Gearing up for some really great photography

This weekend is going to be a great weekend for my photography. One Saturday, the Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens will be starting off the season with a midnight showing. The gardens are simply one of the most beautiful and tranquil areas in Lethbridge and at 15 dollars for a season pass, pretty economical as well. I fully expect to use up both of my memory cards and a few rolls of film Saturday evening as I plan to be there from just before sundown until well after nightfall. I hope the weather is conducive to good photography, nice clean light with a few clouds to add some splash to the sky. After it gets dark I couldn't care less what the sky wants to do.

In other photography news, I'm trying to get in contact with a printing company out of Calgary, Alberta that furnishes Lethbridge's Museums and other tourist outposts with postcards for us and other parts of Southern Alberta. I'd like to try and sell a few images. I think I could get it done because, to be perfectly frank, the stuff they have now is total crap. All of them are photos in harsh midday sun with dark long shadows and uninteresting angles. Any silly bugger with a point n' click could have done them. I'm confident I can outdo them. Add into the mix that I can also do lots of digital manipulation and enhancement, well . . . you see where I'm going with this. The only question is how best to set about doing this. I have a few ideas, but I'm not certain the contact information I have is going to lead anywhere. I wish they were a local company and I could meet in person, but through the wires is about the best I can manage now.
