Canon 30D Stop Motion Video

Orrin took his Canon 30D and took over 8,000 photos to build this great stop motion music video for +/- (Plus Minus). I have started to play with doing slide shows and stop motions as well and Orrin's project is an excellent example of where you can take your creativity with the tools at hand.

On a side note, I love the note that Orrin said he has used up over "8% of the shutter lifespan that Canon says one should expect from my camera."

I think the results are well worth the effort.

Early New Years Resolution

At one point this year I was maintaining over 6 different personal websites and blogs, all with different purposes and focus. I was also running a side business that hosted several other blogs and websites for several clients. This in addition to my full time job.

Several months ago I entered total burn out and decided to stop all posting for all the sites and to look at my options.

Since then I sold one website (and was able to purchase a nice new lens.) I stopped posting to two other blogs that I was maintaining. Finally, I told all my hosting clients that I was leaving the business at the end of this year.

So for the past couple of months I have been enjoying having the extra time to spend on my photography. My goal for next year is to try and post a new picture to my photo blog on a daily basis. I will also get back into the habit of posting more Canon news stories on this site as well. In addition to news stories, I also want to add some depth to the information provided on this site. Rather than just a PR reposting site, I want to provide some real value to the visitors of this site.

I hope you enjoy the new direction I'm heading.

Enjoy,

Mark
