winners Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team), Tim Wellens (Lotto
Soudal), Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates) but also former podium
finishers like Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb), are again expected to
steal the show both on Québec’s Grande Allée on Friday and in Montréal’s
Mont Royal on Sunday.<br />
<br />
As GPCQM’s executive vice-president Marcel Leblanc explained, “we have a
high class field, with several riders in great shape and several former
winners like Van Avermaet, Wellens, Ulissi, Rui Coasta and Simon
Gerrans, the most often crowned rider in our races with three wins”. And
the usual suspects made it clear their ambitions were high in a season
where the World championships, held on a hilly course in Innsbruck,
Austria, might suit the climbers better than the riders favoured to do
well in Canada.</span></span></span><br />

champion Greg Van Avermaet won in Montréal in 2016 but has yet to raise
his arms in Québec City despite four podium finishes in the old
capital. “I’m happy to be here again. These are races that suit me well,
there’s always a great atmosphere and good crowds. I hope to be at my
best level now and to be there in the finale. Hopefully I can win Québec
after a few times on the podium.”<br />
<br />
Also winner in Montréal in 2015, fellow-Belgian Tim Wellens is eager for
more, especially on Sunday, on a course made even harder by the
addition of a new climb in the finale. “Montréal suits me better, the
course is beautiful and there are fewer turns than here. Of course I’ll
be closely watched but when you have the legs you can make a
difference,” he said.</span></span></span>Richard Prudhommehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12416309534671187970noreply@blogger.com0Montreal, QC, Canada45.5016889 -73.56725599999998645.145911899999994 -74.212702999999991 45.8574659 -72.921808999999982tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21319329.post-70762152029278566842018-07-19T08:53:00.000-07:002018-07-19T08:53:34.743-07:00Olympus om-d EM-1Sent my back up camera, Olympus OM D E-M1 off to repairs for a broken strap eye.

In winter, here in Quebec the temperature pretty much stays below freezing. Batteries such as the Olympus BLH-1 are rated for temperatures as low as 14 degrees. Batteries do lose a lot of energy in the cold, so what happens when you plan on shooting an outdoor event in the winter. Whether i'm shooting with my Canon or Olympus, I always have a spare battery with me at all times, not just in the winter, but also summer.<br />

I don't let cold weather stop me from doing photos, I dress warm, keep a spare battery on me, literately, in the inside pocket of my warm winter parka, and enjoy a great day outdoors shooting sporting events.Richard Prudhommehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12416309534671187970noreply@blogger.com0501 Rue Val Saint Côme, Saint-Côme, QC J0K 2B0, Canada46.2726002 -73.86942239999996220.7505657 -115.17801639999996 71.7946347 -32.560828399999963tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21319329.post-1477979144351319832017-12-20T07:36:00.000-08:002017-12-20T07:36:18.174-08:00Helpful Tips for Holiday Travel Season<h1 class="x_xn-hedline">

