Welcome

Welcome to my photoblog. I try to keep it updated daily with a new photo from either my personal or professional life. It is not intended to be taken as my professional portfolio (please visit the main website for that), but instead it is more of an informal and fun way for me to share some of my personality and creativity with you. Many of the photos on my blog are available for purchase as fine art prints, please visit the main website and/or contact me if you are interested. Enjoy!

Clouds Time-Lapse

  
Something a little different for today's "Photo a Day" project shot. It's a time-lapse photography compilation called Clouds Time-Lapse. It was my first time trying out my new remote control timer for making time-lapse photography. I think I got the timing down pretty good (one shot every 7 seconds) but my moving of the camera needs work. Next time I'll either forgo the camera movement all together or move it less distance per movement, but more often (every shot instead of every 10 shots).
