Historic Acadian Village in New Brunswick - Part 4

This is my fourth post from my visit at the Historic Acadian Village this summer (www.villagehistoriqueacadien.com). I'll eventually run out of pictures and move on to something else :)

  

Historic Acadian Village in New Brunswick - Part 3

This is my third post from my visit at the Historic Acadian Village this summer (www.villagehistoriqueacadien.com).  I have not even gone through all my pictures yet, but here are a few images I took of people working there.  They have to live essentially as Acadians lived a few hundred years ago.  They have to pump their water by hand, pick their food from the gardens, fix fish nets by hand, clean sheep wool to make clothing, and the list goes on.

Historic Acadian Village in New Brunswick - Part 2

This is a second post from the gazillion pictures I took while my family and I visited the Historic Acadian Village in northern New Brunswick (www.villagehistoriqueacadien.com).  Mostly about buildings this time, but a few other things too!

Naomi is the only one in the family that doesn't mind my camera too much :)

We thought we were going to lose Caleb in the barrels of nails... he wouldn't leave them and had to examine each one of them!

Here's an example of why a flash can be very useful even in the harsh mid-day light.  This image has an over exposed background so that we can see Duke (a 34 year old horse, as tame and friendly as a puppy!).

This image was taken using my external flash.  Background can be properly exposed and subject light up with the flash.  I did not have any softbox and completely off-camera lighting, so there are a few shadows there.  But still, to me, it's a better image than the previous one...

Historic Acadian Village in New Brunswick - Part 1

My family and I visited the Historic Acadian Village in northern New Brunswick (www.villagehistoriqueacadien.com).  We spent two days there and still did not manage to get through everything.  We simply love it there! It's a great spot for photography, without a doubt.  I recently received an old external flash for my camera too (Vivitar 880AFNi). It fires correctly, but the TTL component doesn't appear to work - so I'm full manual when I use it!  It however proved to be very useful despite this.  The very dark antique houses needed extra lighting.  Bouncing the light off the ceilings usually provided extra light without appearing to be too artificial.  I messed up many shots messing around with the exposure and flash, but overall had a blast anyways - and still ended up with a few pictures I kind of liked.

Here are a few selected images of the over 750 images I took over two days.  Hopefully I will be able to post more soon.
