attempts

I started attempting to make some cloud time lapses this week, only for around to doing two. The first one is only a minute and a half, the clouds were moving nicely that day. But unfortunately I never check my Go-Pro battery life. The Second one is from this afternoon, I had to Go-Pro pointed to direct at the sun so its really white and the clouds weren't moving as nearly as fast. It's thirty two minutes long into about twenty seconds. Enjoy!

sunny friday.

Today was amazingly sunny in the Grey County region so off to Blue Mountain Terrain Park it is. A couple locals, Jack Bernstein, Julian Venditti, Anthony Wolf, and Nick Venditti, were shredding the rail line most of the morning so we got a couple shots. Enjoy!

light painting

Last night Shane, Adam, and I went down to the old Chapman's building remains to use the solid concrete as a background for trying some light painting. I've seen this technique done before by other photographers and they've came out with some pretty impressive results. So here are a couple pictures from my first time trying it out. Enjoy!

moon

So tonight/last night as everyone might of noticed the moon was exceptionally bright. It is the closest it has been to earth in 18 years and won't be this bright for another 30 years, scientist say. Here are two pictures I shot, I like the last one cause its the brightness of the moon shining on the tree branches. Enjoy!

fifty-fifty

Here is a little shot of my friend, Lee, hitting the down flat rail at Blue Mountain. I told him on the ride up to try this trick and he nailed it first try. Check it out.

st. patty's

So since this year I wasn't in London for St. Patrick's Day, my friends and I just hung out. Had a couple beers and laughs. Here is a short attempt at some slow motion on one of our many activities from the day.

blue bird week at blue

Last week was March break for the students and they were blessed with lovely spring riding conditions. I took advantage of the sun and went out to Blue Mountain. Here are a couple shots from the week.

horseshoe open big air

Last Saturday Keegan, Lee and I went to Horseshoe Valley for the Pro-Invite big air contest. There were numerous of good riders and talent surrounding the event with Trevor Niblett coming out on top with his Double Cork BS 1080. Christian Primrose and Kevin Konings took 2nd and 3rd respectfully. Here are a couple photos and a little video, p.s. the weather was terrible.

Since I got my Go-Pro my friends have wanted to do a lot of filming. So, we went back to the water tubes and got a couple shots. Rob fell pretty hard on his first run, which unfortunately we didn't catch on tape. View video in best quality on youtube page, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo4ePfw1D0A
Enjoy!

Today was another beautiful day, with the sun out all day and perfect blue skies. So, Rob, Keegan, and I went Blue to ride on this gorgeous day. A lot of locals were enjoying the weather and getting some filming done. Still testing out the new Go-Pro and trying to find my distance perfect. But here's a little clip of Keegan landing his first ever cork 720 with a little hand drag, still sick. Go to this link to watch it in full 1080HD on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTgfRy53F_I Also snapped a couple pictures during the day too. Enjoy!

go-pro

I've seen hundreds of people this year at the local mountains rocking Go-Pro's, either mounted to their helmet or an extended pole. So, on thursday I decided its my turn to get one and ordered one from their website, and on friday afternoon it arrived. I've been testing with it all weekend and think I've figured out most of the settings that I'll need. Here are a couple test photos and a quick video of my friend, John Hill, riding at Beaver Valley sunday afternoon. Enjoy!

jib

On Tuesday a couple of buddies and I decided to go try and jib at this mini water plant located at the top of the valley. We've rode it before a couple years ago so went back to get a couple shots. After about 2 hours of shoveling and shaping it was ready to hit. Enjoy!


Test shot. Test run.

highlanders vs. battalion

On Friday night I took my younger brother, Matthew, to a triple "A" game here in Markdale. I also brought my camera with me and shot a couple pictures. My ISO settings are playing games with me while shooting so some of the pictures are a little grainy. Enjoy.