<br />
Work when you want to may be possible if you do only studio work, but it is far from my case, as I often get to work on a lot of Saturday's and. Sunday's. Choosing photography as a career won't be easy, but with a lot of passion it is possible,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7 REASONS TO CHOOSE PHOTOGRAPHY AS A CAREER<br />
<br />
Photography is a career option that is selected by many people. It is an art that is followed by people, and they can develop and define it into their career. Photography is a hobby for many, but when a hobby takes the shape of a career; It becomes pleasant to the person. A career in photography can be very encouraging for people who are inspired to follow their dreams. Here are seven reasons to choose photography as a career:<br />
<br />
Work When You Want - You are your boss! Do you want some time off? Do you need to spend more time with your family? Of course, go ahead. Who’s going to tell you otherwise? How great is that? You have complete control of your time.<br />
<br />
Photography Will Take You To Places - Whether you are a destination photographer or a landscape photographer, photography will take you places you've never been to. It brings business traveling to a new level. Instead of corporate meetings, you’ll be photographing moments.<br />
<br />
You Get To Go To Photography Conferences - Unlike corporate conferences; photography conferences are full of fun! No matter where you are in the world, you will be able to find one that interests you the most. What's great about photography conference is that you do not only learn from your colleagues but also create a network with other photographers. You never know when you will need someone to cover for you, or when they’ll need someone covering them.<br />
<br />
Clients Will Buy Into Your Vision - Your clients will be more than happy to allow you express your personality with hidden nanny cam. The reason they chose you over your competition is to share your sense of style and vision. Don’t change who you are and be faithful to yourself. This leads you to the next point.<br />
<br />
You Get To Keep Learning - Like any industry, photography continues to evolve. There is always new gear coming out, new lighting techniques to learn, more editing tricks for you to learn – this can go on and on. Learning something new keeps you interested in what you are doing. You don’t have stay in one place.<br />
<br />
Every Day Is Different – No two days are alike in photography. One day you will be able to drink champagne with the bride and groom, and the next day you will be editing. Even if you have two weddings in one weekend, those two events will not be the same. You get to be at different places, see different faces and experience something different every time.<br />
<br />
Money – This is placed last because it’s not the reason photographers go into photography, no one wants to starve. While some photographers may not agree, most others will tell you that there is money to be made in the industry. You get to set the price and handle all your bookings. <br />
People who have great success in the field of photography are trendsetters. Keep a record of the successful professional photographers so you can get inspiration from their lives. Some successful photographers have earned a lot of respect and money in this field. So, people with a creative mind and love to capture the images behind the lenses can pursue photography as a career. What else do you want? The time is now to pick up your pen camera and make some money! Photography is excellent.Richard Prudhommehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12416309534671187970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21319329.post-13908615184492070072017-09-04T07:25:00.000-07:002017-09-18T07:27:51.512-07:00Editing photos Editing your photos, which ones are the winners?<br />
<br />
After your photo shoot, you will want to go through your images and only keep the good ones, deleting the out of focus or under or overexposed shots.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKaALllKRcRFPrigbFb6MXZ7HeaP0H465syRpKatNcWt1X845g4S_PRoMbNO7XbZ403Si3oZDJ0D88L_55Fo7rXiS-_2S5W3-XJYsQfFalpVxhxJk5BLIVp5qTYMhBPPpWrH7/s1600/Focus.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1290" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKaALllKRcRFPrigbFb6MXZ7HeaP0H465syRpKatNcWt1X845g4S_PRoMbNO7XbZ403Si3oZDJ0D88L_55Fo7rXiS-_2S5W3-XJYsQfFalpVxhxJk5BLIVp5qTYMhBPPpWrH7/s320/Focus.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I want my images to be sharp and properly exposed, but often I will see a photo used somewhere, that resembles a shot I had, but deleted. It is hard to foretell which images will sell, I am not saying to only shoot out of focus or badly exposed images, but it is sometimes surprising which of your photos will interest buyers. I have sold more photos of dead trees for articles on environment, disease, climate change and ect, than photos of beautiful healthy colorful ones.<br />

This is where my Olympus's wifi comes in handy. As soon as I arrive on site I can shoot a picture or two with my digital camera, transfer them to my iphone which I have on me. Then choose one photo and send it off directly on site without having to return to my car to download the photos on my laptop, then ship them off. I will then continue shooting, looking for better angles to shot from for additional material to be added to the news article.

A lot of people head to this park in Saint-Liguori to cool off, so i decided to head there to spot a good image. I like this shot of a man sitting in the river with a drink in his hand.

Spot news items happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You need to be able to cover a fire at 2am like the one above, or free to go and take pictures of an accident or other incident at any time during the day. As spot news photographers we are on call 24/7. What I enjoy about covering spot news items is the challenge to get that one photo that best describes the event that is unfolding.<br />

I specialize in outdoor photos, so it was just natural for me to head off to the airport looking for an Air Canada plane to photograph. I got this shot of an Air Canada Express plane painted in the new Air Canada colors as it was approaching the airport to land.<br />
