That face! (part 2)

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Photography, macro, misc

Here is what happened that night. Toward the end of the meal, I looked at that empty bottle of coke thinking there must be a shot to made here. So I drew a face on a finger, put the “point & shoot” in macro mode and started playing with the camera.

Exposure : 1/200

Suddenly, after I put that finger inside the bottle to take some shots, the company phone went off.

I didn’t wanted to lose the call and I had other shots to take with the bottle, so I went on tho answered the call with as I was.

For some obscure reasons, my son thought that was funny…

That face! (part 1)

I won’t have my D90 before another week at least. Patience is in order.

In the mean time I continue to use the Old Point & Shoots camera, the Canon SD870 IS in particular, there are some good sides to it.

The macro mode is so easy to use or are some would say, so easy to lose a bit of your sanity with it.

Snooping around…

This shot was taken in the streets of Valleyfield. A car was passing by and this cute little fellah was admiring the landscape.

I could not resist…

Gee, I love the downtown Montreal stores “vitrines” and their mannequins. I could spend hours to shoot images, endless possibilities…

Skies of Pointe-des-Cascades.

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Fishing, Landscape, Photography

While ice fishing at Pointe-des-Cascades, the skies in this late afternoon became very surreal. Clouds appeared like waves on the ocean…

The plane is preparing to land to Pierre-Elliott Trudeau airport (YUL) roughly 10 kilometers ahead.

Bond, my name is “Junior Bond”

Bonjour !

Today’s images are coming from the reserve: at least 2 more weeks before the return of my D90.

I would like to introduce you to Jérémy, Jessiane’s older brother.

Jérémy is really at ease in front of the camera. Sooooo nice to have shootings like this.

Picture taken while at a Baton Rouge restaurant to celebrate Val’s 18th birthday. The place is dark, there is some kind of a small lantern with a yellow glow.

Val put her chin on the table, we took a couple of shots. Done.

Camera: Canon PowerShot SD870.

The face!

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Photography, misc

Still no news for my D90, in the mean time here a mannequin head taken downtown Montreal, between 2 business appointments.

I must admit the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS form factor is nice to carry around. I put it in my pocket and forget about it.

Gee, it is hard to work with the JPG format! So little latitude for post processing.

Anyway, what a “spooky” face this is…

I’ve got the music in me…

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Photography, Self, familly & Friends

OK, My Nikon D90 is gone for the next 3-4 weeks. It hurts, at the same time I take it as a challenge.

If the camera does not make the photograph, well, I am up to the task. Today’s picture was taken with an old retired “point and shoot” camera, with a whooping 5 megapixels! Yahoo. In JPG format (snif, I am hooked on RAW format).

I am not that desperate, still have a good reserve of pictures, nevertheless I will continue adding up new images taken with the old cameras.

Of course, production will suffer, in the mean time I will play more music with my faithful Bass guitar, hey it is like that: “I’ve got the music in me”.

** Careful playing that song, it is very addictive…

Merci Kiki Dee Band!
