Photo Session 7 "Motor Cycle Show" April 10, 2010

I have been to Motorcycle show this saturday(April 10, 2010) and its my first time going to such events. They have lots of motorcycles in display from small scooters to japanese yamaha to harley davidson's big bikes. Here are some of the pictures that I have taken from the said events.


The show has 3 halls for the different kinds of motorcycles but I havent got to see the 3rd hall due to shortage of time. Aside from brand new motorcycles in displays they also sell some used motorcycles too which has a dedicated small booth for them.

Photo Session 6 "April 1st Easter Sunday and Woodbine beach"

Its sunday and around 11:30 I arrived on Woodbine beach, lots of people everywhere in summer outfits but you can still feel the cold in the air. The weather is good and lots of sunshine to enjoy througout the day. Its now my 6th photo session and im studying taking photographs on afternoon.

There are lots of things to shoot at the beach but I again was overwhelmed by lots of people and things to shoot. Also they have the events which is the "Easter Sunday Parade" that guarantees to satisfy my photo shooting needs. This is a perfect opportunity for me to study lights specifically on afternoon time as I have this huge problem with exposure during mid day shots.

Here are some of my photos and im really happy with the outcome as it produce much better exposure than my last shots taken on north york park. The secret behind my latest great shots I think was understanding the good balanced exposed picture by reading the histogram.
