Greeetings Fellow Photographers

New to the forum, new to the mingling with other photogs. I do recognize some of the names here though from my past and present.

For a little about me I've been shooting since roughly Oct 05 and wish I can shoot more but just never seem to find the time -- I think last time I was actually out was New Years Day -- how horrible.

Anyway my main targets have been bands, local with some touring coming through. Looking back at my old stuff I can't believe I even put it up online, I'm definitely more selective now and believe I have "grown" as a photographer. I'm still trying to nail down my own personal style.

I've also now decided to expand my photography and actually become "professional" at it with slowly entering the wedding field but not as a formal wedding photog but more of the photo journalistic style (which realistically in a wedding atmosphere these shots are mostly posed as well). Basically as I was looking around locally for my own photographer for my wedding I was disappointed with the options and we're hiring a photographer from Souther Ontario to come up. Basically if you're looking for fun and different I'm your guy.

I've just recently got into post processing and still far behind at it but getting to where I want to be.

For shots mostly straight out of camera here's a few links. I'm currently redoing all my sites as I hate them all but for my outdated and small Flickr stream to get a feel for what I've done non-band check it out: http://flickr.com/photos/coneil

I also have a non-updated photo blog at: http://www.whitematte.com

See you all around,

Hey Cujo, good to see you on here. Hope to see some new stuff from you soon, especially with the new fisheye you got.

Hello Cujo,

Nice to meet you.

Thanks guys.

Bryan I'll try to get out sometime soon with it. The one time I did use it my CF card went bunk. Maybe on my next four off if it's nice I'll try to get out.

Nice stuff TS and SA! Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Colin. we'll see when I can finally get out again. Damn life getting in the way of fun.

Damn life for sure. Working fulltime bites. Working shift work does help much either! One of these days....

Yeah I'm a 4 on/4 off 12 hr shift worker (two day shifts/two night shifts) and the night shifts beat you up pretty bad on your first day off. Then it's fixing the house and working on my other business after that. As it starts getting nicer outside however I'm going to start setting aside days for just photography.

I work 12 hour nights....2 or 3 at a time. Blah.
