Happy Birthday Mom!

Since I couldn't get you the real thing...

Landscape in Motion

Some HD video for my series, Landscape in Motion. Took me forever to figure out the correct way to process it for HD output, but I'm happy with the results, they should look real nice full-screen.

This is a scene from a little lake north of Lake Mary in Flagstaff. Make sure the volume is up.

Here's what's making all the racket. The western chorus frog. Impressive vocals

Another video: Soap Creek Rapids on the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon Search and Rescue

Here's a link to an article I did about search and rescue in Grand Canyon.  Give 'er a click!

Skunked

Did some fishing at Ashurst Lake, just east of Flagstaff today.  I brought my camera to document the record pike I was going to catch.  Here's what I ended up with...

I will call it: "The OutCast"

Landscape in Motion: South Kaibab Trail

This is part one of a series of video's I'm calling: Landscape in Motion.  Kinda cheesy, I know, but the idea is to utilize the HD video capabilities of my digital SLR.  I compose the images the same way I would a still photograph, but instead of taking a single image, I record the scene.   Once I've built up more videos, I will make a tab with all of them at the top of my homepage.   Here are some scenes from Grand Canyons South Kaibab Trail.  I'm still new to the video editing and output processing, so it's not in HD yet.  Enjoy

Grand Falls

Went to Grand Falls on the Rez yesterday.  Took some pics.  Here's a few.  

The falls are almost 200 feet high, the largest in Arizona.  

The muddy water of the Little Colorado River is snowmelt from the White Mountains.  

Grand Falls carves out the very start of the Little Colorado Gorge, a tributary canyon to Grand Canyon.
