HDR Monday
Been messing with realistic looking HDR photography as of lately. Here is a pretty satisfying attempt:
Recent Photos
I’ve been busy plugging away at a small documentary I’m writing/filming/editing, in addition to my full-time gig and taking advantage of some non-photo/video related time, I haven’t had much time to post anything. Here are some recent photos I’ve finally gotten around to editing:
Timelapsed: Super Bowl
I’ll admit that in my travels to bigger cities, upon my return to Indianapolis I’ve been quick to address its flaws and how much better off the city would be with this or with that. Last week the Super Bowl came to town and I was filled with a different feeling about my home city, pride. Indianapolis put together a spectacle that was truly something for all Indianapolisonians (spelling?) to be proud of their city for. It brought together workers, volunteers, artists, and it’s welcoming citizens to show the world what the city has to offer. Indianapolis, you’re beautiful.
Side note: An individual with measles did attend on the most crowded night. Some people just don’t think things through.
Work in Progress: 1/31/2012
A little preview of what I’m working on while the Super Bowl is in town.
SFO Vacation
San Francisco is easily one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. and I must say it was difficult restraining myself from snapping photos of everything while we were there. Here are a few that I snapped while we walked, biked, drove, and commuted all around the city:
Our home for the week.
Outer Sunset.
Grand View Park. In the distance Golden Gate Park and further on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sutro Baths remnants.

Friendly Fires – ‘Hurting’ – Fan Made Video
I lent my filming, After Effects, and coloring skills recently to help my friend, Daniel Arthur, with a music video for the band Friendly Fires. It was my first time using the Glidecam outside of a test scenario and to my advantage, we didn’t use it for any technical tracking shots. All of the game-play and dance sequences with camera moves used the Glidecam and were shot at 60fps, then slowed to 23.98. Working without a budget, we didn’t have the option to light with anything other than a small reflector, and the harsh mid-day sun degraded the picture quality of some of the scenes. Outside of that obstacle the video turned out really well and it was a fun day working with great friends. Check it out:
