I Couldn't Ask More for a better GIFT


Me and Zyan 

This year I spent Christmas with my Fiancee's extended family in Scarborough. 

Never before have I had my fiancee's nephew sleep in my arms while the party goes on throughout the night. I knew he was tired and he just fell asleep. I couldn't depart away from this.

The Final Frontier of a passionate film maker


I recently finished watching this video about a stellar space-man navigating a space-station so a bunch of people can watch Charlie Chaplin and the moon. Is there a story to this.. sure a very short one with no plot at all. But I think the film makers just wanted to create a futuristic, space station orbiting the moon from a garage studio. To me with "no money into the project and a bunch of people who are just passionate about what they love to do," I give them alot of credit to their imagination and creativity. 

Not everyday we get to watch something like this right? Especially the lunar eclipse that passed us this morning. This is wicked! Great job to this team. 

Watch the Behind the scenes as they film everything using a green screen



Next Lunar Eclipse is in 2090

Updated.

Okay somebody did do a Time Lapse of the Eclipse last night but it wasn't for me.
iPhilms you rock!

This is his Time Lapse

...and i'm missing this one!!! WTF?

Will anyone do a Time Lapse for me?




You can watch the Lunar Eclipse Tonight (well, early tomorrow morning technically) as it will be December 21, which is the Winter Solstice. Sky gazers and Astronomers will be able to see something occur that hasn't happened in almost 500 years. That being the full moon lunar eclipse occurring on the shortest day of the year, aka the Winter Solstice.
A total lunar eclipse, which occurs as the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned and the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, will be best viewed from 12:30 a.m. tonight and it will reach its fullness around 2:30 a.m., says Thomas Lee Hench, an associate professor at Delaware County Community College, in an e-mail. It will last until about 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.
"This eclipse is unusual in that it occurs along with the winter solstice (the first day of winter) and a full moon. While always interesting, this eclipse will be viewable in our area and at totality the moon will be bathed in ruddy light," wrote Hench, who teaches astronomy as well as technical and university physics at the college. "In earlier times, this reddening was view as related to blood with dire consequences for the people observing it.
So if it isn't too cloudy, check it out in person, or if you are not able to see because of bad weather, check out NASA.com for pictures and video of the event.

The Evolution of a Blogger

Anyone who has been blogging or has just started blogging should have this on their page. Or at least understand where blogging came from.

Close Yours Eyes | BMW Ad


How does a person remember ads? BMW will tell you. BMW flashed an audience with a blinding light that included a cutout of their logo. When the audience was told to close their eyes, they still saw the letters: BMW.
The video explains that the effect it's akin to staring at the sun for too long, when you close your eyes, you can still sorta see a spot there (or go blind). BMW used that to their advantage, flashing a bright screen during their commercial that included a cutout of the letters BMW, so when the audience was instructed to close their eyes, they saw BMW projected against their eyelids.
It's creative advertising (and they say it was harmless) and the focus group seemed mightily impressed with the effect. It tied into the commercial quite nicely too, check out how it was done in the video above (though the flash effect doesn't work over YouTube). [Wired

Awesome Special Effects. Who knew that reflective clothing would be cool one day.
Amazing design on the bike and the airplane.

The movie was called TRON Legacy. Why wasn't TRON the main character?

I went on a movie date with my fiancee today and I brought her to Eglington Town Cineplex Odeon for the late show at 10:30pm. I expected a sold out house but we sat infront of an annoying group who spoke an annoying language. Don't you hate that?
Anyway, TRON, good show and I hope there isn't a sequel to this movie coz that would suck!

Porable Lighting Workshop

My favourite weapon of choice at the workshop

We tried a unique technique using a Rear Flash sync and just zoomed in-out of our subjet

One of our Flash Units, Vivitar with a Soft-box and Cybersync transmitter and receiver.

Using a cut-out piece of cardboard and a vivitar flash unit with a Blue Gel filter

(Our example model, Peter) we demonstrated a stensil style lighting

I was given a surprised EARLY Christmas present from my fiance. It was a Voucher, a PORTABLE LIGHTING WORKSHOP Voucher. LOL. This happened last weekend but I learned alot about the use of Portable Speedlights with soft-boxes and umbrellas. We discussed the famous sub-culture of Strobiest lighting. I think its wicked but not wicked for my pocket. So anything that will do the job right without hurting my budget is great. Our instructor, Len Van Bruggen is an award-winning photographer, owner and founder of Lens Factory

I met some local photographers who attended the workshop and we learned different styles and techniques about lighting set-ups and the camera we use. 

Check out the pics and feedbacks are always welcome.
