March 2009 Archives

Welcome back to another Highlight Photo of the Week. This past weekend was the 2009 World of Wheels show at the Winnipeg Convention Center, and I while I didn't get the time to go this year, I wanted to highlight a shot I took from the 2006 show. To give you some background, the Saturday of that show was the day I got my first DSLR, a silver Canon Digital Rebel(300D) with a 18-55mm kit lens and used Sigma 55-200mm zoom. I was shooting with Tim Hellsten, a long time friend through the Winnipeg Photo Club, and I filled up my memory cards more times than I can count. Here is one of the cooler shots I got that weekend.



This is a Prowler, I think, though I sadly didn't get the details. One of my areas to work on. Come back next week for more highlights from my gallery.

One step closer to a Monday release, this weeks highlighted photo is one I took last summer, late summer or early fall, at the Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg here. The beast is an Amur Leopard, which as you can see from my gallery I took a lot of pictures of. This massive cat was very active and photogenic in both of my visits to the zoo, unlike his Snow Leopard cousin who just paced in one of my visits, and the Siberian Tigers who were usually sleeping even in the cooler fall weather. I intend to go back this summer more, and get a wider variety of shots of this and many more animals, though I will miss the lovable Polar Bear Debbie, who passed this winter.



Come back next week for more highlights from my gallery.

Hi, you may remember me from such blog posts as... umm.. well, not many of late, really, and that is about to change. I am introducing a new segment here on Dwight Wallbridge Photography. I am going to be posting a highlighted photo once a week. These photos retain the usual copyrights, so don't be stealing. I am going to try to make each week's photo new and notable where I can. That may not always be possible, but I will try. Now, for the first Highlighted photo.



This is Cheyenne, a girl who was very eager to pose for a picture model style near the end of the party. I think she would make a great model, what do you think?
