Timelapse-Cactus Clouds

2012-03-28T22:42:45Z

I've been diving into time-lapse lately and have been accumulating a few videos. It's time to throw them out there and start sharing them. Here is a video from a month ago I did on a fairly windy day. I stumbled on these great cactuses and of course had to attempt a time-lapse. (For larger screen click on the Vimeo button)

For those that are interested in behind the scenes videos, I shot one just for you. As you will see the time-lapse was shot with a Nikon D90 with a 24-70mm lens attached. The intervalometer was programmed to take a shot every 4 seconds. I shot the frames in RAW for more latitude during post-processing. Something I didn't mention in the video was my post processing workflow. The images were processed in Lightroom and deflickering was accomplished using LRtimelapse. This is a new workflow to me so I am still figuring it out but it seemed to work pretty good. I had some serious flickering before I ran it through LRtimelapse. Here is the BTS:

Star Gazing Timelapse

For my birthday my wonderful wife planned a star gazing party above the city. She knows I love this stuff. I did a timelapse over the 2+ hours we were up there. Here it is:

Backpacking Wonder

2012-02-02T07:32:21Z

This is one of my favorite images from a recent backpacking trip to the Russian Wilderness in the Klamath Mountains. We caught a break in the weather during this January "winter." It's a very dry year. A local we ran into said "we should have ten feet of snow right now." I would love to return some day to see that! My brother served as my model/subject this trip as we explored the area that included frozen lakes and beautiful skylines.

I pulled up some images I did when I was in Portland this summer. I'm realizing how much I think I like to do street photography. Be ready to see more street photography coming out of this camp here soon! What kinds of photos do you like to take? Hit me up in the comments!

There has been talk of these amazing new mobile phones eventually eliminating the small camera market. I'm here to tell you it has Destroyed this market already in my mind. This was shot, edited, and posted on an iPhone. How cool is this.

Welin Brothers

2011-05-24T18:36:43Z

This is the second installment of a personal project I am currently working on of underground creatives, if you will. These are talented, inspiring, and/or creative people that you would maybe never hear of otherwise.

The Welin brothers, besides being some of the nicest guys you will ever meet, are amazing musicians in their own right. With their undeniable passion for music and years of practice devoted to it, they have inspired me, and were a must-have for this project.

This is the start of a personal project photographing amazing friends and people I know. These are people that you may have never heard of but are doing creative and inspiring things as we speak.

My first subject is not only my friend but my sister as well. Her talents range from clothing and accessory design to painting, floral work, cake decorating, and everything in between.

Give it up for my sis, Katie.
