A large number of people came by the booth to talk about their passion for photography and their desire to enrol in our programming. We encouraged them to complete their entrance packages and ensure that they have the prerequisites. Here is one guest speaking to the program chair, Randy Zutter, about the tremendous programming that NAIT has to offer.

McBain's Photo Expo
This past Sunday, October 30th, NAIT participated in a Photographic Tradeshow hosted by McBain's camera. The event was very successful and all people, from presenters to exhibitors to the general public seemed to have a great time. This was a gathering of likeminded people who love photography. Some came to listen to speakers, while others came to see cool new gear. Other's came to speak with great schools of photography like NAIT.

2nd Year Portable Flash Assignment
Our second years are well on their way in learning portrait lighting basics and how to apply them. With fall almost over they have explored the use of portable flash and how to apply it in an ambient environment. They are beginning to understand how they can control any situation and mold it to fit their own interpretive style with use of shutter speed and aperture. This assignment called for the use of two portable flashes to be used as they saw fit either on-location, outdoors or in the studio. One half of the class (Group A) has handed their assignments in and been marked. Watch for an updated posting with Group B's interpretation.
Outdoor portrait season all done
Our second year students have been busy taking advantage of the warm, sunny fall weather taking outdoor portraits for their 3rd portrait assignment. The assignment was based on interpreting natural light and how it can be supplemented with reflectors in an additive or subtractive way or with portable flash. As we all know this can be a testy situation with the sun peaking in and out of clouds, weather changing etc. I am proud to say they all survived the ordeal and are now seasoned pros at shooting outdoor portraits. Below please find (4) students varied interpretation of "Outdoor Portrait". Enjoy!

Big Shoot 2011/12
Well, our year one and year two photography students pulled it off again! The Big Shoot has been a tremendous success! From concept to shooting, and editing to printing this image exudes the Archie Andrews theme we were going for. Way to go students.
Our Open House is starting today and we welcome all visitors and prospective students to this great event. Our students have put on quite the display of prints from their work over the past two years. There is a great deal of talent in our midst and we are always willing to share our talents with the public.
Please stop by our Big Shoot room to see the set-up and maybe get a chance to chat with an Archie character or two. You can also come and see our display in the NAIT gym. Chat with current students and staff about your passion for photography. There might be a place for you in our program. We will be around from 9-3 on Friday and from 10-3 on Saturday, on October 14th and 15th.
For those of you who enjoy the processes found within the editing of an image. This video is for you. Enjoy watching this image evolve from beginning to end.
Let's take a close look at this image. We can see that Archie Andrews is up to his old tricks. On one arm he has the lovely and wholesome Betty while that vixen, Veronica, is certainly catching his eye! What will Archie do? That is the question for the ages. Archie cannot get advice from Jughead as we can also see, he is oblivious to anything outside of food. Less competition, Archie but no love life help! Good luck with that decision....maybe you can remember who Archie ended up marrying?
