Temperance River Cliff Jumping video

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Here is a video I shot on July 6, 2009 while up north for the Fourth of July. This is at the Tem­per­ance River State Park right on the North Shore. Peo­ple can jump off the cliffs sur­round­ing a pool of wa­ter near the mouth of the river.

It can be dan­ger­ous, so I rec­om­mend hav­ing at one other per­son with if you try it. If you’re a mi­nor, I also rec­om­mend hav­ing an adult present. Se­ri­ous in­juries and deaths have a oc­curred in this area, so al­ways be care­ful. This year, the cur­rent is es­pe­cially strong.

En­joy.

As you saw ear­lier, I am in Grand Marias, Minn. for the Fourth of July. While there I shot this pic­ture of the har­bor. The moon was out and the sky was nearly cloudless.

Grand Marais Fireworks 2009

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Last night, I at­tended my first Grand Marais (Minn.) Fourth of July fire­works. It was very cool.

In the past I’ve shot fire­works right around the neigh­bor­hood of ISO 200; f/11; 20 sec­onds — give or take. That has seemed like a good ex­po­sure to get both the fire­works’ bright­ness and the trails. How­ever, the fire­works at Grand Marais seemed to come quicker than they have in the past, so for some of the time, I went down to ISO 100 and 10 sec­ond ex­po­sures at f/11.

Here are the results:

20 sec. at f/11; ISO 200; f=35mm

20 sec. at f/11; ISO 200; f=35mm

10 sec. at f/11; ISO 100; f=35m

10 sec. at f/11; ISO 100; f=35m

20 sec. at f/11; ISO 200; f=35m

20 sec. at f/11; ISO 200; f=35m

20 sec. at f/16; ISO 100; f=35m

20 sec. at f/16; ISO 100; f=35m

Thanks for looking,
