Giga Bytes Smoothly Transformed to Tera Bytes!

Time is playing some funny games with me.
Shooting, processing, shooting, shooting, and shooting, and simply have not time left to process pictures not to mention videos. Have not been so busy for years!

Positive aspect of those circumstances is that when looking briefly at most of the shots I had taken recently, they do not need any post processing at all! Got them right in the camera. Videos are the pain though, especially disk space wise. My another 2 TB disk is almost full. Having uploaded Steve Hackett's  2.5hrs concert footage I just realized I need again new disk. We used to work with giga bytes, now I smoothly switched to tera bytes simply. B letter all of a sudden unnoticeably switched to T. Recently uploaded Steve Lukather interview filmed in Graz before his concert.



I am trying to organize myself between different concerts, interviews, workshops and my landscapes.  Working also on printed album with some of my better work, and hope to have if for sale in few months.

Weather got really good, and I was able to spend few days outside also filming. The other day I went to Hohe Wand for sunrise where I also filmed, some time later had nice session by Ottenstein Lake, in May I will be able to share new video. I really started to enjoy mixing filming with photography. However I must say doing it all on your own is extremely hard and time consuming. Here's short trailer:

Shooting Water. Digging Through Piles of Shot Material.

I managed to cut my latest video about how to shoot flowing water explaining usage of filters to achieve slow shutters speeds during a day. Took me a while because I was quite tight on time with many assignments. Different footage keeps piling and awaits its turn in the queue.

Every time I go for a shoot I try also to take some video footage, which is sort of a burden especially when it comes to carrying equipment but on the other hand it opens up so many new opportunities starting with simply documenting sessions and ending with long time DVD project.



Besides documenting landscapes sessions, trips I also film action during concerts I shoot, having in mind different documentary about concert photography. Here I have to overcome different problems starting with extremely low light and horrible sound quality when recorded by camera microphone. I am contacting bands asking if I can use original well recorded sound tracks, so it will take some time. Here's short sequence out of already something like 20 hours of footage taken at different stages and different concerts. Final version most probably look different and way better!
