Photography in the Mountains: Part 1




So I'm on day 1 of my little photography excursion (ok it's really a vacation).
So far no good! It's beautiful here but there isn't a whole lot to shoot. I tried earlier to do a video review. I wanted to do a head to head comparison of film and digital. It could have been great because I have a canon film camera to pair with my 5d mark II but I couldn't find anything with an appropriate variety of color, tone and texture to really show the differences between the 2 media. Now I'm trying to write this blog post on my iPad and I spend as much time hitting the backspace key as I do typing actual letters. The typing experience on iPad is freaking horrible. If you plan to use ipad for word processing you'd better forget it. Oddly enough I type faster, and more accurately on my iPhone. Ok moving on...





I still plan on doing at least 2 videos from here but I have to come up with better topic ideas because there is literally almost nothing around me to shoot. Maybe that's the real test of a photographer's talent; whether or not he can find a good shot when there isn't really a shot to get. Hmmm...maybe some portraiture, that's an idea.

Ok that's all for now. Be sure to frequent my site. Be cool
