I'll cover all of my experiences from the point and shoot digital to SLR 35mm film camera.

I carry a Fuji X10 as a spare camera and a Sony a230 DSLR as my main. I carry 2 lenses for the Sony and one fun way to lug the second one around is to attach it to a Minolta 4500 film SLR.<br />
<br />
The Minolta is all plastic and lightweight so I figured as long as it can carry the second lens, why not give myself the opportunity to take some film shots as well. So here for your viewing pleasure are some shots taken at some protests here in Montreal this March and April. They were all taken on Fuji Acros 100.<br />

Otakuthon is a convention of cosplayers mostly interested in Japanese Anime but all are welcomed and the quality of the cosplaying is absolutely outstanding. Having been around sci fi conventions since the late 80's, it wasn't a stretch for me to get into costume and character to go around and shoot this great event. being one of the participants helps a lot.<br />
<br />
It was a fantastic opportunity to get acquainted with cosplayers. Cosplaying is a modern art form that requires its adepts to be good at sewing, prop making and acting to complete their character. I'll be back next year for sure. Apart from the photography, I had a great time with a bunch of great people.<br />

I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy mastering the basics of photography. I'm pretty good on the technical side of things and I've been busy at the more philosophical side of photography. I've also been studying older processes but that's for another post.<br />

I've been wanting to do the Montreal Zombie Walk for a while but this year was the first time I had a chance to attend. The fact that this event is high in colour, the low number of Police personnel and the total absence of the riot squad guaranteed a high number of pro and amateur photographers to cover the event. I had to find another angle to get different shots than everybody else.<br />

So I decided to join the walk as a Zombie myself. Not just slapping some make up on my face and walk around with my gear. I went all out with a full outfit, actually walked and growled like a bonafide living dead. I had a working film point and shoot around my neck and carried my Sony a230 in my hand during the walk. The DSLR was pulled up for a shot at the last minute while growling to people on the sidelines.<br />

Being inside the parade makes for some great shots as well. Especially when you are one of the zombies! People react differently, or lack any reaction, when you are one of them. People rarely pose the same compared when confronted by a gear laden photographer(My observation anyway). As a practitioner of candid street photography, this is gold for me.<br />

Back when it was built in 1843, it overlooked the homes of its Irish parishioners in Griffin town. Now hidden between towering skyscrapers, it is a treasure waiting to be explored and admired.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that it is still an active place of worship. Do not walk in there and blab away as if you were at Marineland, show respect and keep it down. It is also important to know that you cannot take photographs while services are being performed. Go outside and shoot the building and its surroundings while you wait.<br />
<br />
The Basilica was used in the movie "The Punisher" that came out in 2008.<br />

If Marylin Monroe was a car, this would be it. Only 39 were ever built and 33 are still confirmed to exist. This is one of 17 built as a right hand drive car. One recently sold for $25 million dollars.<br />

Now to put things in perspective, Top Gear had a 250 GTO on an episode of their show. However, Jeremy Clarkson explained to us that the BBC couldn't afford the insurance the run it on the Top Gear track. So there it sat looking pretty and not much more.<br />

Now a few weeks ago I show up at the Mont-Tremblant circuit for the Summit of Legends race week-end and here sits a 1962 250 GTO! What does Sandra McNeil do with a car worth anywhere between 9 and 25 million dollars? Race the tires off of it. This car is not pretty, it shows its age but that's ok, it's a RACE car. The GTO was flying on the track and I had a hard time snapping it. The pictures are missing one key element, the roaring sound of that 12 cylinder engine. What beautiful music.<br />

Nestled in the Lower Laurentians in the County of Gore was this little white church that was the last standing building of the long gone village of Shrewsbury. Built around 1856 by hand it was still intact when I visited the place back in 1990 with it's furniture, organ and the original bell. I remember that visit very well since it was in the Spring and we were attacked by countless bugs. When your car gets banged repeatedly by kamikaze bees and mosquitoes, it kind of stays burned in your mind.<br />

Fast forward a few weeks ago when a photog friend posted pictures of the little white church on his wall. I couldn't believe the state it was in. Vandals had trashed the place over the years and despite the concern and implication of local residents for its preservation, the church was just a shell of its former self.<br />

My new found passion for photography and my concern as an ex-resident of Gore called for documenting what remained. So off we went last Sunday after packing the car with photo gear. After fighting the crazy micro weather of Gore we ended up in front of the church. I pulled out the Graflex and shot it with photo paper and the rest was done with Sony a230 and Fuji X10. Thankfully the weather cleared and I was able to take some decent shots. I was planning to come back in the Spring for a more green setting.</div>

No more half-ass rigs with my digital camera. What a difference. I was scanning some of my 120 medium format film and started to blow them up a bit to see how good they came out and found this. A picture inside a picture, pretty cool. The negative was scanned at 2400 dpi and it was shot with a Yashica A on Fuji Acros 100 film.<br />

Turns out it is true. The building starts coming down on December 9th to make way for a new highway. I'm glad we got out there despite the cold as I don't think we'll get another chance to shoot there. If you are reading this before the 9th and never been, get a buddy and go before it's gone.<br />

Such is the case of these 3 items found in a Cap Cod antique shop this summer. They are glass 5X7 wet plates of a place and time unknown for now. I've posted the original scan and the retouched version after giving it a go in Gimp.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I'm guessing City Hall of some place. Branches tell the story of a windy day. This was probably around 25 ISO at best. Depth of field is very shallow and something happened in processing which I cannot figure out yet. UPDATE this is Lynn Massachusetts old city hall. According to some info the plate dates from anywhere between 1868 and 1883.</td></tr>

Feel free to do better and if you know these places and time, do let me know.<br />
<br />
Thanks for watching.<br />

Last evening I was setting out for a walk downtown with my buddy and realized that this would be a challenge.<br />
<br />
I didn't want to use a flash so I decided to use a Kodak 400TX film and push it to 800 ISO. What you do is load with 400 ISO, set the camera to 800 ISO and add 20% more time when processing the film later on. These would be shot in the fashion of Daido Moriyama. I've been wanting to do this for some time after <a href="http://takingpictures101.blogspot.ca/2013/01/the-daido-moriyama-experiment.html" target="_blank">doing it with a digital camera</a> and this was the perfect occasion.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm very happy with the result. 15 pictures from a roll of 24 came out to my liking. This was my first time shooting with this Ricoh 35ZF which I got for $5 at a thrift store. Not a bad buy.<br />

However, here's a great example of the possibilities using these simple cameras. My recent visit to Mount Washington was an eye opener. The better shots came from my Canon G12, not my DSLR when it came to landscapes. Mind you the G12 is a pretty advanced piece of kit Point and Shoot wise but it is still a fixed lens camera with a pretty wide angle. These same shots could have been taken with an even simpler camera.<br />

Yes it is possible to take great pictures with a point and shoot and I will show you how to in this series. You have decided to take your photography seriously but all you have right now is a point and shoot and no budget for a DSLR? No problem, shooting the crap out of a point and shoot will make you a better photographer anyway.<br />

Point and shoot cameras are often under estimated but they can pull off some great work when used properly. A brand new one will set you back $150 or you can go with a used one for even less. 3.2 mp and up is fine for 8X10 and try to stick with Canon or Nikon. You can also use whatever you have at hand right now but this article is not about phone "cameras".<br />

To prove my point, I'll be using my very worn Nikon S8100 in this article. I've had this camera for 3 years now and even though it's beaten up with dust behind the lens, it still pumps out some great pictures. It's always in my camera bag and I use a lot for street photography, the point and shoot's best use in my opinion.<br />

