Photography

My first interest in Photography was back in Grade 6 when my Grandfather let me use his 35mm Pentax Asahi SLR camera. He taped the generic exposure chart onto the back of the camera body so I can get accustomed to setting a properly exposed photo using whatever film I put into it. Setting the aperture and shutter speed back then was pretty mysterious to me. After taking the camera out into the wilderness of Pitt Meadow’s Grant Narrows Regional Park, I was hooked.

Today I try and take my camera out everywhere I go. If the situation does not accommodate my digital SLR, I try and bring my more compact Canon SD750.

My Equipment (so far)

• Canon EOS 7D (1.6x crop)
• Canon EOS 450D (aka Digital Rebel XSi, 1.6x crop) + BG-E5 Battery Grip

• Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM
• Canon EF 17-40mm f4L USM
• Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II (nifty 50)

• Sigma EF-530 DG Super Flash
• Canon SD750 (compact digital camera) for those moments where dSLRs cannot go!
  

Retired Equipment

• Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS (kit lens)
• Canon EF 75-300mm f4.0-5.6 III USM

Other

• Velbon Tripod (some generic tripod with quick release)

Media Accredited Events

In an effort to gain more photography experience and network within the industry, I have been looking at ways of being media accredited for various events around the Metro Vancouver area. Events I have attended as media have been:

• LG FIS  Snowboard World Cup 2009 at Cypress Mountain
• Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival 2009
• Hockey Canada Cup – Woman’s Hockey 2009

I am always looking for more events which I can attend as a photographer not only to increase my experience and portfolio, but to also do what I love doing most; capture the world around me digitally.

Photography Interests

There are many things I love to capture digitally with my camera and in no particular order:

• Sporting events (pretty much everything from Snowboarding to Surfing to Baseball and Hockey)
• Wildlife
• Landscapes (Travel destinations, local hot spots, remote areas)
• Concerts (Large venue, private venues, outdoor public concerts)

Here on Tyler Ingram dot Com I write about my various photography adventures as they happen. I’ll talk about where the photos were shot, why I shot them and how I went about it. I will also share tips, tricks and other information about the photography world as I explore it. Mix all this in with my other interests, and I am sure there will be something always interesting to read here.
