Times Square 2012

(ok, after someone used my blog to post some Viagra adds and I removed them here is the new real post!) A few days ago I went to NY to work, amongst the things I had to do was a photo shoot and I ended up on the roof of a building in Times Square, I was carrying a lot of stuff so my brother met me at Penn Station and help me get there with the gear (he is the one napping under the dolly). We had a good time, the weather was nice and the view was great. So we ended up just shooting photos and watching people go by. Enjoy and comment!!

Lluvia

Tomar fotos en dias soleados es relativamente mas fácil que en dias nublados, así que decidí salir un dia a probar que podía hacer al respecto en uno de los dias mas comunes en Boston, los dias nublados del terror. disfruten y comenten…..ya se la you know.

Dynamic Perception Dolly test 01

Yesterday a couple of friends (Jason and Luis) and I went to the Boston ICA to test Neoscape’s new toy, the Dynamic perception dolly (dynamicperception.com). It is a great and simple tool to expand on your creative photography arsenal, there are many possibilities to use it and it also requires some practice to get something good looking (excuse why mine are not that good….yet!). The cloud time lapse was a very simple one done in 30 min with a continuos move my 7D and a 15mm fish eye lens, there was a lot of wind so it was easy to get the clouds moving. The second one is of my house fire place and it was a bit more complicated to shoot, what I was trying to do was calculate how many photos I had to shoot in 3 hours and travel the 6 feet of the dolly (the time the log more or less lasts on fire) so that I could get the log form the time it was lit to the time the fire went out, for this one I used the 7D and a 50mm lens and in a different mode where the dolly shoots, moves, stops and wait for the camera to save the image then shoots again and so on. Both ended up OK looking but ultimately they are just tests, hopefully we will use this at work more and in more creative ways.

El mono de Nieve

Siempre es divertido hacer un mono de nieve, hace unos cuantos fines de semana hicimos uno mi hijo y yo. La verdad que nos quedó muy bien considerando que la nieve estaba muy esponjosa, pero ya es historia y como el invierno ha estado muy leve pues se derritió, lo bueno es que le tomé unas cuantas fotos y aquí quedo guardado en pixeles.

Disfruten y Comenten 🙂
