Here are some of the images I took from my two hour flight today at Mount Woodside. It was a great little flight. Mainly ridge soaring. The highlights were playing in the clouds, watching a family of eagles fly around, flying around with them, seeing two eagles grab their talons and tumble together, and meeting [...]
[facebook] [retweet] With the year coming to an end I decided to make a clean break from some footage, so before archiving it into oblivion, I wanted to make a video out of the footage I have yet to use. The first video is from this year’s Flytec race in Florida, and the second one [...]
I spent yesterday taking photos with my new Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (see bottom photo) getting some shots while I was at launch and the break down area at Lookout Mountain Flight Park. The idea was to go about and take pictures more of the people of the sport than the sport itself from a [...]
This is a quick little video I threw together of the couple of flights that I actually set up my camera on over the last few months. It’s typically such a pain to set a camera up on my glider, in addition to the stress of usually when I do want to set one up [...]
This isn’t really a “How to,” but thought it would be more appropriate than the “Blog” title. Above is a video where I talk about the flight over the track log in Google Earth – hope it’s not as boring as that sounds. I’ll go ahead and apologize for no in-flight pictures, my wife took [...]
I had a decent flight yesterday. I waited to fly until everyone else launched so I could film everyone’s launches. Go to the youtube page for this video and make comments about what you think people did right and what they did wrong: I used my Canon 7D to film the launches at 60fps and [...]
This is a very short promotional piece for hang gliding I wanted to do. It’s just something very simple that I thought might stir some interest in people. I used old footage from when I was making my Nikon Festival Contest video and color corrected in an interesting way to me using Magic Bullet Looks. [...]
Well, I thought about it and decided I might as well put together a shorter version of the Avatar video considering people’s attention spans these days (mine included). So I used a couple new clips that weren’t in the original and recut a shorter version that might be more conducive to people sharing the video [...]
Avatar came out while my wife was on a trip to Haiti, and since I promised to see it with her, I waited. And waited. It was an epic adventure that rivaled the movie itself. Well, maybe not, but it was hard waiting. It had been out almost two weeks by the time I saw [...]
