I agree about no feedback thread before March 22nd.

How about we say "no feedback threads should be posted until AFTER Dale post the thread with all the links to the videos."

Well, went out for 2-3 hours today. Rain, rain, rain. Lots of shots of wet moss and lichen.

And yesterday...a hawk and beaver. Unfortunately, I have a slow lens so in fading light, I did my best and then bumped up the values for these screen grabs from the video.

Ryan, some great pictures you've got there.
Looking forward to see your video and the beaver.
I can not remember we have had one of those in Uwol?

Ryan,

Very nice images!@!

The Hawk is a red shouldered hawk, sometimes referred to as a red bellied hawk. Very nice raptors!!


Well, seeing all the nice color and possible compositions makes me somewhat jealous.

All my images are totally low contrast, white on white so to speak. here are a few screen grabs.

I was away for a couple days, melt is on and the country side has changed so much I do not know if I can really add any new shots to what I have so far. I am really after two more shots. Probably wont get them, and if I do they may not fit the overall atmosphere of my video.

Ah, cool to know it is a red shouldered hawk. Makes sense. I got 1 poor shot of it taking flight and you can really see the red color located directly on the "shoulders."

Not going to be able to pull it together for this one.... too many health, job and family issues converging to make it impossible.

I still haven't hit the record button once yet on this one. :(

guys,


You have a week to hit that button.

I also know you two in particular put out great stuff even when you just "toss on together". wish I had that ability!!!!!


go Get em!!!

Good afternoon.
Just wanna pop in and tell about the winter situation right now.
It's a strange situation in our county, Moere and Romsdal.
My father (age 81) can not remember so much snow and for such a long periode since he was a little boy.
The last days more snow has landed, (huge masses) and yesterday it shifted to mild weather.
So because of the great danger of avalanches, many of our main roads are closed down.
Yesterday I was cross country skiing in the mountains, trying to get some shots for this round of uwol, but had to turn my face back home again.
Too rough weather for my taste, and for my camera too.
I give you 2 pictures showing the snowstorm coming, and the other one showing fine weather.
It's not taken from the same spot, so the angle will be different, but you can see a yellow lift/crane down to the left in both of the pictures.
It's the same crane.
Fortunately, no one has died from avalanches. Our majestic mountains are a beautiful sight, but can also be deadly trap.
So it is a good reminder that we show respect for nature and the natural forces.

Same here....much woe and little wonder....

Geir. Pretty cool images. What great scenery you have there.

Nice photos, Geir!
Seen a couple of those, and it's spectacular everytime.
Stay safe and away from the steep mountain sides up there!


It's a wrap!
My video is done, and still many days ahead of deadline. Yay!
Still not perfect, but I have learned something while making it, and that's one of the goals, right.
(A good thing I'm done, since my job gives me no time for video the rest of this week)

Well, I went out on a limb and scripted a short about 3 weeks ago calling for around 55 scenes. The challenge for me then was to see if what I envisioned could be brought to life as I envisioned it. Might not be able to get everything I wanted but hope to be able to cobble something together. Trying some different things like camera angles and filming silent and then creating the sounds and dubbing over. Fingers crossed, knocking on wood!

Good evening,

Well, in spite of constant computer problems the last couple days (constant crashing), I put the finishing touches on my video. I did not get all the shots I wanted (missed just two) had the weather change so dramaticly I could not reshoot any shots I had already.

Went to cut the mp4 version for vimeo, my computer with 10 gigs of ram says it is to short on memory!!! Go figure that one!!!

spent the afternoon tweeking the operating system, cleaning drives and now defraging them too.


Seems there is always something new!!!
