2nd Day of School

Hi all together.

I'm Thomas and my Nickname is Tame.
Last year I moved from Germany to Canada and I love Canada a lot. I just miss my friends and the food.

I studied Business before I came to Canada and I don't want do it again because the rules and other things is not the same. So I had to learn it again and forget what I learned.
I decided to learn something new and it's Photography. My friend had an SLR Camera and I liked it to take Pictures with it. Why I choose PrairieView is another question.
Some days I was at DonsPhoto and saw the brochure of PrairieView and I liked the Pictures. I gone to my friend and told him "Hey, did you see this nice brochure with nice Pictures in it?" "I didn't but I know where the school in Winnipeg is" answered he. "This is a brochure about a school?I didn't read it, I just looked at the pictures and thought it's a print shop or something else." After this conversation I read this book and decided to go to this school. I was scared they will not take me because of my bad English but somehow I convinced them that I can do it. So here I am.

I'm very interested in Wedding shooting and portraits because I love to work with people.
After College I want to go to Germany for one or two month and shoot some weddings.
I hope and pretty sure that in 10 month my knowledge and skills are good to take better picture and understanding how light does work.

One of my worst experience which I made was at a wedding. They paid me very well and my job was just to take Snap shoots. At the morning they had a Photographer and they got their nice poses pictures. Back to my bad and worst experience. I bought 2 weeks ago the Pentax 540 GZ because I had some problems with light and thought with a flash I will not have this problem anymore. The Wedding was on Saturday and on Friday night I checked my equipment and I recognized that my Camera broke down. Somehow it didn't read my SD Card. Can you imagine how nervous and stressed I was? On Saturday night I drove from Steinbach to Winnipeg (ca. 1 hour) and bought a new body at Future shop. Drove back home and dressed me up for wedding. I came 5 minutes earlier than the bridal couple came. At this time I couldn't check out the rooms and how bright they are. So the ceremony started and I didn't know in which condition of light I will shoot. It was horrible. Without a flash I would get only crap but the problem was I wasn't that good taking pictures with flash. I tried with bouncing flash light to shoot but it was hard. At the end of this day I got a head attack. This was my worsts experience.
