nice framing mr boss man

[C Withers Media]

Yeah, you guys know John Randolph, right?

Thanks for the hotel room John, hopefully the trade was worth while.

Sorry about the quality on this one, it was edited on my laptop without a mouse.

Casey, not bad for a one-handed shot while you were hanging out the window.

nice framing mr boss man

Thanks, sir. Was actually a challenging picture getting a clean shot of the window and ball. Dark in the room -- bright as heck outside.

Yup. Kinda surprised we pulled that off all the way across the Golden Gate Bridge. Not even close to having car issues except for the extra fun for Casey hanging on going around that curve. Clearly it was quality driving... Albert driving the chase car and me driving mine. :biggrin

Totally understand. We had Go-pros attached to the car, plus hand-helds as well, etc. Sometimes it's just better/more fun to "get dirty" and shoot the handheld shots yourself. :)

Thanks, guys.

Had a good time implementing what I have learned over the past four months. I tried to make it all come together this weekend. I'm pleased with the results.

Wrapped up everything yesterday morning with a trip to Starbucks. Figured it was a great way to end things.

[tripod06]

What an amazing trip. I'm so glad that i was able to go. i wouldn't enjoy it any other way than with the best media group on the planet!

Casey were you hanging out the window of the Tahoe for that one and was Albert holding your belt?.....haha

Awesome shot!!!!!

Johnny car looks great, I think that should be a poster....

[C Withers Media]

I was hanging out of the window the entire span of the GG bridge and then some. Albert was driving and Mark was video taping with the second gopro. No belt holder on this one, and then Albert hit a turn hard and almost lost me. Happy to have big feet to hook on the seat for that one.

Just saw it via fb... great vid. I giggled a little at what you had laid out on the table. See something like that video is what I was talking about for the Cold Lake meet, doesn't have to be 100% professional like we debated before but simple and enjoyable to watch so those of us who don't go get a good recap. All I gotta say is it looks like you guys had a great time

I give you 4 thumbs up!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Great video. Total collaboration. I didn't shoot a lot but I did shoot the bridge material while Casey was hanging out the window. I also managed to shake John's hand while I was in the Yukon and he was in his ZHP. Good memories.

Well done to everyone involved in the trip. Looking forward to our next one.

[johnrando]

GREAT video!

[danewilson77]

Cool video. Bonus points for the hand shake. Bonus points for the landing on the bed, Casey. Bonus points for all of the smiles.

Will more video be coming?

Thanks, John.

I just stay busy while I'm shooting. I'm constantly looking for "that" shot. Sometimes I'm in the zone; I can see all of them. Other times I have to work hard so that I don't miss them. It's all part of the challenge.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Great coming out party for you Mark. I love the enthusiasm and the quality of the shots you were able to get in your favorite city in the world.

Thanks for the compliments on Ness. Casey made it pop. I've always said nothing beats a black car in the right light, that's why I like black cars so much. Frankly get it in the wrong light and it's nowhere near that. Casey just knows light and how to make it work in a picture.

Since no one mentioned it, I'll say something. You guys know that I favor left-side subjects in my photos, right? Well, this trip I conscientiously shot with a right-minded approach (more than half of my shots were right-sided subjects). Go back through my pictures and you'll see.

I was with Casey when he shot this one. It's such a cool shot. We were driving through SF, after we were done shooting in the Haight. We were stopped at a long light, Casey looks over and says, "there is a great shot". Takes it right from the car. BAM! A photographers mind at work, cool shot. I was driving of course, but I did barely even noticed the guy. Great to always have that camera at the ready.

[danewilson77]

Again....love the stories that go along with the pictues.

Blog requested of trip....

[UdubBadger]

framed very well. Reminds me of the guy who played Nightcrawler in X-Men

[C Withers Media]

^True. We are huge Beatles fans at our house and that shot reminds us of young John Lennon.

[UdubBadger]

eh.... it's a stretch probably the glasses help mostly but I'll give it to you.
