OK, so it’s been a while. Over a month. What’s new. Why so long since the last post?
No real reason…just life got in the way of blogging.
Oh yeah, and I totally rebuilt my website from the ground up. Have a peak at http://www.timsnowphotography.com and let me know what you think!
I’ll be back more often…I promise…

Viewing Pictures: Bigger is ALWAYS Better…
One of my biggest complaints about the internet is the way many websites display their photographs.
I spend a huge amount of time online looking at different sites, some technical, a few forums, a bunch of blogs, National Geographic and whatever else. The one that catches my eye every time is the following: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/
As the name implies, the show pictures, and BIG! They almost fill my 24″ display! As a photojournalist, It’s always nice to see images from the top shooters in the world!

Lions and other Monsters
I don’t shoot very much football, especially at the amateur level. I was lucky enough to pull the assignment to shoot the North Shore Lions today. What a dominating team!
I also shot the return of the Monster Spectacular to Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. As it was the 4th time I shot the event, it was kind o fdifficult to find a new way to shoot it. This particualr shot was captured with a shutter speed of a quarter second, while panning with the movement of the truck and adding a slight zoom with my 70-200mm lens. Nothing groundbreaking, but at least I was able to deliver something a bit different to my client…

Great job on the Jack’s this year by the crew from Mooers, NY.
Nothing really specific about photography, available light lying on the grass and such, I just love Halloween!

Congrats Kristy and Anthony!
Could you ask for a better place to get married? Kristy Chabot became Kristy Waugh and she wed her beau, Anthony. Congrats to the two of you!

Kristy and Anthony are finally married!

Every wedding should end with a bonfire!
Emerald Lake, BC.
Outside of Banff, Alberta.
When Kristy and Anthony asked me to shoot theri wedding, I jumped at the opportunity. Kristy and I go way back, I think we met when I was 16 or 17 at a punk rock show. We were both fixtures in the local scene, so before long we were good friends. Kristy never sat too still, she has travelled all over the place. It was on one of these trips, this time to Scotland, she met Aussie Anthony. Tehy hit it off immediately! Keep reading →

Back light is the best light
In concert photography, one of my favorite techniques is to backlight my subject… especially when they are wearing a hat! Keep reading →

Rain-soaked runners compete in the Montreal Half-Marathon which had arecord setting start on the Jacques Cartier bridge.
Variety is the spice of life, is it not? The top 3 images were all shot at the same event. It is my job to shoot it in such a way to show a varitey of competitors, disciplines and angles. You have to put yourself in position to cover the event in a way that is fresh and original. Keep reading →
