Video Recording - Stage One

Today, I finally completed to install a video editing software on my computer, to begin recording and uploading videos on YouTube.

In hindsight, I regret not capturing/recording a few video clips during my Paris trip earlier this year. I also failed to use my GoPro action camera to record snorkeling underwater in Puerto Rico, and filming the kayaking tour adventure in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, this past summer. Those video clips could've been used for the channel introduction. 

To get used to the recording process, in a few weeks I am going to start by creating a test video to make sure the sound, lighting and camera settings are set correctly. 

On the first video I will be Painting in Light my motorcycle in the garage at night. It should be fun, and once the video is finished and uploaded, I will post a YouTube link to it. 

Enjoy the pictures! 

Kayaking And Landscape Photography

For the fist time ever, went kayaking with the love of my life in the Lehigh River. To say I had a great time is an understatement.

One thing I was not expecting, was to learn that this new hobby has inspired me and opened another door on my photography journey. Never in my wildest dreams I would've ever thought about combining kayaking with taking landscape photos. 

I need to be extra careful carrying my camera gear, and shooting while kayaking. The last thing I need is dropping my camera gear deep in the water. 

This is my favorite picture from my first ever kayaking adventure in the Lehigh River in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The kayak selfie was taken with a cheap point-and-shoot Sony Cyber-shot DSC-530 digital camera. 

I really like the background scene on this image. Even though I wasn't happy with the original plain dull grey sky, I used a replacement composite sky using Adobe Photoshop Elements. Once I get more comfortable with the kayak basics, and gain more experience doing this kayaking thingy, I am going to try incorporate photographing landscapes into this new hobby.
