The more time I spend at Vancouver Photo Workshops, the more I appreciate the emphasis they place on shooting. Don't get me wrong, I find the level of instruction and the talent level of the instructors at Langara College to be uniformly superb. But the classes are filled with too many dilettantes and there is simply not enough time spent in the studio doing what it takes to become a better photographer, which is shoot, shoot and shoot. And then shoot some more.
I wasn't wildly pleased with the results from last Monday's Editorial Shoot. Our model Marissa -- Miss Molotov -- was fabulous, but I've already shot her breathing fire on the beach. The back alley just didn't quite cut the mustard. And the viewfinder on my D3s was giving me difficulty by not seeming to focus perfectly. Note: I took the D3s into Nikon in Richmond the very next morning, and had it fixed within the week, all under warranty. I can not speak highly enough about the Nikon staff in Richmond.
Nikon D3s and Nikon D700. Shot with the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom lenses.
