First post of 2015 ...

It's easy to take pictures when you surround yourself in stunning environments and have a fairly decent DSLR in hand.

Not much progression has happened over the past few years and it could be because my camera is always set on Aperture Priority (AV) keeping shooting straightforward and simple.

2015 GOAL: Move into the world of Manual Exposure (M) and master it.

I considered buying a new DSLR but realized I have yet to master my Canon 40D. This is where purchasing a new GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition comes in.

My Canon does not record video and this is something I would like to get into. A new hobby for the new year. One thing that became clear during university was that making videos was quite difficult and I kind of sucked at it.

2015 GOAL: Practice. Practice is everything.

I spent a few semesters learning about Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Both of these programs will be very useful when it comes to editing my GoPro videos.

2015 GOAL: Don't lose what you learn but rather push forward at becoming extremely proficient.

Here is a one minute video that took me about an hour to put together. What else is one to do when they are at home with the flu and a fever?! I will apologize for the low quality. I am currently working on upgrading my computer so that I can copy files in high resolution. My newest technology doesn't play well with my old technology. Boo.
