Mar 21: Go Deep

It was sunny, warm, and dry when I arrived in CA.
It started snowing a couple hours later, and it didn't stop for 3 days.

The skiing was wild. Wet, windy, and wildly enjoyable.
It was also pretty deep.

It took 40 minutes just to turn around in the driveway.
It took another 90 minutes to get out of the driveway.
Turns out my car can't handle 2+ feet of Sierra Cement.

I tried some climbing in Big Cottonwood, but my injured knee prevented me from doing much.
I made it about 2 moves up the wall before the pain convinced me that the knee is not yet ready for action.
Without a tripod or shutter release, I shot this series.

BCC Cars from Jeremy Koons on Vimeo.

I used my climbing shoes and backpack to support the camera, and a dedicated trigger finger to get the shots.
I combined them in PhotoShop to create this final image.

I'd like to try again with the right gear and a different angle.

July 7: Sample Stills

I'm still organizing video and compiling image sets into timelapse clips.
Here're are a few stills from the forthcoming clips.

Sometimes in the car.

Sometimes with rotation.

Sometimes at night.

Sometimes on the bike.

Sometimes wider.

Sometimes in tunnels.

Sometimes in camp, usually tired.

Sometimes posed.

And sometimes hanging by a web.

Sometime, at some point, I'll get some of this edited, and I'll post something, somewhere, somehow.

May '09: Race Cars

Seeing a friend post some nice panning images made me look back at some of mine from a year ago.
1/80 f/18 280mm (on a 1.3 crop sensor) 100mph?

Now at 1/200

I like the second one better, with a touch more sharpness to the car. The wheels also help provide a speed reference.
But, neither is very interesting.
I'd still rather have good composition than good camera techniques.
