Changes, News and Technique

So you may have noticed a change to the blog. With recent fantastic events coming up I wanted a blog theme that had two sidebars to provide more information more quickly. My good friend, awesome photographer, and book writer has put the time in to guide me through and even tweak the blog to see what you do today. I hope you find it familiar, but with a sharp edge.

On top of the blog changes the fantastic news is that I will be teaching photography technique with a photo walk soon once a month for at least three months. The dates, location and details can now be found in the right panel section marked “Events.” I will have the other two dates firmly very soon. The price of admission is free so you have nothing to lose and you may just learn a lot more then you thought you knew about your photography! Plus I am there to answer all sorts of Q&A in the field as we will shoot images all along our walk.) So what are you waiting for? check it out! Go ahead I’ll wait

Excited? I sure hope so. It’s going to be a great program and I am really looking forward to meeting my readers and to share our passion. If you have any questions please let me know. I am testing the waters with these classes and your input and experiences will help shape them for the future! If turn out is high and requests for more advanced learning grows then we might just do some classes on HDR, lighting, post production who knows… The possibilities are limitless.

To put the icing on the cake I also wanted to bring you a really cool technique I performed in Photoshop. I call it Image Overlay Sequencing. It is the process of taking many photos shot in a single sequence and overlaying them within the same scene. It is exactly like the sports sequences as multiple frames are displayed as a snowboarder flies across the half pipe. Our subject today? A young bighorn sheep that descends down a cliff-side fighting gravity. How they do it amazes me. I shot many frames, but it didn’t all come together until I used this technique. I hope it pushes your photography into new areas. Let me know if the quality of the video is an issue. In the meantime I will work on a higher quality video. Enjoy!

Updated; hope it’s better. Gotta work on making that mouse movement smoother.
