#32 Tour de France in moving pictures

Posted on by

I just saw an IMAX film – Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France.

I do appreciate a little cycling, competition and good photography whether
moving or still shots. And IMAX is pretty amazing – their technology and final product is usually spectacular! The science part of the film (about the nervous system) was interesting but I was there for the cycling spectacular!

We were not disappointed! The effects and camera capabilities were pretty fun!

I enjoy this kind of film for obvious reasons. But exciting visual media also feeds my creative brain and helps my work! These photos (available at ChelseaGallery.ca) are not Tour de France but they do benefit from an exciting night at the movies! ChelseaGallery.ca Mountain Biker

#30 New pictures

One of my agencies has just uploaded some new imagery. AGE Fotostock in Spain licenses my work around the world. They do not sell photos – they sell “rights” to use photos for specific purposes. This is known as “licensing” the imagery. This industry is called “stock photography.”

See one of the images recently posted:

My Mum had had foot surgery and kindly agreed to model from her wheelchair. I took a dual role as photographer and model – that’s me in the red t-shirt multi tasking. The camera was attached to the wheelchair which gave the opportunity for some funky motion!

Stock photography is, in some ways, my favourite type of work and the initial reason I got into photography as a career! My work is now quite diverse but stock comprises a good chunk of my photo life.

One of my students from the Hockey Photo Workshop contributes to an Ottawa 67s blog. V is a big hockey fan and wanted to learn a little more about the photography end of things! Have a look at her blog posting and photos from the game we shot!

Students from my event photo workshop were able to borrow gear from Headshots Rentals Ottawa location – some students walked out with thousands of dollars of pro-level gear to try for the afternoon. Thanks Headshots!

Stay tuned for the summer event photography workshop!
