Happy New Year

Posted by Gunther on December 28, 2011

I hope Christmas was good to one and all!
Santa dropped off a brand new point and shoot camera, a Lumix FG3. Here’s a few snaps. Im quite satisfied by its sharpness and quality. It’s light and easy to use.

Arts and Greens now in the history books!

Posted by Gunther on November 24, 2011

This last weekend was spent at the art show, I mingled with other artist, talked to potential customers and basically had a good time showing my photo art. I sold several pieces and walked away with a little bit of cash. Hurray! Here’s a few snaps Wally took of the table and me.

Me at Raceway Park (Indy)

Posted by Gunther on November 8, 2011

This is a picture that Paul took of me at Raceway Park. Paul was the brains behind this trip, I was just stating to learn film analysis. We were asked to determine the ride height of a Mopar Funny Car at the end of the track, when it’s at maximum speed. So we hauled all this equipment down to Indianapolis, for the event. We ran an AC inverter off a van that we had to keep running the whole time. The camera is a Kodak Ektapro (it belongs in a museum now), the white box is the main processor for 1000 frames per second (a big 512 pixels wide), the box above that is a S-VHS deck (another museum piece) used to record each event. Above that is the intensifier which shutters each frame to about 1/100,000 of a second. Which Paul determined, we needed to stop a car moving about 130 mph at a 90 degree angle to the camera. As I remember we got about 2 frames, enough to do the measurements for ride height. I think I actually lost a few pounds since then, it looks like I was really enjoying the in field burgers!

Reaching Out

Posted by Gunther on November 8, 2011

I would really like some feedback on this image, I don’t know if I should include it in my portfolio?
It was shot in April of this year.

I spent some time today with my new friend Bob. We went to an old stomping ground: Cranbrook Art Institute. All these are HDR processed from 3 images, shot with a tripod.
