These Little Instagram Sized Videos Rock!
One of my favorite things to do when out shooting photography is to create giant-sized panorama shots. With today's digital cameras shooting massive sizes of resolution, a 6-photo panorama can easily become a 4 foot tall by 16 feet wide photo. I've built up quite a collection of them! But, so far, anyway, have only printed a few. Not long ago I was reading some or another nerdy photo tech article and came across the idea of turning high quality panoramas into a moving video. I was already stoked about the idea from using the Instapan app with my Iphone.

My concentration is going to center around all that is San Diego for anybody's journalism or advertising purposes. Go see my stock photography! I started this part of the business with a collection I have called Farmers Market. After all, I go to mine every week, religiously, and have gotten to know vendors and other shoppers as one does. Suddenly, I realized I should be documenting it all! It's fun! Each week I shop and after getting my food, return to stroll with my camera. When I get home, I take the bounty into my studio and shoot it as still life subjects. This gives rise to another aspect of all of this and that is creating props and backdrops with which to display. Fortunately, San Diego has no shortage of second hand and thrift shops to go in search of quirky things I can use to photograph fruit and vegetables. But again, Continue Reading
