Video test

Playing with slideshows

Just discovered that I can post slideshows of my work from smugmug onto this page... or so it says... here's a test.

New Arrival

I got my 5D mark II in the mail today, a bit of a surprise really because I didn't think I'd have one in my hands till well after the first of the year. The 5D2 adds a lot of photographic power that I didn't have before, including some really excellent low light functionality, full frame shooting, and ultra-high resolution. However, the most fun that I've had with it today is shooting HD video-- my brother and I hacked together a brief little clip to explore some of its potential.



Some sample pictures:

(17mm)


(85mm)

I haven't had the camera long enough to have a clear idea of what all it's capable of but for right now I can certainly say that it's a very useful photographic tool with a ton of potential. Now if I can just figure out all these buttons...

New Lens!

My new 85/1.2L has arrived and I've been enjoying my low-light abilities. The lens is a really remarkable product, I've been having a great time exploring what it's capable of doing. I've not yet gotten a chance to do a lot of serious photography with it, mostly just silly FIJI stuff and some other fun events, as well as a couple of stories for the paper.

Back to school

School's back in session, and things are fully in swing at the paper. As managing editor, I get to read ~1/2 of the content in the paper every issue, in addition to doing some of the photos.

Before school started, we did a "Back-to-School" issue that was mafia themed, so we set up a bunch of photos with cigars and silly hats and suits.





Between BTS and school starting I was in Boston for almost a week, it was a great opportunity to do some street shooting and urban work, had a lot of fun doing that-- it's not often that you get to shoot street in Greencastle Ind.!







Somewhere in there I did a wedding as well, Mandy and Drew.



Now that school has started back up I've gone to work for the paper yet again, sports has been my primary focus. More to come soonish.

Coming soon

Haven't been up to much photographically lately. The only thing recently was some photos in the lab for a journal article. Coming up however will be the first wedding of the summer and hopefully some more stuff for Purdue. Stay vigilant for more updates.
