A Bird’s-Eye View of Kayaking with GoPro Hero Camera

14 Nov

A bird’s-eye view? Well, it’s more like a low flying goose perspective.

I am testing GoPro HD Hero camera mounted on a telescoping mast a few feet above kayak deck. My <"http://photokayaker.fit2paddle.com/kayak-video-camera-mast-sticky-pod-combined-with-monopod/">camera mast remains the same as described a couple years ago in this blog. A reversed Gitzo monopod is mounted on My Sticky Pod platform with three suction cups. I am using a toy table tripod at the top end of monopod as a tripod mount for a camera. I used plastic ties and gaffer tape there, so no permanent modifications or damages to my carbon fiber monopod were made.

GoPro HD Hero Camera

The pictures come from a recent paddling on Beaver Pond (Arapaho Bend Natural Area, Fort Collins) with JKK Supernova sea kayak. The camera mast was set up on a back deck of the kayak. I cannot mount the sticky pod platform on the steep front deck with a center ridge. I would have to figure out some more creative approach. I mounted the GoPro Hero with a single suction cup in my recent paddling with this kayak.

GoPro HD Hero Camera

GoPro LCD Bacpac, a detachable LCD screen is really helpful in setting up the camera and reviewing shots.

GoPro HD Hero Camera

The camera was setup on a fully extended mast, i.e., about 60″ (152cm) above the deck. The stability of Supernova was not really affected. It was a different story with a more tippy Thunderbolt kayak. I wish I could place my DSLR camera, Canon 5D, that high in a kayak.

GoPro HD Hero Camera

The camera was automatically shooting pictures every 30 seconds. It’s possible to select some decent shots from 700 frames. Of course, had also my Pentax Optio W30 handy. I am getting ready to shoot video.

GoPro HD Hero Camera

The same position of the mast, but the camera was lowered by 4″.

Part two: www.youtube.com In the news: MTA warned: Let photographers shoot www.baltimoresun.com MTA administrator disavows curbs on photography www.baltimoresun.com MTA promises to stop violating civil liberties — again www.baltimoresun.com —————————————————————————- This incident occurred at the Cultural Center station in Baltimore, Maryland on March 21, 2011. I was visiting from Oregon, and as part of my career interests, I explored the transit systems of Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. In each and every one of those cities, except for Baltimore, I had no problems photographing these amazing systems. This incident in Baltimore started with me enroute from the B&O Railroad Museum to Penn Station. I had boarded a light-rail train at the Convention Center, but realized that I needed to be on a “Penn Station” bound train, so I stepped off at Cultural Center Station in order to board the correct train. While waiting for my train, I snapped a photo or two of passing trains, and was immediately inundated with police officers confronting me about my photography. I also had a video camera on hand, so this entire incident, except for the last bit at Penn Station, was recorded. MTA Police finally gave back my farecard and ordered me to “cease and desist,” but continued to surround and bother me until I boarded the next Penn Station train. They followed me to Penn Station and got Amtrak Police …

NF – Diskussionseröffnung: Kinderfotos im Internet

11 Nov

Mit der täglich wachsenden Zahl an Kameras, sei es nun die Bridge-, DSLR- oder iPhonekamera, die in den Händen vieler Menschen sind und der Plattform Internet wird auch in zunehmendem Maße das Leben in allen seinen Facetten dokumentiert und präsentiert. Dazu gehören auch Kinderfotos. Und darüber möchte ich heute mit Euch diskutieren.

Was für die einen Grund zu Besorgnis ist, kann für die anderen Teil des Lebens und nicht mehr wegzudenken sein. Bisher sind mir, was das Thema Kinderfotos im Netz betrifft, alle möglichen Argumente und Haltungen begegnet. Denn jemand, der selbstverständlich Fotos seiner Kinder oder jüngeren Geschwister ins Netz stellt, sagt mit seinem Handeln, dass er dies unbedenklich findet.

Das Thema ist groß. Und es ist komplex. Hier gibt es keine einfachen Antworten, denn was für den einen tragbar ist, bringt den anderen um den Verstand. Kinder sind unser Heiligtum und somit ist die Diskussion um das Thema (zu Recht) emotional und wichtig. Dementsprechend sind Positionen wie “Kinderfotos im Internet gehören verboten!” genauso schwachsinnig wie  ”Eltern, die ihre Kinderfotos nicht ins Netz stellen, sind doch nur Angsthasen”. Jeder kann und wird das nur für sich selbst entscheiden.

Doch gerade weil es hier emotional zugeht, muss man aufpassen, dass man seine eigene Meinung nicht für allgemeingültig hält. Deshalb weigere ich mich auch, hier “klipp und klar” Position zu beziehen und das, was ich denke, großmäulig herauszupfeifen. Und mein Anliegen heute ist dementsprechend gar nicht, herauszufinden, was richtig oder falsch, dumm oder angemessen ist, sondern ich möchte hinhören. Und zwar bei Euch.

Just Posted: Updated Samsung NX200 Studio Comparison (raw & JPEG)

11 Nov

UPDATE: Following the provision of Beta raw support from Adobe, we’ve updated our previously published studio samples from the Samsung NX200 to include raw files. Also, we’ve recently got our hands on Samsung’s new NX 60mm F2.8 Macro ED OIS SSA and we’ve taken the opportunity to replace our existing samples with a completely new set, taken on the newer lens. In future, the 60mm macro will become our standard studio lens for the Samsung NX system.
