UPenn Classic – postponed

All geared up and nowhere to go! I’m starting to feel like a bad luck charm. It was 2011, and we were preparing to go to the UPenn Clover Star Classic in Philadelphia, PA, the former name for this competition. Just like two years ago, the car was packed, the cameras were clean, but a looming snow storm postponed that event too! We still hope to cover this event if we are available at the makeup date. We hope friends, family, and everyone in the northeast stays safe and warm through the upcoming storm.

Being that we had our event cancelled due to snow, here are some appropriate images. We get snow here occasionally. Immediately after the snow falls is my favorite time to make photos. In light of the short time where the snow clings to tree limbs and bark you can create some fleeting images.

Below is an image made on actual film. This is a Kodak slide film exposure that was scanned to create a digital image. At this time, I no longer shoot film. The convenience and immediacy of digital is hard to give up.

Again, we hope to make it to the UPenn Classic soon!

Snowstorm Time Lapse

With the largest snowstorm in six weeks approaching the area 🙂 I decided to try an intervalometer experiment to make a time lapse film. My cousin introduced me to the concept a few years ago, but this is my first stab at it.

Starting at 9:30AM on Friday February 5, I set my Nikon D200 to take an exposure every 30 seconds while being pointed out my front window. I wanted to capture the falling snow, the traffic outside, and the eventual dig out. Overall, I think it worked pretty well! Although, I wish that I was able to get a better view of how many inches fell, and how high the snow pile was in front of our house after the many sessions of digging out our parking spaces and sidewalks. I hope you enjoy my little project! It helped to stave off the cabin fever.

Did you do any photo or video projects during the snowstorm? Maybe you had a similar experience with weather this winter. If you have any suggestions for me to set up for the next time, please let me know!
