Welcome!

This is my blog for Tom Houston Photography. My aim here is to help share knowledge. I have been fortunate enough to know some very smart and helpful photographers who have helped me a lot with my photography. This blog is how I want to return the favour, give back and help out others.

I hope you enjoy,

Photos: Orchid B&W

Hey,

Had a lot of fun with a spray bottle and an orchid last night.  I decided to push myself a little and do some black and whites since I always do colour shots.  So I posted them onto my site on the new arrivals section and here is one of them:

Orchid - Black and White - 105mm f/2.8 Macro VR
I highly recommend just playing around inside with a flash and a macro lens with flowers or other cool objects.  I was originally using my tripod however I find it too restrictive so I turned up my flash and my stutter speed (1/250s) and used my camera handheld.  I ended up using my lens hood for my 105mm as a stand for my SB-900.  Surprisingly it worked really well.  I absolutely love the bokeh and well everything about the 105mm.  Stunning lens.  If you don't have one and love macro I highly recommend it!

Please go check them out on my site at www.tomhoustonphotography.ca.

I hope you like these shots, I really do and stan posted for some colour ones later!

Photos: New Photos x2

Hey,

So I just uploaded my latest two shoots on my website (www.tomhoustonphotography.ca) and you should definitely check them out!  They were both a lot of fun and I will be doing another two shoots tomorrow if the weather is nice.  Can't wait.

So go to my site and browse my new arrivals gallery, after ~1 week I will toss the ones I want for my portfolio into the portrait gallery and then put them up on Flickr so you can still see the others if you want.

Here is one of the recently uploaded photos:

Portrait - 35mm f/1.8 G

Hope you enjoy!

Photos: Sneak Peek

Hey,

Sorry it has been a while since you have heard from me.  I have been preoccupied with my education.

So I have done some photography however have been a little too busy to edit and post and all that jazz however I had some time today to post a sneak peek of a shoot I did about a week ago.  Now that I got my very long sentence out of the way, please check the sneak peek out on my site under "New Arrivals" and I hope you enjoy them.  I will hopefully get the rest up soon so stay posted!

Also I will now put my new photos into the New Arrivals gallery for ~1 week and then I will sort them accordingly into the right galleries after that.

Hope you enjoy and no I have not died.

Tom

Also I have another shoot waiting to be edited and posted after this so there will be another one coming shortly (fingers crossed).  So please keep checking/reading my post and peeking at my site.
