2 Clips are First Responders

I was fighting with my conscience on shooting this footoage.  There was a traffic accident near my house that was drawing a crowd.  I mentioned to my wife that I had always thought that offering footage of emergency vehicles would be a good idea since the footage is used in PSAs and other well meaning media. My idea was to stop by fire halls or police stations and ask for close-ups of some of the vehicles, or ride-along on trainings, not poach real accidents.  I decided that if I shoot with a focus not so much on the detail, but the feel of the scene, I would be able to sleep at night.  This would make a great background for informational text in videos, or to set the mood for more serious projects.  I have included a clean shot, and well as one that is a little more "voyeuristic".

This was also the test run for my old 35mm MD mount lens using my new adapter for my T2i.  I think it looks pretty good!

1 Clip is Watching the Tide Roll Away

I found this dock and a few next to it on a walk to other day.  I love at how rusty the rails are and the clouds were just perfect. 

I did this HDR shot a little differen by processing the images twice.  The second pass with the original files, I offset the whole series by 1.  This gave me twice as many frames to work with.  I will try to detail this process in another post, but it has gotten me excited about doing more.

Small Equipment Update for Everybody

Hey Everybody,

Work has been busy for me lately, but I have a few clips I'm going to be uploading very soon.  I also just ordered a Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - Minolta MD to Canon EOS Camera Adapter for shooting. This will hopefully give me even more flexibility. I have plenty of 35mm MD lenses that I would love to try out on my T2i (When is the T4i coming out anyways?!?!?!).

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DONATED!!!!!! 

Every donation improves the quality of the footage offered, and the speed that I am able to get it to you.  This adapter will also be added to my Gear I Use page to keep you guys updated on what I use to do what I do.

1 Clips is Prismatic

Made this looping background after I had the idea of layering primary colors using different blending effects in After Effects.  I thought it turned out pretty cool.  Enjoy!

Great Deal today on SDHC and SDXC memory Cards (4/2/12)

Hey Everyone,

I have posted this deal on the Facebook Fan page as well, but wanted to make sure everyone is aware of it.  Today (April 2, 2012) Amazon has for their Gold Box Deal Sandisk Ultra Class 10 Memory Cards.  These are perfect for DSLR shooting.  Personally, I have my eye on the 64gb SDXC.  I don't have anything right now over 16GB and I fill those up with my time  lapses quickly.  I think if I get the 64gb SDXC Card, I can try my hand at RAW HDR Time Lapses. (LOTS OF PICTURES).  Now if only my computer can handle processing them ...
