Inspiration: Tempus II by Philip Heron

Extreme slow motion shot on the Photron SA1.1

The shot of the guy karate chopping the cinder block looks incredible painful.

New Photos

I had the chance to go on a drive through the country on the weekend, it was a foggy rainy day but this still presented some interesting photo opportunities.

The smell from the Canola was incredible.

Inspiration: Brain Farm Cinema Phantom Camera Reel

I haven't done an inspiration post in a long time mostly due to lack of time to search the internet for amazing clips to feature.

This one was just so amazing that I had to make the time to feature it. So check it out, I will let the visuals speak for themselves.

Also check out some more clips shot on the amazing Phantom camera by Brain Farm

Five Second Project “Countdown”

Here is my entry for the Five Second Project "Countdown"

I modeled the bombs in Cinema 4D and composited them in After Effects. The clouds are made with Particular and the lens flares of course is Optical Flares.

This was a fun project for me as I have never modeled anything in Cinema before.

Inspired by in game loading screens from Green Day: Rock Band

I did a quick shoot with a friend of mine a couple months ago and finally got around to editing the images. I used a fairly new lens that I got last summer but I had never used it for portrait photography before. The lens is a 70mm sigma f2.8 which is a macro lens but it can be used for pretty much anything.
I was really impressed because the photos turned out incredibly sharp as compared to the stock lens that the camera came with. Needless to say I didn't have to sharpen the image at all.
