Time-lapse of Mammatus Clouds

Well I finally uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel! A quick thunderstorm passed over Calgary and just after it was gone and the rain subsided, I grabbed my Oly E-P2 and snapped away at the sunset lit mammatus cloud formations at the trailing edge of the storm. Old habits die hard and once again it's quite late, so I'll be writing up a second part to this post detailing how I created this video. Enjoy the quick show! L8r!

    Man that's really cool! Although 120 frames is done really quickly, it gave a really cool effect!
    But what's up with the music xD?

    Yea, next time I'll try to grab my tripod instead of hand holding the camera. My intent really was just to take a few stills for fun, but I soon realized that a time-lapse would be quite neat to do. And that's my music! LOL I did that song about 10 years ago and recently self-published an album with some of my tunes on it.

Infrared Photography; Supplemental Post - Photography with Imre - Episodes 23 and 24

I figured I'd take a quick break and write up the post for the two infrared photography videos ( episode 23 and episode 24 ). This topic is by no means a small one, so as you saw in the video I really honed in on shooting with "regular" cameras, meaning non-IR modified, using IR filters. I would say that if you're new to infrared photography, then this is a good way to gain some experience without spending too much money. Of course if you take a liking to the realm of red, then there are lots of options to take this niche further. If it's one piece of information I couldn't find, it's in regard to at what frequency the IR blocking filter on the sensor cuts out. As you saw in the video my E-P2 could pick up the remote control's IR "beam", but I wonder where the limit is. I'm guessing it's around 720nm, but perhaps I didn't look hard enough or this is some sort of manufacturer secret as it may be used to somehow enhance the quali...

Solar Eclipse Time-lapse - Part 2

Image
Finally made some time to complete part 2 of the solar eclipse time-lapse post. Let's get right into it, but first a quick warning message you all should read if you're not familiar with taking photos directly of the sun: Without proper solar filtration, there is a very real chance that you could cause serious and irreparable damage to your camera equipment, and more importantly serious or permanent eye damage such as blindness. If you do not feel comfortable with such photography, I do not recommend doing it... even what I did can be considered borderline (and I actually don't really recommend my method either), but I'll explain my actions below. Ok, now with that out of the way I'll start with a quick list of equipment used: - Olympus E-3 - 50-200mm Zuiko lens - 2X tele-converter - camera hand-held - Variable ND filter ... DIY type Nothing really stands out from the list above until you get to the last item, a do-it-yourself (DIY) variable ND filter. I ...

Rave Girl: Change My Mind - New Sci-Fi Novel Out!

Image
Luckily, I'm better at finishing full-length novels than I am at updating this poor blog! In any case, I'm shamelessly plugging my new science fiction novel, Rave Girl: Change My Mind ! It took me about two years (very on and off) to finish this one, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. So if you enjoy fast paced action / adventure sci-fi with a large helping of humor / comedy, then you're gonna enjoy this! Below is a synopsis and the book cover (which I designed using Blender 3D and finished up with GIMP). Give it a try and leave me some feedback, or better yet, a review. Us indy authors need all the help we can get with the exposure. Synopsis: Allegra could never have imagined how different, how extraordinary, her life would become, just by being in the right place at the right time after a rave. Who could’ve thought that after a long day of dancing and euphoria, she’d end up saving the life of an extra-terrestrial? Or did her ET bestie, Kay’k, save her? After y...
