This video features a local, Ashland artist. I like her work so much that I have some of it hanging in my home and another piece at my office.

Before clicking on the video below be sure your speakers are on. A higher volume will provide for better effects.

Fun with LX3 on Hi Speed Burst mode set to music

I was playing around with the modes on my LX3 on my bike ride the other day around Lithia Park. By flipping the switch to SCN and then choosing “Hi Speed Burst” I was able to take six pictures per second. You lose a lot of quality in so doing, but the pictures aren’t bad if you are in good lighting and close to your target. In this series I wasn’t close enough.

Check out the fun you can have with putting these pictures together backwards with a program like Windows Movie Maker.

Reverse motion movie

Here is another Floater picture for you. And below is an HD video I took on my LX3 at the show. I forgot to follow my own advice and zoom before starting the video, but given my state of mind at the time it’s amazing that I remembered to take any pictures or a video.

The above video is Floater performing “Ghost in the Making” off of their Stone by Stone CD. This live performance at the Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass, Oregon on May 29, 2009 features an extended jam beginning at about minute 5 in this video.

I don’t know the person in this video, but I thought it was cool enough to share with all of you. It features some nice highlights of Ashland.

I’m at an orientation today in Eugene for those going abroad for the next school year from the Oregon University System. Perhaps I’ll meet Rachelle there. She is going to France. I’m going to Japan.
