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.

Rhosneigr Park Jam 2010 Video

The video edit is finally finished. Not in HD unfortunately because I was having all sorts of problems and so converted to.avi.

Also, new designs have been added to West Shore Clothing Company. Perfect xmas presents for the extreme sports lover in your life. Click here to visit the redbubble store and browse the designs.

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).

Rhosneigr Park Jam 2010

Well I've just finished shooting/editing last week's Rhosneigr Park Jam event. It was a great week and I think Ben Todd and the rest of the team deserve a big pat on the back for all the hard work they put in to make it a success.
Unfortunately there wasn't much wind throughout the week, but that didn't dampen spirits, and with two jetskis on hand the week went ahead with engine power instead of wind power.

Rhosneigr Park Jam was sponsored by Flexifoil, Funsport, S2AS, Kitesurf Beaches and Anglesey County Council.

The images from the weeklong event can be found in the sports section of my galleries. Just click HERE to go straight there.

I still have a video to edit for the week, but that will have to wait until my week off next week.

I also spent a few hours yesterday at Rhosneigr shooting a lot of windsurfers and kitesurfers who were making the most out of the awesome wind we are having this week. The shoot should be up soon.

And last but not least, I will be in Cornwall next week (thursday to sunday) for the SKA Slider Jam event. Come say hi if you're around. If anybody would like some specific shots done whilst I'm there send me an email (addy on my site) beforehand and we can discuss your needs.
