How To Give Yourself Stitches? No doubt if I had to I'd give it a try. But not for this cut and not with a hospital only a few miles away. My doctor ended up sewing me up after a wayward box cutter sliced through my leg while I was dismantling cardboard boxes for disposal. Not much is sacred when it comes to getting a shot for stock, least of all my own leg sporting these nicely crafted stitches.

Here's Nadia running around our backyard catching flakes of snow a couple of winters ago. Appeared on the Philadelphia News site.

]]>Low Light -- Available Light with the 5D2http://zanyzeus.ca/photo-journal/2009/4/28/low-light-available-light-with-the-5d2.htmlPeter Chigmaroff2009-04-28T21:54:10ZMeet Tracy, a wonderfully talented actress I had the opportunity (for the second time) to photograph. We spent last Sunday afternoon wandering around Vancouver making photographs. Outside was bright and sunny and inside we used whatever light source was available. I used no light modifiers or reflectors, all images were taken hand held. ISO settings ran from 200 for street level shots to 2000 for interiors. I find it amazing that I can shoot hand held with no extra lighting in a subway or moving on an escalator indoors. There's noise but it's at a level that makes the image very usable.

Tracy will be playing Sgt. Peele in Stargate Universe starting this fall on the Space Channel. I look forward to seeing her there.