<br />
This chapter will concentrate on what you need to have and to know, so let's get started:<br />
<br />
1- Get a tripod. The only piece of gear you absolutely need to have. Don't need to get a big or expensive one. Remember, you have a small and light camera, basically anything will do.<br />
<br />
2- Put it in "P" mode. Program mode is found on most cameras of this type and it will be the setting used throughout this series. Forget the pre-set scenes modes, you won't learn anything.<br />
<br />
3- Find the flash control and turn it off. A flash is no good beyond 10 feet and we won't be using it for now anyway.<br />
<br />
4- Find the white balance setting, put it on AWB or Auto mode. We'll play with that a lot later.<br />
<br />
5- Find the timer and figure out how to make it work.<br />
<br />
6- Find the exposure control. Usually represented by a + and - sign side by side, play with it so you are sure it moves.<br />
<br />
7- Find the ISO setting control. ISO can go from 80 to 1600 or more depending on the camera, make sure it works.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that you have all this figured out, let me explain to you the basics of photography. Light is basically captured by a sensor in the camera and the amount of light that hits it determines in great part what your image will look like. 3 factors come in to play and this is the only hard part of photography you need to wrap your brain around, shutter speed, aperture and ISO.<br />
<br />
Shutter speed: the speed at which the shutter opens and closes to let the light in. Fast shutter speed = you can freeze movement, slow shutter speed = blurry movement.<br />
<br />
Aperture: Like the iris in your eyes, how big the opening is in the lens. The bigger the opening the more light comes in. However, the part of the picture that will be in focus is limited in distance. The smaller the opening, the more things you have in focus but you need a lot of light to do that.<br />
<br />
ISO: The sensitivity to light of your sensor. The higher the number, the more sensitive is is to light. However, a higher ISO leaves more "noise" or grain in your image.<br />
<br />
The combination of these 3 elements will determine the outcome of your image and this is the basic knowledge of all photography digital or from 150 years ago.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, your point and shoot takes care of the first 2 for you, which leaves us with the ISO to figure out and the exposure setting to do some fine tuning with.<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of ideal ISO settings:<br />
Bright sunny day, lots of available light: 100 ISO<br />
Sunny day but subject in the shadows, less light: 200 ISO<br />
Cloudy rainy day or evening, light is present but not as intense: 400 ISO<br />
Late evening ambient light with no sun: 800 ISO<br />
City streets at night: 1600 ISO<br />
<br />
Now go outside and shoot some pics and play with the ISO setting. Also, use the exposure setting and go from + to - to see the difference. This setting is very practical on very sunny days when the camera has a tendency to overexpose, making your images too bright. Bring it down to -0.7 and see what happens.<br />
<br />
That's it for now, the next chapter will be about composition.<br />
<br />
Remember, it's not the camera that makes the photographer, the same as a pen and paper doesn't make a writer.<br />
<br />

I uses 4X5 sheet film in film holders and if I keep my eyes open I might even find a medium format film or instant film back for it.<br />

Right now I have only 2 film holders, so only 4 shots. I have 2 more on the way but it still makes only an 8 shot camera for now and after that it becomes dead weight. I intend to use this beast for its original purpose, documenting events. This is not going to become a tripod queen. It will be used on a tripod as well for landscapes and long exposures but I want to tap into all that it has to offer. This thing can do it all from pinhole, portrait and action. It just takes longer to prepare and you don't have a thousand shots at hand.<br />

I figure this will make an even better photographer with the limited amount of shots and the needed set-up time. The after process is also tedious. Since I don't have a canister for 4X5 negatives, they are processed in trays in total darkness. Quite an experience.<br />
<br />
I'll keep you posted on the next shots that I will take with this fantastic camera.<br />
<br />
Take care<br />

In fact I find it to be a form of photojournalism about every day life. So naturally when students started to protest against tuition hikes last March 2012, I was attracted to the events and figured it would be a great way to learn photojournalism right then and there.<br />

I've been to at least 60 events since then and I'll try to share with you what I've learned over this surreal experience. This is not as dangerous or crazy as war photography or demonstrations elsewhere in the World where the risk of death is ever present but it still involves some levels of risk. I'll be breaking down my experience to make it easier on the eyes.<br />
<br />
Reconnaissance<br />
<br />
Get informed about what the event is about, what the debate is, who's more likely to be present and where it is happening. Show up early to recon the terrain and see where police will set up. If you can plan an escape route or more than one ahead of time, it's always better. Information ahead of time is always worth the effort in the long run.<br />

