Skatepark Shoot

New shoot up in the Sports gallery. Went down to Llandudno Skatepark and did a little self portraiture. Trying out some new editing techniques, using a new style for a (hopefully) upcoming skateboarding project.

Skatepark Shoot


Would you like a portrait in this style? Contact me and I can make it happen. I can do similar style for kitesurf, bmx, mtb, snowboard, or just a normal portrait, maybe at the beach, or in the forest.

£60 for a 3 hour session which includes 2 prints.

£35 for a 1 and 1/2 hour session which includes 1 print.

Additional prints may be purchased after the shoot.
Ideal as a gift for a loved one or friend.

Video restart

Well I was having so many problems with editing HD video that I have scrapped the first attempt completely. After about 4 minutes of edited 1080HD my computer memory gave up the ghost. I tried to render the four minutes I had as a part 1, and was then going to edit part 2 seperately. I set it off rendering to 1080HD and left it overnight. When I checked it it was at 0% after 5 and a half hours. Estimated time remaining was over 10 hours and increasing by about 12 seconds every second. Even if it had managed to complete 1% after 5 hours it would mathematically take 20 days to complete 100%, for a 4 minute clip! There must be a better way of editing HD video.
Anyway, I have now converted the HD .mov files to high quality .avi and I'm going to start again. The system should have no problem now as the files are less than 1/10 of their original size. It does mean that the final product won't be HD but it should still be good quality (fingers crossed).
