Under: News 28 November 2009 1 comment

November was coined National Photo Book Month (naphobomo). I participated in this event and wanted to share with you my final product!

My Photobook is called 50/50. 50/50 Stands for 50 photos with my 50mm. All of the photos in my book were taken with my Canon 50mm f1.8 during of course November! I created the book using Blurb.com and their BookSmart software for my mac. So please take a look!

London photowalk would like to extend our holiday cheer to you over this holiday season! We know that this is a very busy time of the year for many people. This is why we have decided to take a rest from our regular monthly photowalk until the new year. We will post our January walk details later this year so you can plan.

In the mean time have a great Holiday Season! Enjoy time well spent with friends and family and don’t forget to take some photos while your at it, to keep those skills sharp! Speaking of those photos you may wnat to check out these locations over the holiday season for some amazing light shows:

  • Victoria Park
  • Jena Cresent
  • Saskatoon Street

For those of you looking for a great way to give back this season with photography in mind you should check out a project called Help Portrait. This project is something many of you may be interested in, and as a small fyi, London Photowalk is not participating as we tend to be a large group and it would not be in the best interest of this project. However you may find out that some of our participants are going to host there own little help portrait session, so check out the comments for people who are looking for some help.

Have a great one and Happy Holidays!

Lens Lenders is a great local (London, Ontario) service which allows Nikon and Canon users to rent various lenses and flashes at very affordable rates right over the Internet.

Once again we would like to thank Lens Lenders for sponsoring the Photo Walk.

Lens Lenders details their operations by saying:

Rent lenses through the mail for your Canon or Nikon SLR camera! Rental lenses are delivered to your door by Canada Post inside a professional, waterproof Pelican case.
