Just thought I would send a little update on something new I’ve been working in to my Random Photography offerings – VIDEO!

As most of you know I’ve been primarily a still and action photographer during my 8 years of owning my own business. But we all should be continuing to grow and change, right? So it has been, and continues to be, a fun learning experience – shooting video is quite a bit different than still photography I’m finding. Mostly, it’s a different way of thinking – you have to think and see in “motion”.  And while rarely a factor in still photography, audio is just as important, if not even more important as video is.

So, I’ve invested in some new equipment – a way cool Nikon D7000 which shoots full HD video at 1920 x 1080 (and other modes also), a good Rode condenser mic (for that all important audio) and am learning the way cool editing process using Final Cut Pro. Really enjoying the process, and wanted to share a bit of it with my reader(s). Hi Mom!

Here’s a short video I made on a recent aerial job for a different client – hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you’ll keep checking back and come on this Random journey with me!

Since I photographed the entire Yankees v Royals three games this past Fri-Sunday, I thought I would do a quick blog update and post a few of my favorite shots from the games.  No logical order or anything – pretty Random – just some I liked with some decent action.  The Royals got off to a rocky start with losing the first two games, but the Boys in Blue made up for it on Sunday with a 6-4 win, and a very exciting eighth inning!

Hope you enjoy the shots, and thanks for looking!

HerCityGuide.com

I wanted to tell you all about a really cool website that was started in Septemer of 2008 that I’m proud to be associated with.  It’s called HerCityGuide.com, and it’s a really great concept.  It’s a website designed for women to help find all sorts of goods and services  – everything from health and beauty, shopping, resturaunts, photographers (of which I’m one!), and most stuff in-between.  The businesses listed on their site can be rated by other members also, so you can get a ‘real world’ review and comments on those businesses – good or bad.  Aimee Jacobson (who created the site) is an awesome lady to work with, and has a genuine concern for both her site’s members and the businesses that she chooses to list on there.

The site is incredibly easy to use, with seperate catagories such as

• For her style
• For her kids
• For her pets
• For her guy

and many more, with different businesses in each catagory.  The site is still growing, and adding more information every day.  Aimee also has a blog and a discussion forum for the site, which is really cool, too.

Most of us guys that have been married for longer than 1 day know who makes most of the decisions in the family (at least all of the important ones, anyway!), and I think this is an awesome way for women to get great information before making those decisions on all that stuff!

So, check out HerCityGuide.com, sign up for the free membership, and take a spin around.  You’ll even see some of my work on there, with links to my website as well!
