I’ve blogged several times about the Holga show I currently hanging in but I thought I might mention that today I was notified one of my images was included in a SL City Weekly Story. You can see the story here. Mine is the photo of the rainbow wall. (Top Left) I’m a little disappointed that there is no photo credit.
I want to tell everyone about a new book out this Christmas season called Christmas Love. It’s a great little story about how the innocent mistake of a child in a school program ends up showing the audience the true meaning of Christmas. The book was written by Candy Chan and the beautiful watercolor illustrations were done by my lovely wife, Julie. If you end up with a copy (You can get them at Deseret Book or Amazon.com) and want it signed by the illustrator, I can probably pull a few strings to get that done.
Tilt-Shift lenses aren’t new, but the idea of creating videos with them seems to be all the rage lately. I saw some great video of Sydney harbor done with one. Today, I found this one of a monster truck rally. The lens really warps the images depth of field, which screws with your mind, making you think you’re seeing toys. Thought it was cool because who hasn’t played with toy cars. check it out.

I ran across this video today and wanted to share it. I’m not the best at looking at the good parts of situations, but it is something I would like to do better.

Over the weekend my brother and I worked on this little video. He does a lot of editing in Final Cut and I’m try to learn some from him. We shot this in about an hour with a Canon 5d Mark II. (The editing took a little longer) Enjoy!
Seeing as last night I saw a 30x growth in traffic because I’ve my 5d Mark II post, I figured I’d post a few samples. Here is a video I shot of Zoe. It was overcast this morning and the wind was blowing pretty good so I took out the sound. The video was shot on the smaller of the two video settings. I’m still trying to figure out the video settings. For instance, I’m not sure how the focus really works.
The compression on Youtube doesn’t really do it justice. I’m going to have to play a bit more and post it on Vimeo or something.
My new Canon 5d Mark II finally arrived. I’m so excited. This new camera gives me 21 megapixel images, full frame censor, ISO expansion, and HD video. Can’t wait to start playing. However, seeing as the camera just hit the market, I figured I’d share the unboxing with all who haven’t been able to get their hands on one.
I’ll be posting images and video from the new camera later tonight.
Tonight I spent a few hours photographing a slew of geckos for some friends of mine who are starting an online store. You can check it out here. There were fat-tailed geckos, albino geckos, super albino geckos; we shot a ton. This was one of the cooler guys. He’s an Austrailian Knob-tailed gecko.
A friend of mine, Ryan, invited me to join him at his studio yesterday for a photo shoot. He is working on a series of fitness images. I really enjoyed being in the studio and wish I had more space to play with studio lighting. Besides helping to get the shoot set up, Ryan let me jump in for a few shots. (Thanks again Ryan) Here are a couple of the images I was able to produce.
