Yeah, its an Ad, but I’m a sucker for hyperlaps / timelaps / Australia.
Shot mostly in Tazzie over the space of a week.
Worth it for the oh so brief look at the Southern Cross – I really miss that constellation.

Book Cover.
A husband of a co-worker has written a book and they asked me to take the cover photo for said book.
So we did.
And its been printed.If you click on the book on the left, and scroll all the way down in that new window that opens, you can see the photo credit on the inside jacket.
Talk about commitment to your book… thats the side of their house!
Mary (my co-worker) spray painted all the stuff on the house. Its all references from the story.
We took a few photos, some in the day and some a night.
The night ones were the best, so we messed about with them the most.
We had his car shining its lights on the wall etc.
In the end we just used my LED torch. Opened the shutter for about 20 seconds and painted the light where we wanted it.
For the shot on the back cover with the gun, we got Dave (the author) to hold his gun up and Freddy shone our big spotlight on that while I painted the rest of the wall the way we wanted.
Its in black and white because the two torches had different color bulbs.The best part? He paid me in red wine…… Just kidding, the best part was that it was a lot of fun and we helped out a friend with some photography.
Pretty cool
(And no, I have not read the book as yet. Freddy has).
He is almost done writing another (sort of a follow up) book and has asked me to take that cover photo as well….. Wonder if he will pay me in red wine again…

Never thought I would see that
Spent the best part of a week in Bellingham Washington a few weeks back.
It was Ok. (Did not see much of the town, just the inside of the air-con of their newest supermarket).
The thing is, on the way up, not only did I get to fly in a twin turboprop for the first time ever, but we ended up flying past Mount St Helens…. and I was on the right side of the plane to catch it. Nice coincidence.Proof. (of both)
That is a really big chunk of dirt that got shifted.
Its one thing to read about it, its a whole ‘nother thing to see it.
I clearly remember this happening in 1980, and I remember reading about the photographer that died protecting his film at the time (I was 14 and just starting to get into photography).So, it was pretty amazing to see it, and it is definitely something I never, ever (ever) thought I would see.

Back yard time clock time lapse test.
48 seconds of your life…. what’s 48 seconds between friends?
One of the guys at work modified a 24 hour time clock for me, he put a tripod thread on the main output gear.
Sat the clock on the coffee table on the back patio, screwed on the Canon 40d and let her rip for about 11 hours taking a frame every 30 seconds.This is the result, and for the most part, I am happy.
Its a bit jerky, taking frames more often than every 30 seconds would help with that I suspect.
For the most part, it was a test of the time clock, the pan rate was hard for me to visualize, but I really like it. For long time spans, its really nice to have such a smooth pan of the camera…. I just don’t think the backyard is all that exciting, but the concept is what’s important….. Its my first ever moving time lapse!And its important for me to share it with you lot…. so shut up and be impressed!
(Dad, don’t worry about trying to get it down, I will bring it on a USB stick when I come over).
