I recently made the trip from Vancouver to San Francisco and I stopped at two flying sites to hang glide, Dog Mountain and Mattole. Both were incredible. Check out the video above to see what these sites look like. I finally bought a GoPro and am very happy with how convenient it is and all [...]
I first heard of Encyclopedia Pictura from a friend who sent me a link to a story that NPR did on them this past year. My friend thought I’d be interested in them because I received my undergraduate degree in forestry and I recently finished film school as well, so my interests share common ground [...]
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 [...]
Soundscapes by Ace Norton It gets going about a minute into this, worth a watch/listen – takes ham boning to a new level Okay, now here’s some ham boning . . . Most overused line in Cinema: “You look like shit” Good advice: I love hang gliding – if you press play it skips to [...]
What is a blog if you don’t share part of your personal life on it? Primarily, this site has been about showing the work I do, not necessarily talking about personal stuff. Now, nearing the one year anniversary of having lucasridley.com I thought I’d venture into the delicate world of sharing some more personal stuff [...]
Incredible concept – hypnotize people to think the camera is a loved one to get genuine reactions for the photograph Entertaining idea – must have taken forever to make this Hilarious: Shows what can happen when you mess up doing hang gliding aerobatics, and this turned out well in the sense the pilot was not [...]
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 [...]
I went with two friends to Colorado for a week recently to hike up a 14er. We were going to start with Mount Evans, but the road to the trailhead was closed because of snow. So we decided to try for Mount Elbert which is the tallest mountain in Colorado at 14,433′. We spent the [...]
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. [...]
