Fish Tank Time-Lapse Tests with GoPro Hero3 White Edition

I have made a couple time-lapse videos with my fish tanks. One was in my smaller 10g tank the other my 35g tank. Both videos are posted below. Here are the stats for the videos.

Video #1: 5 seconds, 2820 pictures, 4.73Gigs.

Video #2: 5 seconds, 4712 pictures, 6.98Gigs.

These were not shot in the best of conditions. It was really to test out the underwater housing that came with the GoPro. That being said since I made two videos the housing was working fine so no loss of a GoPro to water damage. you can watch the videos here or over on my youtube channel. http://bit.ly/BigAlsPhotographyYouTube

Photo Re-edit

So I have been playing around with some of my old photos that I have already processed. After learning new "tricks" I have made a few much much nicer then originally done. Here is one of them.

GoPro Hero3 White Version Cloud Timelapse Test

I just bought a GoPro Hero3 White Edition to use for Time-lapse photography. This is a test to see how it works and what the quality is like. So far its not to bad. I still have more tests to try on it though.
There is some sun flare on the right side in the video. I couldn't tell with the app due to the sun so that is something to watch out for. I also bought the Tripod mount kit so I can set it up and leave it running when I have other things to do.

I'll do a review on the GoPro later on.

The Witches Well and Judgment Altar Re-visit

I'm planing a second trip to the Judgement Altar and Witches Well soon. The first time I went I got some shots like the one posted below and some video. The issue was the timing. It was late in the day probably around 5:00pm when I went so it was getting dark and also a storm was rolling in which made it worse. This time I will go earlier and with better light.

I am sure the results will be better since my skills have improved since the first time I went. I can't wait to see what might be around the alter this time. Any suggestions for other places to check out please let me know.

Sad Day

So this morning my grandmother passed away. We saw it coming so it wasn't a big surprise. 

The thing that hurts is that the last day where she was really "there" was thanksgiving. The problem is due to my retail job I had to work that day (Black Friday which started on Thursday) so I wasn't able to go see my family. So due to that I missed my last opportunity to see her in good health. 

So I am more determined then ever to get out of retail and into photography 100%. I know it won't happen right away, but I will make it happen somehow.
