Many people who I am connected with in social media know that I have a passion for long exposure and night photography. I have begun to take that a step further to create Time lapse videos. Below is a rough cut of where my photography passion is going.To create this I video I had amassed over 1000 frames of night shoots spread over 3 days. I was limited buy battery power and weather condition

On this particular night I had the chance to take some photos at my brother's fastball game. It was taking place on Nomination night (for the 2008 Chief & Council election). On this night I learned that a faster lens and a camera with and extended ISO range with low noise would make a big improvement on this photo. Other than those two expensive options, I could shoot in daylight or I can read

If you have taken long exposures you might have noticed annoying characteristics of your camera. I shoot with a Sony DSLR and noticed with my long exposures the camera would take a long time to process an image once I had released the shutter. It was always exactly the same amount of time as the initial shutter speed. For example, if I shot an image for 1 minute it would take an additional

I have an interest in following the politics of our times. Living in Canada it is impossible not to know what is going on with our neighbors to the south. I remember staying up late to watch Gore and Bush on election night openly believing Gore was going to the White House. Then weeks later after much fighting Bush had somehow taken America off course. We are now into Bush's last year.
