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,

Tom

Photos: Cape Forchu, NS

Hey,

I am pumping out a lot of photos because I have been able to take more photos as I travel since I have arrived at where I am working for the week.  These photos are from a very nice area with a lighthouse outside of Yarmouth called Cape Forchu.  I was really happy with these photos and they are now up on Flickr.

Also I am now using hyper links more because... well I can and it's fancy haha.

Photos: Digby

Hey,

I have uploaded three photos from Digby, NS.  It is a small town on the northern coast of Nova Scotia and is known for their famous scallops.  While I was there I had amazing scallops at O'neils.  It was right on the water and it was a fishery so they sold their scallops along with other seafood.

Digby, NS - 17-55mm
 I will have photos from Yarmouth up soon.  I drove out to Cape Forchu yesterday to see the lighthouse and it was worth it.

Update & Sneak Peak

Hello,

I am now on the east coast of Canada and loving it.  Spent the day at Hopewell Rocks which is a section of the Bay of Fundy located on the New Brunswick side of the bay.  It is about 35ish km south from Moncton.  It was a great place with very friendly staff at the park.  It was a very nice park, one of the nicest provincial parks I have been too.  Definitely got my $7.75 worth (student rate).

A copious amount of photos were taken which I am currently sifting through.  I only have a macbook so I don't shoot in RAW usually because I feel my laptop will spontaneously combust if I do anything too too crazy on it.  However today because I want to do panoramas, I took some RAW photos and ended up having 400 something photos that added up to 1.9 GBs.   These were taken in the 8 hours I spent roaming the beach.  So there are a couple of photos to go through.  Also I plan on buying PTGui to do my stitching however I have bought it yet so I might do that in P.E.I. tomorrow.

So here is a sneak peak of what is to come from my trip to the Bay of Fundy:

Sea Stack B&W, Hopewell Rocks -Bay of Fundy, NB - 17-55mm

Daniel's Flats, Bay of Fundy, NB - 17-55mm
Quick taste of the photos I took.  Also it was terrible weather for taking photos of rock features so I decided a lot of the photos would have a better character in B&W since colour wasn't vital in these photos.  Normally I love colour photos over black and white but the weather wasn't behaving.  So I will make a set just for the B&W ones when I am done the edits.

Stay posted,

Tom

Update: New Shoots & East Coast Trip

Hello everyone,

I am lucky and have two shoots planned before I go on my work trip.  The shoots should be great and I am really excited for the shoots with the ideas I have.  Next week I will be leaving for the east coast hopefully which will give me some very nice landscapes I hope.  Just thought I would update everyone on what is to come!
