  • Waves

    Waves


    A long piece of rope represents three dimensionally a series of waves floating in space, as well as producing sounds from the physical action of their movement: the rope which creates the volume also simultaneously creates the sound by cutting through the air, making up a single element.

    Depending on how we may act in front of it, according to the number of observers and their movements, it will pass from a steady line without sound to chaotic shapes of irregular sounds (the more movement there is around the installation) through the different phases of sinusoidal waves and harmonic sounds.

    But even though this could seem like a mere representation of what we can’t see for ourselves, beyond the persistence of vision, it connects with our most visceral side, combining the intangible beauty of the represented graphic with the brutality of the sound it produces, creating a hypnotic environment of audible results and unique visual stimulations.

  • 2013 Perseids Meteor Shower:  Fireball and Persistent Train

    2013 Perseids Meteor Shower: Fireball and Persistent Train


    I got really lucky and captured what I believe to be a meteor explosion with a resulting, expanding shock wave or debris ring.

    UPDATE: After being fortunate to have Universe Today cross post my vid, I learned more about the phenomena recorded here. While this does show a meteor breaking apart, the resulting, expanding ring is called a “persistent train” and is NOT a debris ring. Rather, it is glowing gas – charged gas that has been heated by compression caused by the meteor and giving off electrons (similar to how a neon sign works). It happens fairly often but it isn’t so regularly documented.

    http://www.universetoday.com/104149/incredible-footage-shows-a-perseid-meteor-exploding/

    Because I shoot at much higher resolution than 720p, I was able to provide (2) sequences in this video: (1) is with the full frame of each capture scaled/reduced and then cropped down to 1280×720, and (2) the other is with the full frame kept at resolution with just the region around the explosion cropped to 1280×720. I included each sequence twice – once at 24fps and the other at around 12fps.

    Stats for this timelapse sequence:
    Camera: Canon 7D
    Lens: Tokina 11mm-16mm/2.8
    Exposure: 20sec
    Iso: 800
    Aperture: 2.8
    Focal Length: 11mm
    Interval: 22sec
    Video Frame Rate: 24fps

  • Moments of Puglia

    Moments of Puglia


    They don’t call Italy “Il bel paese” – “The beautiful country” – for nothing, and it’s no coincidence. For my next project I decided once again to pay homage to my homeland, a place that always leaves an impression on my heart, the southern region of Puglia.

    There is a list called “1,000 Places To See Before You Die”. Casting a glance over it, one will notice that Italy – and Puglia in particular – boasts an enviable number of locations. With numerous UNESCO sites, pristine beaches, and enchanting destinations, it was difficult to restrict such beauty into a 2 minute video.

    But here it is anyway, a small taste of what this amazing region has to offer. I’m sure you’ll add it to your own list of 1000 places to see before you die!
