NY: GoPro Camera Testing\u2026<\/h5>\n


<\/p>\n

Figuring out the best settings for different GoPro scenarios\u2026<\/strong><\/h6>\n


<\/p>\n

20 March 2026:<\/strong> Another series of camera tests, this time with the GoPro. The goal is to figure out the best settings and positioning for the GoPro in different circumstances. I will primarily be using it for time-lapse night and sunrise\/set shots, but as I am bringing it I am trying to determine how else I can use it, and one idea was to “wear” it while walking thru scenes when I won’t have a lot of time for a carefully thought out photoshoot just to pick up some ambient shots\u2026<\/p>\n

NY: A Calm Day for a Hike\u2026<\/h5>\n


<\/p>\n

Enjoying a walk to the beach on the Northshore\u2026<\/strong><\/h6>\n


<\/p>\n

10 March 2026:<\/strong> The weather has finally eased up enough to get outside and the snow has mostly melted. I took advantage of the first nice day to go for a short hike at the Weld Sanctuary, one of my favorite nearby trails that leads to the beach. When I got to the beach the water was so calm and everything was just perfectly quiet and still — such a contrast to the harsh winter storms and winds that made it impossible to get outdoors for most of the last three months \u2026<\/p>\n
