The Northern Neck

I went down to the Northern neck this AM to scout future timelapse spots.  I found a boat load of great spots and shot some too, but I'm not releasing any more timelpase images until my project is %100 complete.  Until then, here's an abandoned house I saw off the road.  I'm not sure you can tell but this thing is one pinky push from falling over.

Going back to the Whales Vagina

I would hope everyone who reads my blog understands the joke behind "The Whales Vagina".  If you don't, you better sit your ass in front of a TV and watch Anchorman.  Anyway, I'll be heading to San Diego next week for a very interesting shoot.  It will a first for me on many levels.  You'll see pics and video shortly after.

Kind of a big deal but not really

If you're familiar with the Outer Banks in NC you've heard the words "Currituck" and "Cape Hatteras". So when seeing this intersection you would think it would be a big deal but it's tucked away in an abandoned neighborhood washed away by Hurricane Sandy.

MORE OBX-OMG

I'm off to San Diego in a week for a filming project.  Until then, you're stuck with more pics from Hatteras.

I still have it

well not really because I have a sprained knee but it was good to mess around on this little Bart Simpson style board.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

Here's a still from a timelapse with the Hatteras Lighthouse off in the distance.

Long Exposed Morning

This is a pretty famous surf spot down in Hatteras.  It's about 400 yards from the Hatteras Lighthouse.

Black and White is cool again

I've been loving lots of black and white lately.

Timelapse MANIA

In order to complete a timelapse project you need to shoot a lot of timelapses (if that's a word).  I should shoot a timelapse of me waiting for my camera to finish shooting each timelapse.  I went to Cape Hatteras this past weekend for 2 reasons.  To shoot surfing and timelapse stuff.  Waves were topping off around 18' 2 weeks ago but this past weekend it was pretty flat so I shot all timelapse stuff and a few odds and ends to pass the time.  I rented the Canon 14mm 2.8L Prime lens and I must say, it's the sharpest wide I've pulled photos off the camera and seen.  It's almost like photoshop isn't needed with this lens.

Image 100 of 320.  The clouds formed pretty shitty after about 2 hours in and it kind of ruined the shot.  

The light at the bottom is the light from the light house that's about a mile away.  

Sunrise timelapse on the point of Buxton, NC.  

Another Sunrise with these old columns.  The shitty thing is my camera was set up so close to the water and the winds were at 40mph, salt was flying all over the lens so you can see it a little in the timelapse but I'm confident that I can edit it in post.  we'll see.

Sunset on the sound with 40+MPH winds.  I'm amazed the wind didn't shake the camera.  

Old People Club

There must have been an event because lots of old people were leaving a very pimped out looking Kennedy Center Saturday night.  This is a still from a timelapse I shot on top of one of the fountains.

Sometimes Random Works

After filming my pacers shoot on Saturday I headed downtown to get a few timelapse shots.  one was a redo that I messed up last Fall and the others were planned BUT on my way to Georgtown, I decided to stop by the Kennedy Center to see what's up.  I got lucky and found a great parking spot and shot away looking at the Rock Creek Parkway and Georgtown form a distance.

Running around this weekend

I had 2 races to cover for Pacers this weekend.  I shot mostly video and some time-lapse stuff then I did personal timelapse work until 11pm last night.   Here are some stills I snapped in between the timelapse stuff and video.
AND WE'RE OFF


ONE WAY!!

Dropping

When a spot isn't skatable in a skaters eyes, it's always good to at least have some fun.

Back Country Essentials

You never know what you'll experience miles away from a lift so packing light but smart is the most important thing.  My daily pack while in Zermatt, Switzerland consisted of camera, lenses, batteries, Cliff Bars and walkie-talkie.  I usually took water from Jeff's supply. Others had avalanche shovels and random tools.

It seems the closer you go to the Matterhorn, the colder and windier it was.  Any exposed skin you were  hating life.


Justin and I about to drop into one of the most avalanched lines in Zermatt. Said some guy that hopped in a gondola with me the day before.  I think he worked for AIR Zermatt.  He sounded like he knew his shit and he had an AIR Zermatt jacket on.
