Adam Innocent RAW: Osborne Classic 2009

I've been toying with the idea of following in the steps of fellow photographers Chase Jarvis and Eric Ashley with a RAW/Uncut video entry. Actually, now that I've looked at both Chase's and Eric's site (sites?), I really owe credit to the honorable Mr. Ashley alone. His videos can be found here. So, without further adieu, here is my first shot at a RAW/Uncut video. Images were shot at 1 minute intervals from the backstop above the 2009 Osborne Classic, and are presented at a rate of 10 frames per second. A similar video chronicling all 1164 images shot soon to follow....

Mooning, Moonlighting, and a Moonrising (03.11.09)

Okay, I promise to think of less corny titles in the future.

Tuesday night I noticed the huge full moon, so Wednesday after the weekly photographers meeting I chose to neglect a project and take photos instead. I arrived early with Taco Bell in hand, and proceeded to freeze my hands off doing time exposures while blasting my car stereo out over Bennington Lake. I didn't realize it until I looked at them just now, but an exposure of just 30 seconds way up here in the north produces a nice little trail on the stars. I totally should've busted out the wide angle - the stars were poppin!
About the "mooning": A car pulled up and parked about halfway through my photo-taking, and then proceeded to sit there with the lights off. Apparently I wasn't paying too much attention, because they weren't making out, just out for a walk around the lake. Whew! Eric Ashley and I were not so lucky on a previous occasion where I nonchalantly parked right next to a steamy car. Sorry, no photos ;)

Planes, Weather, and a Sick Photographer (03.05.09)

Well, okay, so I didn't actually get sick, but my stomach wasn't too happy with me. A Mechanical Engineering friend of mine invited me along as he received a refresher course on WWU's Piper. (He will be flying it home to Loma Linda for spring break.) If you refer to my last post, apparently the gods hate Thursdays, because the storms were a brewin'. Needless to say, the flight was rather bumpy, and our heads became familiar with the ceiling on the way back in. Good times. I think I'll stick to driving.
