Shot some video of my friend Fletcher, from Austin, at the Irving, Texas skatepark. All shot on my Canon SD750 digital camera. Of course, this footage on Youtube is somewhat degraded. The original quality vid is really nice.

Another SD750 shot
Last night when I got home I noticed that the interior reflection on our glass door was creating an interesting image — a mix of inside and outside. The colors were cool too. Click for the full-size image.
Macro Snowman
A little Christmas image using the macro setting. Kinda cool.
Aikido image “art”.
I took one of the images from the Aikido demo gallery and played with Photoshop filters. Simple stuff – but the results are kind of cool. Click the image to go to the gallery.
Canon SD750 and video

Here’s a quick video, shot with my Canon SD750, of my friend Paul skating Havik skatepark. The video is compressed to a 9.5 meg QuickTime file — the original files are really good quality.

For short clips edited together, I have to say that using the digital camera is a lot easier than using a camcorder. When you are ready to put them on the computer, you just dump the clips into whatever application you are using (in this case iPhoto and then iMovie). Much easier than finding and importing stuff from a tape. My camera takes pretty high quality video, which means big file sizes, but my 2 gig card was plenty. I may get an even bigger card for it. I can see using this for video a lot.
Sadly, this is the last week for Havik Skatepark. I’m sorry I didn’t make it out there until last night. It’s kind of far from my house, but I do think it would have been worth the drive a couple of times a month. I need to be more willing to drive a little to a good spot.
