Here we are in the second half of July, already! Summer is flying by! Before I head on vacation, I want to share a few submissions with you, our lovely blog readers!
Stephanie Schan, of ON, took this photo, bouncing her external flash off the ceiling:
Taken with Canon Rebel XT, using a Vivitar 285HV external flash, at f/2.8, 1/200 sec., ISO 200
See how the bounced flash provides a softer light and diffuses any harsh shadows that may have occurred from using a powerful flash indoors? Thanks for sharing, Stephanie!
Kim Gowdy, of AB, took this photo of her friend (and my fellow Canadian Scrapbooker teammate!), Connie Nichol, with her two adorable boys:
Taken with Canon Rebel XSi at f/2.8, 1/200 sec., ISO 100
Kim used her flash to fill in shadows and brighten her subjects’ faces. Love this pic – and OMG, Connie – your boys are getting big!
For the rest of you who are thinking about submitting, please do!! I will be away for the rest of the month, so please don’t worry if your photo is not posted until the end of the month, or later – I will try to remember to respond to each submission so you can rest assured that I have received it. I will post all of the submission goodness upon my return!
Remember that our deadline is extended until midnight on August 2nd, 2010!
Cheers!
Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.
