my living room!

I was quite bored and quite lazy today

here is my kitty!
and some macro action!

Nancy

Backyard biking

I had to shoot this fast for a couple of reasons

1. The mosquitoes were terrible outside!!!!!
2. Bagheera wouldn't stop jumping the fence

But i like it nonetheless, gives me tonnes of ideas for further shots :)

Nancy

Mr Plum Tree

Hey there

I wanted to go for a bike ride tonight, and take some cool shots of my bike
but then i realized that im too damn lazy haha, maybe tomorrow

so instead i shot the blooming plum tree in my backyard

Nancy

New Ink

I just had to be there when Vanessa texted
me and told me she was randomly getting a tattoo.
It took her 30 seconds to decide she was gettin' one

Atta girl!

Nancy

New Friends

Hi there

I went on an adventure on my bike today and found some new pals,
It was fun to ride my bike because I figure the slower you go, the more you can see
and outside of Camrose has a lot to offer

Nancy

Haha

Rule #1 for living with a photographer

Never Fall Asleep on the Lawn! haha

Nancy

Hi there

I found a sweet job today marketing wise, wish me luck that i get it
& GO CHICAGO!!!!

Nancy

Longboarding

not the best shot of me mostly because it was the wrong angle, but this shot was more or less intended for a dude just checkin' to see if i could pull off the technique or not,

but it was fun nonetheless

I must longboard now! haha

Nancy

ive been wanting to take this shot for a while.

enjoy
Nancy

been a busy one

Hey there

Ive done SO much in the last few days,

I'd like to share a nice snowboard shot i got because, well, I love it haha

I also have shot a baby, and got some stuff for my camera (a new battery grip as well as another elinchrom skyport)

Today I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my vivitar 285hv flashes because I cannot get them to trigger for some reason and it is making me sad. If anyone has any suggestions to fix it let me know :)

Peace
Nancy

Back to the mac

Hey there

Ive been away from my mac and my photoshop for a few days so here is a pile of photos in the adventures of Nancy Shields Photo.

I get to shoot with MGT snowboard camp this weekend in Lake Louise. Wish me luck, it may be the beginnings of my pro snowboard career :)

Peace and Enjoy

another self portrait

I know, another photo of me, but these photos are really helping me understand light more.

its good to know i can get these kinds of photos using everyday light.

i love the off kilter, weirdly cropped-ness of this photo
