Final August Submissions

I have three final submissions for our August tutorial to share with you!

Karen Aldrin, of the UK, sent me this adorable photo of one of her friend’s 3-day-old granddaughter:

Taken with Canon EOS 400D at f/6.3, 1/100 sec., ISO 400

Isn’t she beautiful?  Thank you for sharing, Karen!

This lovely image came from Serena Gelaman, of AB:

Taken with Canon Rebel T2i at f/4, 1/500 sec., ISO 800

Good job on exposing the vases, with the backlighting from the window - thanks for your submission!

Our final submission comes from Michelle Kuijer, of ON.  She writes, “I used a tripod and remote so that I would not get camera shake.  This photo was taken at Disney on Friday the 13th during the Electrical Lights Parade.”

Taken with Canon Rebel XS at f/4.5, 1/8 sec., ISO 400

Looks magical!  Thanks for your submission!

I will be posting a winner early tomorrow morning - check back for the announcement and then get ready to HOP with our Canadian Scrapbooker team!  Lots of yummy prizes to be won so be sure to check it out – and pass the word along, please!

Cheers,

Aug 31

Conni Frankl, of SK, sent me this picture of her gorgeous daughter taken indoors with the use of a white reflector:

Hip Hop submission

Fleur Smith, of BC, sent me this great shot of her son at his hip hop dance class:

Taken with Canon PowerShot SX210 IS at f/4.5, 1/101 sec., ISO 800

Fleur used the backlighting from the open door for highlight and the door itself to frame her subject.  Well done, Fleur!

Tomorrow, I’ll share another submission for one of our readers – there’s still time for you to send me yours!

Cheers,

Aug 19

Thanks to Stephanie Schan, of ON, for sending us this adorable photo of her cat, Squirt:

Taken with Canon Rebel XT at f/3.2, 1/15 sec., ISO 200

Look at those green eyes!  Thanks for your submission, Stephanie.

Food! Glorious Food!

Today’s submission is from Lee-Anne Thorton, of AB:

Taken with Canon EOS 30D at f/6.3, 1/25 ISO 320

Doesn’t that just tickle your tastebuds?  Thanks for sharing, Lee-Anne… and for making me crave French Toast now! :)

And to the rest of our readers, there’s still plenty of time for YOU to submit your photos for our August assignment so get out there and take your camera off of the Auto setting… this is the time to practice!  You have until August 31st – use our submission form and send me your photos for a chance to win an SEI prize pack!

Cheers!

More food!

Mmmm, I love summer!  Full of fresh fruits and veggies – which are much easier to photograph than a 10 year old, if you want my opinion! :)

I received this submission from Lisanne Côté, of QC, of some delicious looking blackberries:

Taken with Canon Rebel XT at f/5.6, 1/40 sec., ISO 200

I can almost taste them!  Thanks for sharing, Lisanne!

Tomorrow I’ll share another image from Lee-Anne Thorton, of AB – it will whet your appetite for summer berries!

Cheers,

Aug 13

Yummy Submission

Lee-Anne Thorton, of AB, left this delicious photo in my inbox:

Taken with Canon EOS 30D at f/10, 1/10 sec., ISO 200

Thanks, Lee-Anne – I think I’m going to have to make waffles for my daughter’s birthday breakfast today!

How about the rest of you?  Any natural lighting photos to share?

Cheers!

A Canadian Scrapbooker Feature – by Sue Sykes

  • About Sue

    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.



    Sue has been married to her best friend, Gary, for over 10 years and has two children, Connor and Aili. She considers herself very fortunate to be so lucky to work not only for herself, but also to be involved with Canadian Scrapbooker - both of which combine her passion for scrapbooking and writing!
