When Lightning Strikes

Here is a still of a timelapse I shot tonight.  Tons of lightning and tons of rain which rolled in and eventually ruined my time-lapse.

Sidewalk Sprinklers

Route 66

Just after sundown I stopped by this bridge that goes over route 66 to scout for a possible future time-lapse shot.  I'm sure not sure I'll come back for a time-lapse but we'll see.

TimeLapse Central

In the past week I've gotten tons of new timelapse gear and of course I took them out this weekend to test the new toys out at Great Falls.  The gear is a Kessler Stealth Slider, 500 series motor with controller, low profile ball head and 90 degree plate for vertical shots.  I also got a new carbon fiber Manfrotto tripod and 055 ball head.  So far, everything worked GREAT.  Here are some images from Yesterdays test shoot.  The timelapse from the still below came out perfect as a Sports Illustrated Swim Suit cover.

Cape Hatteras Time-Lapse

Here is a still image from a time-lapse I shot while in Hatteras last weekend.

Rain=no go

This was Saturday


This was the only thing worth talking about from Sunday.  Hope get get back down there soon!!

Finally-Swell, Surfing and footage

Back in June, I wrote about putting together my first surf film.  Although I've filmed surfing before and put together a few montages, this was a whole new beast to me.  We've been waiting the entire summer for a good swell and good swell is exactly what we got this week.  I've never seen waves consistantly barrelling and as big as we had today.  Kevin, Dean, Chase and others met us at the Nags Head Fishing Pier at 6am and we got started immediately.  3 cameras, more tripods than needed and a crane and 11 people were on the session.  More to come from day 2.

tons of fishing

I've been fishing a lot lately.  You need something to do while shooting time-lapse photography.

Sometimes things are better out of focus

That's right, sometimes it's cool to not be in focus.  I said it!!
