National Weather Service video…

Here is a video that I produced and edited for the Albuquerque National Weather Service. This brief video gives a quick tour of some of the day-to-day tasks that we perform at the Weather Forecast Office (WFO), including severe weather operations, forecasting, data acquisition, and more.

Grand Skies…

Here’s a sneak peek at another time lapse video I am working on. This features imagery from Arizona, all of which was shot last summer. I hope to add much more to it, but I thought I would share the sequences that I had so far. All still images were taken between 4 and 8 second intervals and then played back at a 30 frame per second rate.

Watch the Weather…

February 20, 2013 by webmaster | Comments Off

This is a 2 minute video featuring some short time lapse arrangements that I have been shooting over the past couple of months. Most of these were shot around the weather forecast office in Albuquerque, but there was a couple of sequences taken downtown and even some imagery from west Texas (the wind farms). These images were taken every 3, 4, or 8 seconds depending on the cloud movement or other aspect of motion I was trying to capture.

Urban HDR…

February 16, 2013 by webmaster | Comments Off

The following images were shot downtown in Albuquerque. These were all multiple images superimposed on each other to capture a higher dynamic range of exposure, varying from 3 to 4 stops with each individual image. I used the HDR Efex Pro plugin to complete this after I had all of my images downloaded off of my camera. I had been sitting on these images for a while, but came across them as I was doing some long overdue organization of some of my photo libraries. I was quickly reminded what a fun process HDR can be, as long as you don’t get too carried away with it. I have quite a bit of time lapse images and other video that I have been tinkering around with too; hopefully some of these will be shared shortly.
