Mission Alert: Old Mill Station @ 9PM TONIGHT! (Friday, March 6 2009)

Posted by Jeff | Filed under mission alerts

Missionaries!

Tonight Matt and I will rendezvous at Old Mill station at 9PM for another Humber Park/Bloor West photo mission. We’ll hang around the convenience store inside the station until about 9:15PM, then will be heading down into the Humber park.

If you’re planning on joining us, please RSVP or email jeff@photomissions.ca, or call 416-825-5825. If you’re coming late, give me a call on that number and I’ll let you know where we’re at.

Tonight we’re suggesting the usual gear for night shooting – tripods, flashes, fast lenses, and lights if you’re up for some light painting.

See you at Old Mill!

Jeff

Not dead, just cold

This frigid Canadian winter has obviously slowed down our important photomissioning work for the past few months. Things should be thawing out shortly, so stay tuned for mission notices and other news.

Mission Alert: Friday Night Photo Mission!

Posted by Jeff | Filed under mission alerts

This Friday we will be running a nighttime photomission in Magwood Park near Humbercrest and St. Marks, starting at 8:30ish. See photomissisons.ca for examples of what we’re going for and more details: http://www.photomissions.ca/?p=69. We’ve been doing a lot of light painting lately, so this time we’re making it optional and we’ll be going for different kinds of night shots.

Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=St.+Marks+and+Pasadena,+Toronto,+ON

For this mission, we’re recommending you bring:

- Any type of camera that can do long exposures
- Tripod, if you have one
- Charged batteries and empty memory cards
- Water (beer) and snacks

- Optional: Flashlights, LEDs, lasers, flashes…
- Optional: Cable release/remote control for your camera, if you have one
- Optional: A wide-angle lens, since it’s tough to know what’s in frame in the dark
- Optional: Patience, good attitude, and a desire to learn and have fun

I should be there for 8:30ish. Call ahead (416-825-5825) or email (4168255825 at pcs dot rogers dot calm) for more info, since we may be moving around (the forecast doesn’t look that great, so we may be heading for shelter).

We hope to see you there!

Mission Report from last week’s Friday night mission

** YOU DO NOT NEED A CAMERA FOR THIS MISSION! **

Bring one along if you want, but when doing video light painting, we’re usually only shooting with one camera, but everyone gets the credit. It’s all about the painting – the stuff behind the camera is the easy part.

For this mission, we’re recommending you bring:

- Flashlights! LEDs! Lasers! We need as many different kinds of lights as possible.
- Water (beer) and snacks, since we’ll be out for 4-5 hours.
- Patience, good attitude, and a desire to learn and have fun
- Optional: Camera with manual controls (not usually needed, but it is to do light painting)
- Optional: Tripod, if you have one
- Optional: Cable release/remote control for your camera, if you have one
- Optional: A wide-angle lens, since it’s tough to know what’s in frame in the dark

Matt, Brett and I should be there for 8:30ish. Feel free to call or email for more info. We probably won’t be moving, so come by whenever you like.

See you there.

Matt Watson and Jeff Higgins
