Edwige and I are preparing for another road trip and will need to travel light. Besides a duffle bag of clothes, we will each have a small backpack for when we are in the field. Here are the contents of each. Edwige's pack... Kurt's pack...

Tonight I was organizing some one-off photos from the past couple of years. Here are a few older images that you may not have seen...
I have a bunch of video from our Route 66 trip this past Spring that needs to be edited. I started messing around with iMovie tonight and came up with the following... (located in Route 66 Gallery)
It is not always easy to get the perspective I am imagining. Back in March, Edwige and I were shooting in the Petrified Forest for our Route 66 postcard series. In order to get a (horizontal) miniature's eye view, I need to get as low as possible, sometimes even lower than the subject I'm photographing.
For this particular shot, I had to use a smaller camera body and focus through the view finder without the aid of my 2x right angle viewfinder (doesn't fit my smaller camera). The view finder magnifies the image so its easier to focus. Also, I have to be honest... the tumbleweed was too far out of the shot, so Edwige gave it a "nudge" so that it would be in the frame. Something about this location that I didn't know... See those telephone poles in the background? They are no longer in use and indicate where the old Route 66 used to run. It is now grown over so the original road is no longer visible. If I had known this at the time of the shoot, I would have tried to include them in the photo. But I like the result even without them. |
