Nishi Shinjuku, Pt. I

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:36:05 -0400

This is some video I shot on the day I bought the Canon HV20. Sorry, I don't remember the settings. Probably auto everything. Nishi Shinjuku is home to a huge Yodobashi Camera store (where I bought the HV20). Actually, I think there are something like five separate Yodobashi stores in Nishi but one is simply gigantic. There is also a main bus terminal here. For such narrow roads, Japan certainly has large buses.

Glowing Cities Under a Nighttime Sky

Fri, 08 May 2009 04:23:18 -0400

On my night time flight back to SF from Amsterdam, I noticed that the lights from cities were making the clouds glow. Really spectacular and ethereal - it was really seeing the impact of urban environments from a different perspective. Each glow or squiggle represents one town or city! Luckily the flight was half empty, so I was able to set up an improvised stabilizer mound made up of my bags, pillows, and blankets for my camera to sit on. We were around the midwest at the beginning of the clip, and there were fewer cities once we hit the rockies. the bridge at the end is the san mateo bridge. Technique: 1600iso; beginning - 1 (30sec) exposure / 45secs; end - 1 (4sec) exposure / 10 secs; total elapsed time: around 3 hours? Equipment used: Nikon D300 (interval shooting mode), Tokina 12-24mm. Music: Bloc Party - Signs *Update 2-2-09, 12am: just made it over 50k views! thanks guys for all the kind comments and support!! *Update 4-15-09: over 100,000 views!!! Yaaay!

Streets at Night - Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:59:16 -0400

Streets at Night were recorded with Canon EOS 5D Mark II few hours after I got the demo unit. I quickly went through manual to find the buttons I needed, because I am a Nikon user and I was not familiar with the camera. Lenses I used were: EF85mm f/1.8 USM, EF16-35mm f/2.8L USM and EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye. I probably had the settings wrong, didn’t know about the lock exposure button and more, but I didn't took the time to search on all the sites that describe shooting video mode with 5D.]]>

A Day I Missed

My first attempt at playing with Time Lapse photography. Designed to be 1 frame per minute for 7 hours, however lasted about 1/3 of that, as I wasn’t on hand to swap batteries.
