A few weeks back was Canada Day here in my great nation, and to Celebrate I ventured out to what has been clearly the hot spot for our national birthday, Assiniboine Park, where a number of musical acts and thousands of Winnipeggers came out to celebrate the day of our countries birth. I got a few photos of the Manitoba band Eagle and Hawk, as well as lots of the fireworks that are a Canada Day tradition, one of which is the photo of the week. Celebrating the Red and White, True and Proud was one of the more spectacular parts of the fireworks show, and one that I was very happy to capture. For more shots from that day, check out the Canada Day 09 - Fireworks gallery. Please also check out the Facebook Fan Page and Group for Dwight Wallbridge Photography.


Celebrating the Red and White, True and Proud

Sorry for a late posting this week, it's been a busy week. This week I am going back to the old school, and will be highlighting a photo I took a few days after the World of Wheels show of '06 that I broke into DSLR level shooting with my used Canon Digital Rebel. This is a school yard on Beliveau Road in Winnipeg, which had a very flooded field to the side. I was riding my bike by and saw the amazing reflection of water and sky, and knew I had to get the shot. The shot below is the result. The full gallery can be seen here, but below you will find one of the highlights of the group.

Time for another Highlight Photo of the Week, and this time I am bringing it a bit closer to home. My sister went to Mexico for a week, leaving me to watch over her dogs. A few days in I got a new flash, and while the dogs had many downsides, their capacity to be photograph almost made up for it. The full gallery can be seen here, but below you will find one of the highlights of the group.



This here is Misty,

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?

I took a bit of time since I got my Canon 350D and tried to learn the ins and outs of using a full feature DSLR. You see, my last DSLR, a Canon 300D, has been half a camera for over a year because of an unfortunate but educational meeting it had with some cement. It feels nice, but just as overwhelming as it was last time to have so much at my control. I am slowly acclimating to it, and figuring out where to go next with my photography. I have posted a few pics over on the Gallery, mostly in the Nature in Spring section.

I have also begun posting photos, in smaller numbers, over at Flickr, though only those I allow to be friends can see them. I was originally going to allow everyone to see them, but I didn't like the stories I read about local businesses taking photos from there and using them without the authority or compensation. If you want to take a look, feel free to add me, but understand that by doing so you are agreeing to my copyright terms.
 
Well, off to look through photos from the Ten Thousand Frames get together, trying to learn from my mistakes and salvage what I can from my misguided attempts.

I have just posted a few new entries over on the gallery, in the Best, Nature, and Places sections, of shots I took awhile back, and had posted to Deviant Art, but had simply forgotten to upload to the old gallery. Enjoy, comments and ratings appreciated.

Hey folks, I just finished uploading about 40 new images for you all to see. I also reorganized the folders, and added a few new folders to try to better organize the gallery. I have added a number of images to 'Places', and the 'Nature and Animals' galleries, and have brought my galleries up to the point I have backed up, meaning about the end of April. Yeah, I know, I am bad for not having more backed up. I am planning to do the rest in a few days. It doesn't help that my burns often come up with problem or unverifiable images, which makes me think twice about the disc I burned. Anyways, feel free to go in and comment and rate my images across all galleries.
