Shooting Training Courses

Just updated the events section of the portfolio with a couple shots that I took while covering and participating in some training courses. I've partnered with a number of firearms trainers to provide them with high quality photos to include with their after action reports (AARs) and marketing materials. If you're a firearms educator, I'd love to come out and take some photos and video for you. I'll definitely be bringing my rifle along to learn something along the way, too :)

Here's where I upload galleries for student download and printing.

Going aerial

I've recently gotten into the aerial flight and photography game with something called a Phantom 2 from DJI, who have an office in Austin, TX and are based out of Hong Kong. This particular multirotor has four motors and is operated by a set of joysticks over 2.4 GHz. It holds a GoPro Hero 3-series camera with a stabilized gimbal and I've set it up with a first-person-view (fpv) system that allows me to receive a live video feed at the ground.

It sure has been a blast, with a bunch of learning along the way. Here's a couple of stills:

And here's a few videos that I've put together of flights here in Pittsburgh and from a recent trip to the coast of Maine:

Too busy

With my current job in the oilfield abroad, I've just been too busy too keep this blog updated with my recent work. With my recent change to a rotation schedule, I'm hoping to do some more photography work back in Pittsburgh, especially with my wedding coming up. Sarah and I will be flying out to California for the honeymoon and I'm looking forward to making some nice images along Rt 1. Will be back some time!

Peace.
