Half-day Off in Sainte-Adèle

Hello fellows,

after an amazing weekend in Quebec City, today, I found the tiem for posting something new.

Last week, I took half day off from work for going to the dentist, afterwards I went around the small village I live in.
I ended up going to a place I like, because it always has something interesting to take pics of.

And even that day I found something to do.

‘Life in a Day’ Day

Hey guys,

so? Did you try this thing out? If so, how did it go?
I tried it, and I really enjoyed it. It was like ‘Bring your camera at work day’, instead of a child. Yes, because I had to work that day. I was planning to go somewhere really awesome and special, and then I ended doing overtime on saturday.. Really bad. But at least I really filmed what I usually do during my normal days, here in Canada.

I will upload my videos soon, maybe tomorrow, today it seems to be really crowded and slow the upload page.

Life in a Day -1

Hey guys!

Sorry if I did not write anything these last days, but I have been busy: working, researching and preparing a huge birthday cake for a close friend on the wrong date (that was really a huge surprise, in fact I made a mistake and I made the party in the wrong day ç_ç).
Today at least I found the time to write again something about this project ‘ Life in a Day ‘. I spent some time thinking how I would like to show a day of my life: maybe doing something special, going somewhere incredible, but then I realized that it wouldnt be a real day of my life, so I decided to just film my life from my point of view (kinda first person movie), where I show what I do during a typical day. In fact, even if tomorrow is saturday, I am going to work, and tomorrow I try to create my footage.

And you guys? Are you going to give it a shot? I mean, that’s something that everyone can keep for himself and show it to his/her children in 10 years. Wouldn’t it be cool? And then if you are lucky and/or interesting, you might end up on a movie.

Let me know, I am really curious, I have already seen some ideas, and they were all awesome. And you know why? Because they were simple, and showing what a normal person thinks and does in his ‘normal’ life. I dont like calling a life ‘normal’, because every single life is amazing and fantastic. Something I do here in Canada (where I live right now) might be boring for a person who lives in US, but it might be awesome for a person who lives, for example, in Argentina or Italy.

C’mon guys, take out your camera and film!

First shots with the new camera ‘Nikon D5000′

Hello guys,

today nothing special to highlight so far, for this reason I thought I could post some shots I’ve taken with the camera.
Days ago I bought a Nikon D5000 and during my tutorial, using the user manual, I have tried to get my first good shots.

I am pretty satisfied of my camera, the money worth the quality and the sensation it gives.

Here is some of my first shots using a real SLR:

“A Life in a Day” the first ‘social’ movie

Hello,

yesterday going around the web I found out something about this “A Life in a Day” idea.
You don’t know what it is?
Well, easy: On July 24th 2010, everyone who wants, can pick up a camera and  film his own life. Then he can submit the video.
Several videos will be selected to become part of a historic cinematic experiment.
