Video - A "Moody" Golden Gate Bridge

10 minutes at the Golden Gate Bridge...


I went up to the Marin Headlands hoping to take in some amazing views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. I made my way up the Cliffs above Kirby Cove... but when I first arrived, I could not see more than 30 feet in front of me. I was a little disappointed and almost left However, I had nothing to do that afternoon and decided to hang out for a bit and see if the fog would burn off. After my coffee was finished, I noticed a brief clearing in the fog... and the bridge started to peak out. It was quite a breathtaking site! The city of San Francisco was also starting to show in the background as well.

Time-Lapse Video - Sunset Over the Charles

Attempting to do a time-lapse video for the first time... watching the sunset over the Charles. I learned a few things during the process:
1. Invest in a good tripod
2. Buy a cable release so I can take pictures without touching the camera
3. Use manual settings the entire time
4. iMovie sucks at importing still images (destroys the image quality)
5. I need to find some original music to use in the background

Anyone have suggestions for a video editor I can use to make time lapse videos?? (other than iMovie)

Some still shots from the sunset below:

Time-lapse Video - The Wave at Las Flores

A short time-lapse video featuring the wave at Las Flores. The resort I was staying at had a little happy cocktail hour on top of this cliff overlooking the ocean. As I was drinking fresh coconut juice + rum, I sent my camera up to take some pictures of the surf. The wave looks pretty good in the video, but this was actually the smallest day of the trip.
