Are You a Canadian Photographer?

[laurenmichelle]

Hi you all, i am pretty new in this forum, If you are the Canadian photographer then Introduce yourself here and also highlight your expertise, then it will very easy to me to communicate with my Canadian photographers and I hope i will learn something from them....
:rolleyes:

[PhotogWannabe]

Hi there. I'm Canadian and have a camera. ;) In my mind that makes me a photographer. Self-taught, photograph anything that will stand or sit still - grandson, animals, plants/flowers, you name it. I'm in southwest BC, where are you?

[Deep Pocket]

I'm in Southwest BC also :D. 16, and still learning and trying to produce my first worthy shot. :D

[themadman]

Guess you aren't interested in learning from non-Canadian photographers eh?

Welcome to the forum BTW.

[reddyroc007]

Vancouverite here. Been photographing for a little over a year only. Really enjoy landscapes and have recently started doing some advertising work and hoping to move into portraits some day. Also trying to push my creative limits, I'm quite limited in that department but I love beautiful things which is why I finally took up photography. Lots to learn here, enjoy your time.

[FuzzFace]

are the rest of you Canadians as glad to see the snow disappearing as I am? Nice to see some color returning and more to photograph besides white

[spikeystitch]

Im located in Calgary and first started shooting in 2008. I mainly shoot portraits but also like to shoot landscapes and event photography.

Fuzz: We haven't had snow in Calgary in over 4 weeks, although everything is still dead, brown and dreary here.

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Southwestern Ontario here. And the snow is all gone :( Skis are put away for next winter. But the world is starting to turn green again.

[millwright]

[spikeystitch]

Wow, this is an old thread. Funny how much things change. I listed above I shoot mainly portraits..heh. 95% of what I shoot now is nightlife. Crazy what a year will do to your passion ;)

[VO1GXG]

No matter where you go there is always a Newfoundlander in the woodwork. I'm currently living just outside of St. John's and have yet to photography 1/3rd of the city's landscape , i've been teaching myself photography for the last 2 years or so.

How'd you get to goose from there?

[altitude604]

How'd you get to goose from there?

By way of Toronto and Iqaluit. lol

I've been a bit of a nomad because of work for the last few years. Going to be staying in Newfoundland and Labrador for the forseeable while now though. :)

[sinjans]

I do a bit of work up there and will be chasing a pike or two this summer. I've been thinking about the goose river for a while now and plan to get on there somewhere for a few shots. Nice sandy beaches. goose is all sand.

Wilburn Bay is great in the Summer but can be busy.

If you're up this way and want to do some shooting, drop me a PM! I do a lot of Aviation stuff but enjoy Landscapes. Starting up with Medium Format this Summer and will probably have my basic Darkroom setup by then. I want to shoot a Landscape Series of the Labrador Coast this summer. :)

[stormwerks]

Well what do you know? I'm the first to report in from Ottawa.

[sinjans]

^ I'm sure there are a load of you on here. Just too snobby to post with the other Canadians. hahahahahaha. Just kidding :D :D D:

I'm in NH, pretty close to Canada -- a lot of them come down to shop (tax free.) :D

[HughR]

Live in Toronto. I've been involved in photography as an avocation since the late 1960's, when I started with B/W film and set up a darkroom. Switched to DSLR in 2004 and love it.

[The Framed Life]

Regina, SK here. Wish I was in BC, everything there can be made into a great photo, here you just have 2 lines of colour, cold on the bottom, blue on the top, as far as you can see.

[led hed]

[Nomofica]

Edmonton, Alberta here.

[digital paradise]

So to the Canadians living in and around Toronto. Anyone see the Ansel Adams exhibit a fews years ago? My wife was there on business and a good photo buddy and I flew in for the weekend. The 3 of us went to see it.

We stood looking at a huge original Moonrise, Hernandez print. One of the people working strolled over with tissue paper to wipe the drool off my face and I asked if they would take a cheque. She said even the Sheiks from Saudi Arabia don't have cheques big enough for that one :).

[paintballkidz]

im in BC, shoot weddings and anything i can get my hands on.

[kevo1586]

I'm on the East Coast! Which is also located on Earth as confirmed by my details ;).

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

I don't know when we meet up. Would have to find some people nearby first. At some point I should be meeting up with a member from Barrie. I have met with some Michigan members already.

[75D]

Don't know the reason why but have never had much luck getting a meet together. Tried several times and had a wonderful morning meet a few year's back
Would be open to any meet in Montreal or surrounding area.

[Nomofica]

I'd be game for an Edmonton meet.

[picard]

I am willing to meet people from Toronto or Barrie if we can arrange a date & time.

[bfung]

I'd be willing to meet in Toronto too, somebody could organize a photowalk?

[ebert]

Is this the thread where we Canadians complain about how expensive everything is compared to the USA. :lol:

[edge100]

I'd be in for this.

[Nomofica]

I hope this is sarcasm. We pay less (right now)!

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

No we don't.

What I meant is we can buy from the States and pay still less than them because of the current conversion rate.

[Immaculens]

Just look at all these Canucks trapped together in one thread! Hah!

Ever seen so much beer, snow, fishing tackle, maple syrup and lumberjacks together??!! Weirdness!

:p

Stratford here (don't tell anyone), have lived in London, Ottawa, and T.O. and vacationed to both our wonderful coasts & most provinces (alas, not the Yukon or NWT or Nunavut, yet)

(we have some Newfies in this thread, so as a courtesy, please type slowly)

I do love this site, although I do most of my "window shopping"/buying on BH.

[Immaculens]

Yep, got my L from these good folks @ B&H.

And Gordon who runs the photprice.ca site is a great guy - if there is a piece of gear you want the price tracked - he has done it for me for 3 items

[ebert]

What I meant is we can buy from the States and pay still less than them because of the current conversion rate.

But you still have to factor in shipping and customs (which can be a lot).

[picard]

does custom charge alot for shipping a lens? I never bought lens from the states.

[Immaculens]

But you still have to factor in shipping and customs (which can be a lot).

there is no customs/duty for camera gear such as a body or lens purchased in the States and shipped to Canada. B&H and Amazon collect the taxes so you do not have to be billed separately from customs...

[Nomofica]

BH's shipping is very reasonable, too. $20 for a 2-6 day delivery on a $300 purchase.

[Stevie 202]

Well what do you know? I'm the first to report in from Ottawa.

Another one from Ottawa here......not a pro, just a passionate amateur.
The Rideau River and it's inhabitants are my favorite subjects although I'll shoot damn near anything that catches my fancy.

there is no customs/duty for camera gear such as a body or lens purchased in the States and shipped to Canada. B&H and Amazon collect the taxes so you do not have to be billed separately from customs...

The big factor in cross-border shipping is the brokerage fees, as I'm sure most of you already know.

I bought an item cosing $40 that was shipped by UPS. They charged me a $35 'brokerage fee'. :mad:

I use USPS/CP or it's 'no deal'.

Cheers

[Roadhammer]

From the Belleville area. I am new to photography and looking expand my skills so if anyone ever wants to team up and practice together near me I am willing to travel. Spliting the costs is always a bonus. Cheers:cool:
