M&A stoke

stoked on finally getting a decent tripod, slider, and 50mm 1.4. Also stoked to use it all for a wedding im shooting in a couple weeks. good times
 
Now that I have pocketwizards, I can use one of these bad boys to hypersync! Found one for $100 shipped, figured why not mess around and get something cool to work

Finally got the call for my 14-24mm order, huge shout out to Nikon Canada for air shipping it to me so I'll have it before I leave to S.E. Asia on Sunday.
 
I'm stoked but a little nervous traveling with such a lens where the there's no way to really protect the front element haha
 
As much as I'd love to carry around that small setup, I don't think it would make me look professional enough. I want EVERYONE to know I'm a protographer and have expensive gear!!
 
wow finally just watched this and that was super sick. there is just somethin about a well composed static shot that makes a video seem super polished and crisp. that one of the mountain with the lake reflection was money
 


Every 5 years, Rouen (France) welcomes an Armada of at least 40 military vessels. Vessels which made pride and history of some countries. Today most of these ships are school or prestigious cruise ships.

I was fortunate to attend the 2013 edition.

I must apologize for the shaky footage and low quality compostion but I wasn't intending to make a quality edit about this event, I wasn't even thinking of making one all together. But here's the most basic and factual video about the Armada which I'd like to share.

Shot on Canon 5Dmk II + 25-105mm

Edited on Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

3 events in 3 days traveling NJ -> MA -> NJ was GNARLY to say the least..

SOOOOOO relieved to be done editing this project! Stoked with how it turned out, especially with it being the longest concert piece I've ever shot/edited. I'm also currently compiling a timelapse of the entire post-production process - 45,980 screenshots, one taken every 5 seconds, so just over 63 hours total of post-production.

Please let me know what you think!

 
I see so many people stoked about film. What the hell is the point, unless you're shooting medium format or something? just get a used 5D and save yourself the money.
 
my big draw was that it's fun. every time i've gotten film developed its been at least a month later and i have since forgotten a bunch of the shots on the roll. it's sparked me to buy my own development chemicals too, it's just a fun and interesting process.

plus a used 5d? wtf are you talking about? all of the film i've bought, 2 cameras, lenses, and development supplies will probably not reach the cost of a used 5d in at least a few years (and that's only if i get more into it than i am).
 
Lol, everything Logan said plus:

-film is extremely rewarding since it is such a slower and more extensive process

-It's fun

-relativly cheap

-teaches better technical photographic skills than digital photography

-it's the cool thing to do

-many people try to fabricate a film style using photoshop and such, it's much easier to just use film
 
1. Process is a huge part of the photographic experience. Film teaches you to know the light before you press the shutter, and because you aren't distracted with incessant LCD checks, it forces you to live in the moment more. As with everything in life, eliminating the "burden" of patience yields an inferior product. And the biggest for me personally: little to no time is required on the computer to produce astounding results (fuck computers).

2. Technologically, film has huge advantages over digital in bright light. Highlight rolloff is graceful and organic, higher native DR, non-logarithmic color casts throughout the tonal spectrum - I could go on for days.
 
Antistoke:

For some reason my 17-50 is flaring way more than it did before, any ideas why anyone? I mean I know it's pointed directly at candles, but it wouldn't do that before

& annoyed my 70-210 f4 is unusably soft at f/4, and unusable until f/8 without removing purple fringing, this is at f/5.6 and it's way too obvious at full res, pretty annoying but oh well.

Maybe because it's a shitty $300 lens with really cheep optics?!?! Seriously, do you expect that thing to not flare?

Got a bunch of gear yesterday! Soft boxes,reflectors,pocket wizard 3 (3 of them), Sekonik L758 meter, canon 600ex-rt speedlight, bamboo tablet, light stands, etc.
 
flying out to Colorado for a wedding and I'm just bringing my t2i and 50mm super tak. stoked to get some shots and for a hell of a week coming up
 
Yummm

Heading to NYC tomorrow! Going to be an awesome next few weeks

NYC -> Boston -> Maine -> Bozeman -> Yellowstone -> Jackson Hole -> Maine -> Montreal(?)
 
Wow... No friggin' way.

That's EXACTLY what I did last year.

NYC -> Maine -> Boston (when I was trying to meet up with you) -> Bozeman (half a year) -> Jackson Hole -> Amsterdam

 
For the most part! My cousin is getting married in Jackson so that's why I'm heading west, family decided to head out early to do yellowstone.

I'm actually meeting up with NS'ers at every stop. Well actually got to find someone in NYC to meet up with.... I'm on the bus now
