We had a great time being part of Greg and Samantha’s Wedding. The Wedding was held at the picturesque Sarnia Golf and Country Club, what a great venue. The staff of Gord Evans Photography had a bit of a contest to see who could get the most “air” on the beach shot, the winning photo is above. Sam biggest challenge now is deciding which of the 1500 photos that she wants included in her package.

Professional Photography with a Purpose

We get asked a lot why we leave so much white space around a subject. Well the best way to describe why is to demonstrate the reason pictorially. We will start with a simple photograph from a wedding.

We will now show the different ways that we could crop that photo to develop a photograph with a purpose. Follow the link to discover the "magic of cropping" The pictures will have the following prefixes:11"x 14"-"f", 8"x 10"-"a', 5"x 7"-"b", 8"x 12" or 4"x 6"-"e" and you can find the complete sample from our crop session at: http://gordevansphotography.com/blog2/crop/

Now I can show you what Gord Evans sees as he takes the photo,

Colourized,Colourized and Framed,

Framed for effect, Framed with a Portrait Insert

We do enjoy photography!

Amanda & Shawn

We completed some engagement photos for Amanda and Shawn last Sunday with the worst possible sun, the sun was so bad Shawn could barely keep his eyes open ;) . They included their son Braden and we got some great shots.
We are looking forward to their upcoming wedding it is going to be our biggest wedding party of the year, I think Amanda told us it was nine on both sides.

Purple Loosestife - Depth of Field

We had an opportunity to photograph some "Purple Loosestife"during our travels. Pretty flowers, although they tell me they are bad for the environment.

They do give us an opportunity to demonstrate a perfect Depth of Field Photograph. If you notice the flowers in the forefront are perfectly in focus will the flowers from the centre point of the photograph on, are slightly less in focus until they are totally blurry or out of focus. This is only obtainable in a close up shot with a SLR (single lens reflex) camera that has a lens that is an F2.8 or smaller. You may have heard the term quick lens or fast lens, now you know, one the effects that a lower F-Stop can bring. Unfortunately for photographers the lower the F-Stop the more expensive the lens; We currently have all of our lens better than a F2.8.

In future Blogs, we will demonstrate other advantages of having quick lens- Low light, No flash Photography.
