A Trip to the Zoo

Fun day at the zoo with our niece and nephew.

Had a good day practicing some "run and gun" with the T2i. That kid is hard to keep up with sometimes!



The music belongs to Green Day and Foo Fighters, respectively.

Grandpa's Horse

Caden loves him some horses. That and wreaking havoc indoors. He loves both in equal parts.

Windy Day



Another test run with the T2i. Some weird color grading. Learning the ropes.

Butch Walker, thank you for this quiet, beautiful music.

Just Another Day in Suburbia...

I got bored again today, and decided to take some pictures of the houses and mountains behind our place. A barbwire fence prevented me from getting closer, so I made do the best I could. I color graded these in Photoshop.

My Neighbors

Just a little video of my neighbors around the corner.



This little gem is some initial test footage with my new camera. It is a Canon T2i, a piece of equipment that, considering its main use is still photography, takes very nice video. The controls are all manual in video mode, which takes getting used to. So this video is far from perfection, but I'm in learning phase right now with the camera. I color graded these shots a bit, and not all entirely the same, so if you notice changes between the shots, you are not going crazy. The song belongs to John Mayer, and whoever he dealt with while recording... Either way, it ain't mine.







I also took a few pictures of the horses, you know, to let the machine fulfill the measure of its creation. It takes wonderful pictures, or I could say I take wonderful pictures... Truth be told, any goodness in these photographs has nothing to do with me. It does have to do with great characters and the camera. I color graded them in Photoshop as well, so the style changes depending on the picture. I had a fun day experimenting with my new toy, and I will be continuing this process as often as I can. Practice makes perfect, after all...
