Di Fruscia Photography at Stranger in the Night 8

Thursday, August 23, 2012 Posted inPhotography

Terribly Sorry for not being active lately, I promise to be back full force in September. I was busy with various projects and home renovations. One of these great project is, me getting involve with Stranger in the Night 8, A Great Charity

 event taking place this weekend. I will be donating one of my fine art frame for auction for the Starlight Children’s Foundation: Most of us are physically healthy and able to enjoy and participate in many activities like sporting and cultural events, parties and family gatherings. Now imagine how different those experiences might be if you were challenged with a serious illness. You might be confined to a hospital bed, separated from friends and family. You might be slowed by crutches or a wheelchair. You might spend lonely nights with little to take your mind off the pain.

Starlight Children’s Foundation tries to take away some of that pain. Since 1989, Starlight Children’s Foundation has enhanced the lives of countless children and their families across Canada. By granting wishes, providing state-of-the-art Fun Centers for audiovisual entertainment in pediatric hospitals, as well as the Hospital Happenings program offering great parties, shows, activity kits and crafts to young patients, and the Great Escapes program inviting children and their families to unique monthly outings, over 21,000 children now benefit from the Foundation’s services in Canada each month, with over 5,000 in Quebec. Services are provided for children with serious, chronic or life threatening illnesses, aged 4 – 18 years. The Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada has chapters in Montreal and Toronto, as well as expansion committees in Vancouver and Ottawa. The Starlight international headquarters are located in Los Angeles. Stephen Spielberg is President Emeritus of Starlight Children’s Foundation. With Starlight chapters worldwide, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and Canada, we brighten the lives of over 85,000 sick children every month.

If you happen to be at the event drop by my small gallery, It would be great to met you.:)If you are interested to know more about the event, follow this link http://strangersinthenight.ca/index.html

The wolrd is wonderfully captured within each of your pictures. Coming from the Quebec province, I really can appreciate how your brought forth the beauty and majesty of ”Le Rocher Percé”. Could you comment on some of the techniques & tools you used to get the right amount of light in both the foreground and background of your pictures? Do you use any flash at all? What is your typical aperture for landscapes such as the Perce Rock where you are that far from the main focal point? How much do you compensate with ISO and shutter speet? Thank you so much for your imput. I am an amateur photographer, now located in Toronto. Do you give workshops?

Land of the Forgiven – Gjógv, Faroe Islands

Friday, July 6, 2012 Posted inPhotography

Another shot taken from my recent trip in the beautiful Faroe Islands. One thing that one must learn when visiting such a place, is to be able to adapt quickly to the ever changing weather conditions. There is a saying that both icelandic and Faroese people have adopted and it goes like this….” If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change” having visited both countries I can honest say that there is definite truth to that saying. Here I had to adapt to windy and rainy conditions in order to capture this shot. Constantly having to wipe raindrops from my lens and large filters while making sure my light Gitzo tripod wouldn’t tip over because of the strong winds made capturing this shot very challenging. I have several shot that I had to get rid of because of that but very happy to have managed to capture this one.

Tech Spec: Canon 5D MK II, Nikon 14-24 F2.8, F18, 3sec, LEE SW150 Filter Holder, 0.9 (3 Stop) Soft ND Grad, Cavision 6×6 Linear Glass Polarizer and a lot of patience.

Frederick H Claflin - July 11, 2012 - 12:28 am

Nice image Patrick….I thought it interesting that you used a Cavision 6×6 Linear Glass Polarizer. I have used it for large format but not digital, maybe because of the bubble in front of your Nikon wide angle. My digital is also the 5D MK II and between you and Adamus I am leaning to get that 14-24, looks like it has a huge sweet spot.

Patrick Di Fruscia - July 11, 2012 - 3:15 am

Hi Fred, You will love it..and yes that is why I used the Cavision 6×6 , only polarizer that I found that would work with the 14-24

Cindy Aasland - July 16, 2012 - 2:59 am

I really like this beautiful picture. It feels like I am there!

Patrick Di Fruscia - July 16, 2012 - 11:18 pm

Thank you very much Cindy :)

A beautiful picture! I really like your photographing :D I like to photograph the nature and architecture, but I’m not half as good as you are. I hope that one day I will be so great like you :) you are one of the photographers that inspire me! Keep up the good work.

Patrick Di Fruscia - August 1, 2012 - 4:06 am

Thank you Lene, I am sure you will attain your goal in no time..Just keep working hard at it..If you are passionate, it will happen ;)

Michael J. Flaherty - September 19, 2012 - 8:42 pm

Awesome image & I really like the way it’s framed on your page. I’m impressed not only by your photography but by how beautiful your site is. Really wish I could afford that 14-24; it’s been on my wish list for quite some time.

Anonymous - October 12, 2012 - 11:20 am

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your amazing photos with us… A technical question: why have u used a Linear Polarizer instead of a circular one?

Patrick Di Fruscia - January 17, 2013 - 4:19 am

Pretty simple, Because I couldn’t find a circular polarizer that would fit on the Nikon 14-24 Lens ;)

Stefaan Van der Donck - April 12, 2013 - 4:59 pm

Superb shot, the Faroe Islands looks like a wonderfull place for photography, thanks for sharing Patrick!
