Just helping ya out.

I’ve pretty much only bought used stuff. If you can take a look at it before purchase to make sure the lens is in good shape and the body doesn’t look beat up that is ideal. Some folks like to see how many shutter actuations a camera has had to get an idea of how much use its seen. Not sure how that applies with MLCs. I hear good things about…[Read more]

I’m going to try to explain some of the confusing terminology of photography so you know what the jargon means. I’m hoping this helps you make a choice, if you already are familiar with all of this, sorry.

To be able to adjust most of this you will need a camera with manual controls available.

So, if you want to shoot in low light you need to be…[Read more]

I understand why you would randomize the winners, but with a video contest, doesn’t it make more sense to actually go based on the quality of the video? I still don’t think I would have won, but maybe its something to think about for next time? Its not too hard to put up a poll and let forum users vote on it.

Whats the word on that second winner?

I’ve got an Olympus OMD EM-5 that I really like, but its focus tracking isn’t so good for action shots. The new EM-10 and EM-1 do that better, but I think the EM10 might be closer to your price range. The EM-5 and EM-1 are weather sealed, so you can take them out and not worry about snow or rain ruining the camera. Pretty small and light too,…[Read more]

Bump and another video. I actually used a GoPole accessory in this one. The apparently discontinued 36″ pole.

Warning- some ski content

I moved a little further away from the snow this year, but I’ll play. I made this video using my GoPro and a few other toys in Santiago Chile over two weeks around New Year’s eve.

Can’t wait for these trails to be ready to go. Put this little video together late last fall.

I used to know how to embed these, but I guess I forgot.

Shredgnar, I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling right now. I’m…[Read more]

Names released.

One guy worked for my roommate for years. Fuck.

My thoughts and prayers to the families.

No, He checked in on facebook. Just not on your post.

This is still likely to hit way too close to home.

Another thread on this. Sounds like splitters from the Rocky Mountain Backcountry Gathering.

This one is going to hurt.

Nice work Kyle. Talk about Murphy’s law though. Glad you made it through that adventure unscathed.

Found this cool tutorial on creativecow.net

This tutorial seems to assume you have a little bit high level of experience with Adobe Creative Suite, but it has a lot of good information in it.

Using Bridge and After Effects to create time lapses:

Turns out CineForm Studio has a very simple way of creating timelapses from still images. Free software too. It doesn’t do a whole lot else though. I would post my most recent attempt, but its pretty boring, so I haven’t uploaded it.

I’m learning this too. My preference would be to shoot RAW just for versatility in post. I can shop out any noise, adjust my levels to get the best images and then export them as JPGs out to my video editor. Of course, this depends on what kind of a computer you are working with, and whether or not you’ve got the juice to handle that much data…[Read more]

I haven’t seen it yet either, but I’ll guess overhead blower pow in Japan.

Can’t wait to see this.

I worked at the summer camp for Woodward at Copper this summer. Hitting the trampolines and foam pits is super fun. Beats you up more than you might expect though.
