Eric Brazier has created an interesting video of driving around Montreal. He’s also, possibly even more impressive, put together a mounting for his Canon EOS 5D Mark II inside his car. Building a “MacGyvered/ghetto rig,” in his words, Brazier mounted his Induro tripod on the passenger side of his car. Check out his full post for the video, the story, and behind-the-scenes photos.
Check out Brazier’s site for more of his work, including his Photo Blog, The Daily Mobile. Nice work, Eric!
Raised all around the United States due to her father’s Air Force career, Robin Black is no stranger to different landscapes. Living in California for the past twelve years, she’s settled down a bit, and does the majority of her outdoor photography in the Sierra Nevadas, throughout the Southwest and on the California coast. An award-winning photographer, you won’t soon find her shooting on the runways of New York or Paris. She is deeply passionate about the nature and how our sun illuminates it.
Strategically located in Los Angeles, Black can reach the inspiring locations of her choice quickly. “L.A. makes a great base for landscape photography because it’s pretty easy to get up to either the west or eastern side of the Sierras from L.A.,” she explains. “The desert is close by, the coast is close by, so I can drive about three hours in any direction and be someplace great for photography.”
Scott Bourne and Richard Harrington posted the first part of a video on the 3Exposure site featuring panoramic shooting at the Las Vegas Speedway. This video features Bourne shooting horizontal panoramic images. The second part promises to feature Harrington shooting vertical panoramic images in HDR.
Check out Bourne shooting with an Induro CT214 carbon fiber tripod. Bourne calls this model, “one of my favorite lightweight, affordable, carbon fiber tripods.” He demonstrates the bubble level, and stresses the importance of keeping your shots level for stitching in the postproduction process.
