Snow Covered Merced River – Yosemite National Park

09 Sep

Tough to believe that Summer has almost passed here in California. I’ve heard many photographers as of late mentioning they’re eagerly awaiting Fall to see the leaves turn color. I myself am quite content with Summer for now. For those suffering from extreme summer temperatures I hope this cool view of a snow covered Merced river in Yosemite National Park  acts as mental air conditioning. Make the most of the weekend as it’s one of the few remaining this Summer.

Yosemite Valley Chapel in Snow Storm

26 Dec

It’s not often I’ve watched snowfall and by that I mean “watch” snow fall. As a child I’ve waited for snowfall to end in order to be let out to play and as an adult I’ve darted from point A to B in a car while it has started to snow, but in both of these instances my mind was elsewhere preoccupied on other goals and activities. To simply watch snow fall is amazing, and to rediscover it behind a camera is an experience everyone should enjoy.

Yosemite Valley Chapel in Snow Storm

Last year I was very fortunate to time a visit to Yosemite valley to witness the first snowfall of the year. Much to my surprise it was also the storm of the season dropping 11 inches of snow and transforming a golden brown valley into a white winter wonderland overnight. It also made for a very interesting time in a small tent, but that is another story.

While photography is all about light, it is as much about how you see the world. To that end you have to be in the right mindset and position to observe the world before you. My time in Yosemite on this trip was first and foremost to experience nature at its best, second to hone my skills to see it and third to photograph it. To each of these ends here are 3 tips that helped me get the photo featured here today.

  1. To experience nature at its best monitor the weather and be there when its most dramatic.
  2. To hone ones observational skills look at the world as a child might, where every experience is new and a source of curiosity & exploration.
  3. To photograph a snow scene such as this over expose the image 1 to 1 1/2 stops via exposure compensation on your SLR otherwise your camera will meter the snow as 18% gray.

3D Stereoscopic Mountain Stream, Stormy Sea and UK Snow clips

07 May

These are some test clips done with my new XDCAM EX 3D side by side camera rig. The video here is an anaglyph so dig out those Red-Cyan Glasses to view these clips in 3D. I will be filming more natural wonders throughout the year. Next week I will be in the Arctic filming the Northern Lights, then it’s off to Iceland to film the geysers and Glaciers and in the spring I will attempt to film a Tornado in 3D.

During my visit to Pixar Animation Studios in March, I got to interview Stereoscopic Supervisor, Bob Whitehill who describes himself as the person who gives you a headache when you watch 3d movies. He then went onto explain that hopefully, if he’s done his job right, you shouldn’t be experiencing that headache when watching one of his movies. He talks to us in depth about working with 3d in Toy Story 3. Please note, some small spoilers are mentioned during the interview.
