I just came back from an impromptu photoshoot with claudia hung, Dave and Chan-ra. We all met at Dundas Square to shoot 2 smokin hot models :P
The weather was great in the beginning but got cold and dark faster than I thought it would. It was great to see how these shoots go. The models were very easy to work with and had great chemistry. ;p All in all i had a great time. Just BEING there was an experience.
some things i learned:
- When i was shooting the couple walking towards me I had a hard to focusing on them and adjusting the frame the way I wanted because I always set the point of focus to the center of the frame. There are 2 solutions. Either adjust the point of focus manually to the left or right or just leave the point of focus as it is (center focus) and crop it afterwards on my laptop. Cropping it later may be better because I'll have more options in the end.
- I need a faster zoom lens :P the debate goes on...sigma or canon...sigma or canon....
- Taking good pictures takes practice. The more I shoot the better I'll get. It's about intuition...knowing where to stand, knowing which angles work.
photos to follow soon!

can't wait to see what you captured! and you're right, it is all about intuition ontop of the basic necessary skills and experience is key ... :)
i wish i had more time to play around with my camera. *sigh*
Hey I'm so happy that you got something, anything, out of today. I don't know if it's about intuition as it is anticipation! This, of course, comes with experience which you're getting filled with! Wooooo!
That night shot is sweet...
I wish we had time to do some night shooting. It poses a whole new world of technical problems :D hehe
Talk soon,
Claud
