Shots from last Sunday - FF Training and others

Jes' dad is a firefighter and last Sunday they were doing some training at Bellevue Park for ice rescues. Jes went with the camera -- I had hockey to play and got some pics -- I showed up as hockey fizzled out and took some shots as well.

Once again playing in LR with them for some different results. Wasn't going to post here but the board is somewhat slow so figured any updates are nice.

#1 - Me Dancing on the shore -- shot by Jes


#2 - Jes hanging out at the water's edge, not sure why I just liked it


#3 - Boat out on the ice, one fireman in the water waiting to be rescued (shot by either Jes or myself, can't remember)


#4 - I believe this was just coming out of the water


#5 - Jes found a dead fish, she was intrigued


#6 - Help from the Captain


And there you have it. I know the PPing is all over the board but it was fun .

I like how you've changed up the PP styles for the different pictures. It's common to see people find a single PP style/fad they like and apply it to everything, even if it doesn't really fit the subject. The PPing is definitely obvious, like you said, but I'm digging it.

I totally agree with bj.

Nice stuff...the PP adds a nice emotion to the photos.

The boat wasn't in the water when I was there, you must have gotten there after me. I had my daughter in the car so I couldn't really get the pictures I wanted.

I think you got some really good coverage. The first shot with the boat is my favorite as well as the last shot, but they're all good. I'd love to see some without so much done in post.

Thanks guys.

We were there preboat as well. Jes came and got me from my empty parking lot (where no one showed up for hockey) to tell me they were putting the boat in the water/on the ice. They drove it down from the Pine St marina I believe or possibly by the Bush Plane Museum.

I'll get some "not so processed" shots up later in the week (on nights right now, blech), the suits they were wearing were really bright yellow, the snow was extremely white and the sun was high noon so a lot of the shots were pretty blown out -- the last one on here was for example and that's why I toned it down the way I did in post.

I also went semi over the top on mine as I felt like I was preaching.
