as well, the books were not damaged at all. I highly recommend checking them out for your next printing needs. The software is also very easy to use and you can make some pretty amazing designs on your own. I’m not a graphic designer, but the tools they give allow you to really do anything you want!
