South Atlanta Flickr Meet - Season's Bistro
I hadn't been out to one of these meets in a while. When it was posted that it would be a theme and possible some old vehicles, I knew I had to be there.
Triathlete Shoot Part 3
Finishing the year's last blog post with a bang. A little behind the scenes (BTS) video of the triathlete shoots. Had a lot of great shoots this year and lots of great clients. Looking forward to 2011 and seeing what kind of images I can create.
I also started a separate triathlon blog that I'll be sharing my own training and race experiences. This will be my second year, but I still consider myself a beginner. I'm ramping up the training and race distance in 2011 and will have a lot to share through my triathlon journey. Head on over and check that out.
Hope everyone had a great 2010. Wishing everyone an even better 2011!

An Evening with Zack Arias & Joe McNally
A couple times a year, Zack will open up his studio to the photographic community. Most times, it's just the local community mixing with a several workshop attendees from out of town. Recently he's had Syl Arena and tonight he had Joe McNally in studio. If you don't know who Joe McNally is, you should, look him up.
Bike MS Video Slideshow
It's been a while since I've posted a video/slideshow. With a full day of shooting and great shots, it's hard to post all of them on a blog, not to mention how long it would take to download.
I'm not crazy about some of the slideshow programs that make putting something like this a whole lot easier. I've used iPhoto in the past, but it only supports standard definition and lacks the kind of control that I want. I haven't upgraded to the latest version and I haven't found additional reasons to upgrade beyond HD support.
The video was put together using Adobe Premiere CS4. It took me a couple days to go through almost 1,000 images, trim them, sequence them and edit the full video. It's not difficult, just takes a lot of time. I was also going to use "Bicycle Race" by Queen for the soundtrack. Even though I purchased it on iTunes, it's rights protected and could not bring it into Premiere (iTunes would not allow me to convert to an AIFF file). Yes, there are ways around it, but I don't need to deal with legal issues. Instead, I used "Stylo" by Smooth Jazz All Stars, a remake of the Gorillaz original. Since I could convert it to an AIFF file within iTunes, I used it for this piece. I'll be looking at royalty free music for future video projects. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video.