Police<br />
<br />
Take for granted that your press pass (if you even have a press pass) is worthless. Cops will arrest you regardless from my experience. The best strategy here is to take it for granted so you're always on your toes and ready to avoid being kettled or worst getting rushed by the riot squad, pepper sprayed, gassed, hit by a baton or shot by a rubber/plastic bullet. Prepare for all these things and hope for the best but do be prepared physically and mentally. Also, police hate to be photographed so be careful when doing so to make sure it doesn't bring unwanted attention to yourself at a bad time especially when you are alone. You have the right to photograph anybody on public domain but they either don't know it or don't care.<br />

Protesters<br />
<br />
Here's where recon pays off. Don't show up and start snapping away at everybody. Introduce yourself first and explain what you are there for. Make some new contacts and say hi to old ones if you have them. It's also a good time to get the feel for the mood of the crowd so you can have an idea on what kind of event you will be covering.<br />

Photographing the protest<br />
<br />
Chances are your not the only one there so go ahead and try to find the angle nobody has. If something happens and 20 other people are there shooting it from the same spot, being 21 won't be anything special. Take a few seconds to read the scene and get a better or more original angle. If you're lucky, you might spot an element that everyone else has missed. On a more practical note, stay alert and vigilant of your surroundings. It's hard to have eyes in the back of your head but keep in mind that while you're looking through the viewfinder, things happen around you and sometimes they can be bad. Stay to the sides of the perimeter and on the outside if you can. Always plan ahead for an escape route as you move, you might need one at a moments notice. Use a telephoto lens if you're not sure how close you want to get. Starting with a fixed lens like a 50mm would not be a good choice for a first timer in my opinion.<br />

Gear<br />
<br />
The first rule for gear in a situation like this for me is simple: don't bring anything you're going to miss if you lose it. My DSLR comes with me on the tame protest marches during the day with thousands of people. I have a vintage prime lens on it and it will stay home when I go to an evening protest since I know these can get crazy. I bring 3 cameras on those, a Canon G12 because it is rugged and can take a beating while pumping out great images, a old Nikon S8100 because it is expendable and makes a great back-up and an old Minolta Himatic 2 auto focus 35mm film camera that cost a whopping $5. Apart from that I bring water, eye protection and a first aid kit. Keep the weight down and only bring the strict minimum, you'll be carrying that stuff during the entire event. Also have a plan for your memory card in case of arrest. Montreal Police are notorious for seizing and erasing them.<br />

Shoes<br />
<br />
Pay the bucks and get real good walking shoes. Just trust me on this one.<br />
<br />
Objectivity<br />
<br />
Don't bother with that, nobody does. Objectivity is a noble goal that goes out the window the minute someone has any form of interest in something. Concentrate on taking great images and let your lens do the talking because it doesn't lie. If the mainstream media can't be objective, why should you? Just go with the flow.<br />

Mr Moriyama has a philosophy that the camera is nothing but a tool to capture an image, a moment in time.<br />
<br />
He uses a simple 35mm point and shoot film camera with auto-focus. His technique is also particular where he hardly uses the viewfinder, he literately points and shoots!<br />
<br />
I decided to give this technique a go but film being so precious I didn't want to waste any on an experiment that might turn out a bunch of crappy shots. Let's face it, I wasn't expecting to master in a day what a man has worked decades to perfect. So I went ahead and loaded up the old Nikon S8100 Coolpix with some fresh memory, juiced up the battery, set it to black and white, set up ISO and focus to auto. I even blanked the view screen since I couldn't turn it off and decided to not review my shots until I got home.<br />
<br />
Out of 110 shots, I kept 70 and 30 are to my satisfaction. Most of the images were taken in the Montreal Metro since it was a very cold day outside. Hope you like how my experiment turned out. I will definitely be doing this again.<br />

I've rediscovered the magic of film, became a citizen photojournalist, got published in online zines and some of my shots made it in 2 exhibits including the World Press here in Montreal.<br />
<br />
Being a freelancer means I take pics for me and this is also the premise for my selection of the year's 10 favourite pictures of mine. That's right, favourite not best. Out of over 20 000 images I chose the ones that pleased me not just for their overall look but for what was behind the image. Each one has a story beyond what's in the frame and they bring back happy memories.<br />
<br />
So I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taken them.<br />

Needless to say I was very pleased with the result.</td></tr>

This is a vintage fully mechanical SLR with a dead light meter (Batteries made with mercury are no longer available). Last Friday I hooked up the 100mm lens on it and went for a walk in the Montreal Plateau district to test it out. This beast weighs the same as a WW2 German Tiger tank, so my neck got one serious work out!<br />

A very hefty rangefinder this is as close as I'm probably ever going to get to a Leica. It is in mint condition and it even smells fresh oil from a recent CLA.<br />
<br />
I think I have an issue with the shutter mechanism or I'm not doing something right. The next roll will tell. I'll be going for a black and white film next time since I want this to be my main street camera.<br />

This painting was made on a large canvas at the Shambala Music Festival in BC this year by a bunch of people who were attending. Each adding their very own touch. Mundafar from We The Sheep People asked me to shoot it for it's upcoming sale to auction in order to raise money to buy food for the homeless. So for now it has no title but the piece is truly beautiful.<br />

I had the chance to get my hands on a Canon 40D from my cousin as a loan for me to play with, I didn't like it. A bit surprising since I've owned a lot of Canon products and I'm very comfortable with their interface.<br />

It turns out that the slow f/5.6 lens was not up to par for me and all the bells and whistles that come with it are not necessary for me. So back to square one and research. This is what I found out. The one thing you need to know before shopping for a DSLR is that there is roughly 2 types. The full frame camera that has a sensor the same size as a 35mm negative, hence "full frame". These go for thousands of dollars and are mostly used by pros. If you're not doing photography to earn a living or don't have wads of cash lying around, not really for you.<br />

<br />
One step down are the APS-C sensor DSLRs. In this category you have everything from the entry level camera to the semi-pro stuff. The bottom line is, they all have the same size sensor. So unless you like bells and whistles, the entry level camera should do the job the same as the expensive one.<br />

I looked around and decided on a Sony Alpha series for a few reasons. Every review mentioned they were simple to use. The camera comes with a stabilizer in the body, so you can use any lens and it will be stabilized. Also, all AF Minolta lenses are a direct fit on them, I have 2 of them lying around on the shelf.<br />

<br />
A brand new Sony Alpha is around $600 with tax around here so I decided to shop on Kijiji for an older low use model. I found the A230 for $300 with only 1200 shots taken and it was in pristine condition. I took a few shots with the 18-55mm lens that came with it and quickly tossed it. The fast Minolta AF f1/7 50mm lens is just amazing and my Sigma AF 70-210mm does a fantastic job. Confirmation of the saying that if you spend bucks, spend it on lenses. The interface is simple to use. It took me less than 24 hours to get proficient and getting amazing shots on the first day. The only bad note about this camera for me, is the Sony specific flash hotshoe but there's a way around that.<br />

I've been having a hard time taking photos during the evening in the City with my Canon G12. Any type of movement made the images overly blurry, high ISO setting left too much noise in the image and the black and white result isn't that great. I prefer black and white in the evening since street lights do not bring out nice colours. Film for me is the way to go for crisp black and white pictures.<br />

I was heading to the Metropolis on Ste-Catherine on the evening of September 5th in order to document and participate in a vigil organized to commemorate the shooting death of an innocent by-stander. The evening prior while our new Prime Minister elect made her acceptance speech, a maniac tried to get in the theatre to go on what appeared to be a shooting rampage. He was quickly arrested by Montreal Police but he had already killed one and wounded another. This kind of thing never happens here.<br />
<br />
I decided to use the Ricoh since it was easy enough to use and I figured I would manage to get shots like they use too back in the day with the integrated flash. I used Kodak Professional 400TX 400 ISO film for the job and I am quite pleased with the results. All of the shots you'll see were done hand held. The Ricoh is great for jamming it flat on your face and remains pretty stable while the shutter opens.<br />

This week end in the Old Port the Armed Forces organized an event to showcase some of what they do. They also had on hand re-enactors from WW2 with a working canon and a group of 18th Century French troops. The boys and girls from the Royal Canadian Navy were also offering rides in their zodiac boats in the harbour, lots of fun.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took the featured shots with my Canon G12 for color and the black and white shots were done on film using a Yashica FX-D with Fuji Acros 100 iso.</div>
