Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament 2010

June 4-6 Tracey and I traveled up to Brantford for this year’s annual Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament. As fans of filmmaker Kevin Smith, we made the trip and had an amazing time last year. Last year I took a bunch of pictures of the event and was invited to take more this year by Ming, the View Askew web guru and Hockey event organizer.

This year really was a step up. I was given access to take photos from the bench and from within the rink after the game. Having that close proximity to the players allowed me to get some great shots.

Spending the weekend down in Brantford also gave us the opportunity to meet a lot of the players on the other View Askew teams.

Aside from taking pics, I also designed an iPhone app for the tournament that featured all of the View Askew teams. I will do a post on the app in the next few days.

I just wanted to drop a huge thanks to Ming Chen he really is the MVP of the View Askew organization.

London Photowalk #7 :: Fanshawe Pioneer Village

IMG_0062

This past Saturday I attended the 7th London Photowalk at Fanshawe Pioneer village.  This was my first photowalk with the Canon 7D.  While I have become very familiar with the camera as a video DSLR, it is radically different than the Canon T1i that I was shooting with prior. I am still learning where everything is on the camera.  I like to shoot in manual mode, and all of the buttons that were on the t1i have are not even close to where they are on the 7D.

I shot around 200 pictures, and I was satisfied with around 20 of them.  Old architecture isn’t really my thing, so drawing inspiration from old historic buildings was challenging.

My photos from today are in this set on Flickr.

During the walk, I did shoot some video and have compiled it here.  I was curious on capturing natural motion and a wide colour palate in 1080 24p.
