Red Shutters

Yes, I did take a slight hiatus from posting to my Blog.  As a single dad my daughter who is about to turn 13 came before anything else.  Now with her being close to grown, or at least that is how it seems I have gotten back to producing new images and re-editing to older ones for fun.

This is from a series of images I originally photographed in Vietnam in 2006 and recently have re-edited to produce a more abstract image as the final result.

The image has ten layers using various blend modes to come up with this result.

It is titled Red Shutters.

I came across a very interesting snapshot of a spec video shot by Ken Arlidge using the Canon 5D Mark II. It seems the revolution is here so to speak.

In his words: "The results were remarkable and it is clear that this camera is a viable tool in the business of making television commercials."

Ken Arlidge is obviously a pro and knows how to shoot motion. While many of us may not be as adept as he this certainly can open up possibilities for us doing video personally and/or professionally.

It really is a beautiful piece of work he has done. I only wish all Coke commercials were this enjoyable.
