So I'm late... I'm late putting this up on here. I've had it done for a while (except the music). I figured I should add music and since I don't normally have to put my work to music and it was a little tough.
This consisted of 381 frames over about an hour and a half. The frames and rendering where done with Lapse It Pro on an android phone.

I had a lot of fun doing this but there were some issues that I ran into. First, it is really tough to control smoke. If there is any draft the smoke will move to wherever it wants to. It's also tough to focus on smoke in low light. I found that the first 10 shots were not quite in focus when I Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16361747190481432900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12722817.post-23583191279377636802013-01-21T18:34:00.001-05:002013-01-21T18:34:47.182-05:00Project 3 - Photowalk?Project 3 - Photowalk?
I know, I know... I said this would be more about the projects than photowalks. That is true and it will be. Let me clarify a little bit. When I was doing my 52 photowalks of 2010 I felt like I was unable to do anything else photographically speaking. I am generally a busy person and photography is something of an outlet for me, not a money-maker. &Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16361747190481432900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12722817.post-90273334050354377242013-01-13T16:17:00.000-05:002013-01-13T16:17:55.470-05:00Project 2 - ToyMy daughter came up with the idea of doing a toy photo for this project.

Soon after that I lost my drive to want to go out and photograph things.

So finally the last photowalk I needed to complete my 52 photowalks. This was a heck of a journey for me. There were lots of ups and downs, but we'll get to those.
I enjoyed the St. Jones Greenway Pt. 1 the day before and I was still very intrigued as to where it all ended up.

So this was taken shortly after one of them snowfalls in December we had. I am very fortunate to have a job where I normally don't have to go out once it snows much. In that same regard that has allowed me to be lazy and not ever really do anything when it snows. This time I was determined to enjoy the snow a bit more.

I really enjoyed getting out here and walking. It has been on my list since early in the year that I should go and check this place out. After my issues with bugs at bombay hook I decided that I would wait till it got colder. That I did, as you can see the snow in the shots.

This was a bit different. I had it in my mind that I was going to use the rain as an advantage. This was a bit more than a walk, it was actually driving around looking for some vantage points.

Let me start off by saying a couple of things...
First, I completed all of my 52 photowalks in 2010. I am still posting them as I got behind on posting to my blog.
Second, I will not be doing a 52 photowalks in 2011. I enjoyed it in many ways. It brought some of my goals and failures front and center.

I really didn't have the energy to go on this photowalk but I decided I really needed to go.

First time going up here, but I've been trying to figure out when I could get up here for months now. It's a bit of a drive, at least for me at just under an hour and a half. So, I finally made it up there and met up with a flickr contact (M.Reder) that lives nearby.
