Technical notes:
Recorded on a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V.

A vignette and color correction were applied in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.

Audio was recorded from a Lapel mic directly into Audacity via the mic-in port on my Dell Windows PC running Windows 7 (Intel i7 processor and USB 3.0 for a faster workflow). The audio was adjusted using the Compressor and Hard Limiter tools in Audacity, and synchronized with the video using the software Pluraleyes by Singular Software.

Due to the vignette, RGB Curves, and Fast color corrector, this video took 4 hours to render (normally a video of this length would take 20 minutes or less to render).

Synth in the House

geoffmobile.com

A behind the scenes look at my recent photography session. Concept still life of a Roland JX-305 synth and a Japanese stuffed animal bird.

Photo details:

Concept photo for Intermediate Photography class at Langara College in Vancouver BC Canada, October 2011.

Taken with available light (no flash). Silver reflector was used to bounce light onto synthesizer. Tripod, long exposure, timer, and mirror lockup were used. Grey card used to set manual white balance and get initial exposure. Some exposure bracketing and in-camera-histogram/blinking highlights on camera were used to find the final exposures.

No post-processing beyond a simple RAW conversion to Jpeg was done; this is all done in-camera.
Used Adobe RGB Color Space.

Suggested music to go with this photo:

We enjoyed a nice lunch at Milestones. Shown in video:

-interior of restaurant with people dining at lunch time
-the Grilled Wild Salmon Wrap with a side Caesar salad. Served on a naan bread, this was really tasty and surprisingly satisfying!
-Thanks very much!

This has been another “mmm – very nice” video from geoffmobile.com

Technical notes:
Recorded on a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V in Full HD 1080i. Manual white balance was calibrated to the restaurant’s interior lights to give a more natural color to the food (but the restaurant interior was mostly being lit from daylight so it appears bluish in color on the video).

See you next time!!

Today we visited the Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown and enjoyed a delicous lunch. I ordered the Pasta Special of the day which was a tasty Rigatoni served with Chorizo sausage and tiger prawns in a tomato sauce. My dining companion ordered the Beef Burger medium well done, with both Fries and a Caesar Salad, which he enjoyed a lot.

Shown in video:
