wtf? really? screw that, I am pretty sure our taxes paid for all those parks!
Does the permit cost money or is it just something you need to apply for?

Thanks Justin! the oof grass bothered me too, but that was the only angle I could find that had a line of sight on him, he was pretty hidden. I found him around burnaby lake after about an hour of searching, tiny little buggers.

I completely agree. GREAT shot, just too bad about the bent leaf/grass thing in the middle

Does anyone wanna give any CC or feedback on my last pic? lol I am a noob and could use some pointers! thankss

^ I don't know what the subject is supposed to be, sure it has some neat shapes/lines, but my eye is wandering around looking for something to jump out. I think I notice the forklift more than the roof, because there's only 1 of them.

^ I concur

On a forum of mostly guys, no one said anything bout the girl on a "leash"?

Weird.

Cuz that's the way it's supposed to be?

I kid ;)

It wasn't provocative enough... Now if she was in stilettos and a skanky outfit, you'd probably get a response.

hahaha j/k

Or if it was a proper leash... then some talk would happen. Not a trumped-up scarf. ;)

Now to find a girl who will dress up ....

Why not make it both girls? ;)

Yes, I'm sure. That's what we were taught by pretty much all the instructors. We went to go get a permit for one shoot that needed 2 strobes, softboxes and a generator just in case. I think it was free, you just have to get one. The worst penalty is a fine, but at worst you just get kicked out of the park. They are quite vigilant at QE Park because of all the wedding photogs there. By 'generator' I don't mean the gas powered ones...I mean the battery packs like the Profoto 7b.

to Lensbabies. We will start off by showing you some samples of the effects you
can get with the various Lensbabies and then show you some tricks of the trade to
help you get started. Then we will let you loose with some loaner babies. You can
wander around town or the block depending how far and wide you want to walk.

Beau Photo Supplies and Blazes Photographic are presenting a Profoto Lighting “Info-Afternoon”. Come on down to Langara College and see what’s new and exciting from Profoto.
Check out the new Pro-8a Pack, and see what improvements have been made. Have a look at your portable options with the 7b, B2 and the AcuteB 600. Try out the D4, the Ultimate in studio lighting control. The D4 is a fully adjustable pack where you can even adjust your lighting output from your computer.

A must see will be the new line of Profoto Giants. The Giant reflectors 180, 240 and 300 all feature a deep parabolic shape for even parallel light output. These reflectors give off a bright, even light and offer the photographer greater control in shaping the light. We will demo a giant reflector and a variety of other Profoto products. As well, we will have promotional pricing on all Profoto products and accessories. So come on down and be a part of this event.

edit i know her back leg is distracting :) but its okay i got 9.5 on it :) hahaha

butterfly, what's that mean? is that a brand of softbox?

Great lighting! :)

^ its a type of lighting style to create a butterfly under the nose... basically softbox or light is above subjects head . creates even lighting and prevents dark eye sockets and stuff :)

^ cool!

was playing around with geled flashes and a friend smoking sheesha

Haha...can't see the butterfly with a dog's nose! :p Nice shot though. :thumbsup: I met one of your classmates....Kimberly or something...?

Here's an example of butterfly lighting on humans. The shadow under the nose is shaped kind of like a butterfly.
