Another timelapse from Thanksgiving Day, this time of the sunset. I was pleasantly surprised how this turned out given a cloudless sky doesn't always make for the most appealing textural video. Shot with GoPro Hero 3+ Thanksgiving evening 2016 (Watch for the horse!). Processed in GoPro Studio with fresh music by me from an iPad... Continue Reading →
I Wasn’t Ready For This, no wait….
A favorite quote: Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. - Seneca the Younger Or if you prefer a more recent version: I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity. - Oprah Winfrey Preparation to me includes practice, education, fascination, and plain old playing around.
