Portugal

I have been sick the past few days, so it has been hard to get out and take shots recently. Today was by far the worst day of my cold, and as such I did not get a chance to shoot anything. So instead I bring you a few shots from a trip I had taken to Portugal a few years ago. It was a fantastic trip, and I hope to go back soon!

My Top 11 of 2011

I know my top 11 of 2011 list is coming pretty late considering 2012 is already in full swing, but it was really hard for me to decide on only 11 of the shots posted last year. In order to break it down and make it a little easier, I had to force myself to omit choosing any of the photos I posted from work gigs and also any of the ones of my own family (or else all 11 shots would probably be from those!). So don't get me wrong, I think my family and paid gig shots are probably some of my best work, but I wanted to only showcase here what I thought were the top 11 random shots I took last year for my photo a day project. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne de Beaupré, Quebéc Canada

Last year we took a little trip to Quebéc City, and during that time we visited the Saint Anne de Beaupré Shrine. It was a very beautiful and rather large sanctuary that made for some fantastic natural lighting photos. Thankfully tripods were allowed, so I was able to get some very nice shots, and even a few panoramas. Enjoy!
