Welcome To Barbara McKenzie Photography

This is my first posting to my blog and it's going to take me a bit to get into the swing of how thing works so please keep with me while I work out all the kinks.

I've decided to start this blog so I can start to showcase some of my photography as I begin my Professional Photography training later this year with Harry Nowell.  I've got a Photography at Night workshop scheduled on December 6th with Ottawa Photo Safari (Ray Pilon) and a live action workshop scheduled in February with Harry where we photograph our local hockey team the Ottawa 67's.  Looking forward to both workshops as I've never had alot of exposure to either technique.

Right now, I'm practicing as much as I can with my camera.  I've got a couple of friends that do photography as well and both are inspirations to me because of the amazing talent they have.  When I grow up, I want to take pictures like them!!

I hope you enjoy my blog.  Comments and suggestions are always welcome.  This picture was one of the very first I took with my new DSLR Nikon D3000.  I think I've come a long way in a year.  Below is a picture I recently took in the fall here in Ottawa at Beechwood Cemetary.

About Me

My photo
Ottawa, Canada
My family moved from Oakville, Ontario to Pembroke, Ontario in 1976 and from the moment I arrived in the little town of Pembroke my goal was to leave but with being 7 years old I had a number of years to wait. Attending Champlain High School and trying to decide my future, I was determined to go to Sheridan College in Oakville and take the Journalism Program there. I took a Co-op credit through High School and did my work experience at a local Pembroke weekly newspaper where they gave me a notepad, a pen, a camera and sent me out in the vast city of Pembroke. My favourite weekly task was to go to the local human society and take a picture of the Pet of Week. I actually loved my time working on the paper but the photography portion interested me more than the writing. My Journalism dreams didn’t happened but my love of photography carried with me but in the past few years I’ve started to become more and more interested in the technique of photography and in 2009 I received my first DSLR camera and have become a photography junkie. I’m hoping you enjoy following this blog and watch my love for photography grow with each posting.
