Your Bio

Jan- 2009

Hi,
i'm an amateur photographer in Toronto, Canada. Right now just got the Canon Rebel XSi with 2 lenses. I'm hoping to purchase more lenses in the future and i'll update my bio once i get some good pics here.

May 1-2009
Just got a new DELL computer with an awesome 24" monitor. Gotta admit ..viewing pictures is a whole lot more enjoyable now than on my previous 14" laptop screen. As well..Smugmug allows for full screen display on its site which is really cool.

May 15-2009
Got CS4 extended version, Lightroom 2.2 and Elements 7, so there is a lot to learn.

November-2009
Did my first Tilt-Shift image (without an actual tilt-shift lens) and my first HDR image using Photomatix (trial version) and i'm very excited about the endless possibilities here.

I can be reached at Paul_krol@hotmail.com

Toronto Zoo : While the animals are seemingly well-treated..i couldn't help myself thinking at times that this was a sort of animal prison for them. The cougar in particular seemed very restless and was pacing back and forth in his cage..which wasn't that big.. i also wanted to mention that taking pics of animals in a zoo is kind of cheating..its one thing to be in the wild and capture a good picture of an animal..and another thing when the animal really has nowhere to go.

The woods : This forested area is in Toronto, Canada - near Yonge/St.Clair - it is called David A. Balfour Park. We've been getting a lot of rain recently and i decided to just go out with my umbrella and take some pictures. Just before I entered the woods i snapped a few pictures of a playground. Ps. most of the pictures were shot in ISO 1600 (something i've never done before) - as there just wasn't enough light and i don't really like the 'harsh' light from a flash.

Poker Night - 09-11-2009 : I experimented with slow shutter speeds, hand-holding at 1/5sec and 1/6sec at ISO1600. I thought it looked more natural than just using a flash which would have thrown a lot of light into the pics. I also edited the pics in CS4 and Lightroom 2 quite a bit.
