A photo for Canon’s internal photo contest???

September 14, 2010

The theme is shapes. I doubt that I’m going to submit this one though. My boyfriend’s not a fan. He usually likes all my photos, so if there’s one that he doesn’t like, I really take it to heart. Or when he says “it’s alright”, it usually means that he doesn’t like it. This one got a whopping “it’s alright”. But what if Canon likes it? Anyway, I’ll take a few more. Deadline is October 1st, so we’ve got time.

My after work shoots are always super rushed because I’m always trying to catch the sun before it’s gone for the day. I get home at 6:20, change into sweat pants and a tee, run out for a shoot from 6:30 to 7:00pm and then the sun is no more. Ever notice how fast the sun sets between 6:30 and 7:00??? Really fast. You can literally see it slide lower and lower and lower until it goes underneath the earth. And during those 30 minutes, as it’s sliding down, you don’t get to shoot with the full sun for the full 30 minutes. Timing plays a part because it’s moving so fast that you have to be prepared for when it passes through clouds, goes behind trees, hides behind an apartment building, etc. Sometimes it goes behind 65 trees and by the time it’s done with the trees, it’s gone and you would’ve had a total of about… 5 minutes of sun time. But then comes winter, where the sun is gone way before you even get off work. That’s a story for another day.

Today marks my third month at Canon. My feet are wet. It’s good stuff.
