****

Il s’agit d’un des plus gros projets sur lequel j’ai travaillé. En février, je devais réaliser le time lapse d’un événement corporatif organisé par Ruby Sky Event Planning au Shaw Center d’Ottawa.

Six jours de préparation où la salle est en montage puis, pendant les trois jours de l’événement, plusieurs étapes de démontage et remontage pour accommoder une soirée d’ouverture, des discours, des ateliers, et une soirée de clôture incluant un souper grandiloquent et un concert rock.

Trois caméras, une photo aux 35 ou 45 secondes par appareil avec pour résultat un total de 45000 photos.

If you are new here, you might not know the incredible journey that a personal video of mine did. A time lapse of my son, that was done for my family and friends, went viral all over the world, put us on TV and newspapers, and even helped the career of a young singer just starting out. Here it is:

Not too long after it went viral, a very popular Youtube user named freddiew sent me a private message asking me if I was OK with his own take on my idea. You bet I was! Here is his homage: Time lapse of a grown man playing with his toys.

And just recently, a young man did the same: Time Lapse of a Middle Schooler Playing with his Toys.

I mean… How CUTE is this kid!

Wrestling and off camera flashes

A couple of years ago, before I knew I was going to make a living with photography, I was shooting for a small wrestling federation in my hometown of Quebec City. At that time, I was shooting with a Rebel with a kit lens, then with a 20D with a Sigma 24-70. With the Rebel, I was using the pop-up flash, and with the 20D I was using an on-camera 420ex speedlight.

Yesterday was a back in time night for me. There was a special wrestling show held by two wrestler I met at that time, and I asked them to take pictures. This time, I was going to do it with professional equipment, Strobist style.

I put 3 550ex speedlight up on the mezzanine, allowing me to have a nice light at 400 ISO, 1/250 at f2.8 (1/250 is the max sync speed for Canon). You can see the lighting diagram here.

You can compare the pictures below with my “best shot” of my early years. I think the difference is pretty obvious!
