Planet Honolulu

Some people call them “mini planets” others call them “polar panoramas.” Regardless of what you call them they are fun to make and are good to have in your Photoshop bag of tricks. We started this polar panorama by combining the two photos below. We used the stars from the photo of Teddy Bear Cove in Bellingham, Washington. We then converted this photo of Honolulu, Hawaii into using the Polar Coordinates option in Photoshop CS6. After some additional tweaking of the panorama we combined the two images for the final result below. We have only made three of these thus far that we actually like and you can see them here: Equalmotion.com/polar-panoramas

Harlem Shake at WWU

The Harlem Shake videos are everywhere and Western Washington University decided to give it a try. Here’s a few photos and a video of the Harlem Shake at Western. The video wasn’t intended to be an actual “Harlem Shake” video. It was just to show local students creating one. That’s not really how people have received it though. Make sure to checkout all of the high quality photos Colin Diltz captured of the even here. Here’s the video I captured for The Bellingham Herald:

First A1 Photo in The Bellingham Herald | Change in the day job

At the beginning of 2013 I switched from being a web developer / IT Manager at The Bellingham Herald to the Multimedia Editor. Although for years I have taken photos and video on the side for the Herald on the side I am not officially capturing images and video for the Herald. I am very excited about the new opportunity. On Saturday I had my first A1 photo featuring one of my eagle photos. I also created a special multimedia section featuring eagle photos, video and a map locating the best places to watch eagles in the Whatcom County. You can find that section here: BellinghamHerald.com/bald-eagles I am now going to feature more of my Bellingham Herald work here also since this site is also my portfolio website.
