Living on Cathedral Hill has led me to use the Cathedral as a subject for many photos. Here are a few samples from the past year.

Here are some sample photos from the Rockie Lynne concert I covered last weekend. The majority of what I did was video for a sizzle reel for Rockie but I was able to get a few photos in. All of these were taken with Panasonic GH2 with the 100-300mm lens. The highest I pushed the ISO was 1600. Generally the lens was stopped down at stop or a half. Shutter was 1/10-1/50, hand held.
I decided to try my hand at colorizing an old black and white photo of Humphrey Bogart. Edited in Photoshop.
Here are a few photos from a recent trip to the Whistling Well Apple Orchard. Shot on GH2 w/ 25mm f/1.4 lens. I didn't bring my ND filter so they were all shot at very fast shutter speeds, 160 ISO, and anywhere from 1.4 to 2.8 f-stop. Corrected a bit in
Just received my Canon L 50-300mm f/4.5 zoom and stepped outside my apartment to test it out on the moon. Here's the best shot. It is cropped from the original. Shot it at f/5.6 on the GH2 at the full 300mm zoom, the crop on the GH2 gave me a little extra zoom to an effective FOV of 600mm I believe.
Minor editing in photoshop, just some leveling to bring out some details in the bright side which were nearly washed out. More tests to come! Labor Day - 2013 - Minnehaha Bluegrass Festival |
The Evolution of Media: How New Technologies Set the Course for Media Production & Consumption Bill Hager I wrote this essay in response to my trip to 2012 NAB/BEA conference in Las Vegas In his book On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin laid out his theory of evolution in which traits best suited for survival would be passed along resulting in the slow change and progress of species (1859). The progression of modern day technology has often been described as having features of Darwin’s theory. Certain technologies are favored by the market and thus live on while others may not be so lucky. You can see this in every kind of technology for example the hardware, software, file types, and equipment. This evolution is particularly noticeable and seemingly unpredictable in both the production side and the consumption side of media. The media elements that are most involved in this evolution are professional, prosumer, and indie on the production side and the public and how they attain their media on the consumption side. New technologies have evolved allowing new forms of media to be created and brought out to audiences in new ways. Cameras are getting smaller and cheaper while simultaneously getting better quality. The constant evolution of computers is allowing for public consumers to buy machines capable of powerful activities such as editing video. Meanwhile in the professional realm of production more and more companies are turning towards digital formats, leaving the clunky, older film format behind. To bring all of this new content to an audience is perhaps the fastest evolving most powerful technological tool created: the Internet. We can gain a better understanding of this process by looking at the evolution that has led us to this point and seeing how the prosumer, professional and consumer interact with new media and perhaps gain insight into what the future of media holds.
