Olympic Torch

 

I attended the Olympic Torch Relay celebration on Dec 30 in Huntsville,Ontario. I do not usually get too excited about events like this, however I was soon taken back in time to the days of 1967 and the Canadian Centennial celebrations and Expo 67 both were federal events. It was simply amazing and inspiring or just plain fun and took away the troubles of the day.

I was there to film for TVCogeco as a volunteer and to get as many photos and video for myself. The Cogeco broadcast went great and so did my personal shooting. Below are images of the day. 

Please post your comments.

Olympic Torch Relay Run

I am a Canadian and Canada is hosting the 2010 winter Olympics.Tomorrow the torch run is passing through our town.(Huntsville,Ontario) I am quite excited as are many others. Watching the news and seeing the amount of people who are coming out to see this event I am expecting an amazing turnout.

I will be working with TV Cogeco running a camera or some other capacity to produce a local news broadcast for the event. I will also be taking video and photos for my own purposes. It is going to be cold and fun.

January Auto Tint Sale !

Another year has passed and it is time again for our annual January tint sale. All year long people are wanting a deal on tinting. Well people ..now is the time. Since January is always a slow month we can offer a big discount for people who like deals!!

Cogeco

About a year ago, I decided to try volunteering with TV Cogeco. I am glad I did. I have learned alot about the cameras, equipment and what is involved with producing a news clip to a live council meeting.

There is more to it than it seems. Running cables for 3 cameras with audio,video and power to the truck. running the cameras making sure you are in focus and the white balance and audio levels are all correct. In the truck there is the production happening. Audio levels, scene mixing, adding text and visual info.

It is alot of fun and a bit of a challenge. It has helped me get out and meet more people, see town events and news I would not otherwise have known even existed. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested to try it out.

Back from Sturgis S.D.

It was a long trip. both in miles and time. 18 days and 8000km. Time for a rest! I did capture many good shots. Saw some amazing landscapes and relaxed by the fire at Camp David in the Black Hills.

My plans for setting up a mobile photo studio and take bike and biker portraits where thwarted by US Customs. They did not like the Idea of me working in the US without the proper paperwork. Oh well, I rather enjoyed not working. It was hot and there was lots to do.
