These two clips are part of an upcoming project, but considering this is more of a traditional photo type thing (compared to the straight video stuff I’ve been cracking away with) it seems fitting to have them up here. The process was relatively simple, I went on google earth, found a few spots where I could grab a good skyline of Edmonton without being in the middle of a road. Went there, parked a tripod with my D7000 and a an intervalometer attached and shot in aperture mode while checking the screen every now and then to make subtle adjustments. Processing the 240+ raw photos for each shot on my blazing fast mac mini with raid 0 ssd setup still chugged to apply my color corrections and compress to a jpeg series. Anyhow, it’s tedious and time consuming but, overall not much more difficult than taking a single shot. Oh yes, I used some software to produce a near realistic camera movements (not sure if that’s staying in yet). This is a non skyline shot taken at K-Days this summer, similar settings (more than twice as long though), for a different music video

It might be time for me to revist this stuff. I took this shot for CSG (the marketing company I work for). I was sent out to get shots of this townhome without any art direction, so I recall looking at the 3D rendering for a good 20 minutes before I left, I wanted to see how close I could get with a photograph and this is how I did. The windows look a bit weird and the electrical plugs haven’t been hooked up yet but not bad.

Alright, so I’m a little hesitant to post these as I’m not sure if those in the ad world want to reveal what I assume everyone already knows, every advert image is photoshopped to death. In fact, these aren’t even the finished images, they’re just how far I went before handing them off to our graphic artists at work. Anyway, questions comments…etc. Jesse

These are some shots of a luxury condo downtown Edmonton, this was my first attempt at architecture photo jazz. I’ve gotten a lot of practice since snapping these, and gotten much better, these were educational for me. Being a completely new kind of shoot, I was a little out of my comfort zone but, I think I’ve gotten the hang of it. Yes, it has been literally months since my last post, I’ve had my web design hat on for a while, but I’m still shooting, and will be like crazy in the coming months so stay tuned.
