New Video Up
I just posted a new video I produced recently. It is not going to get me a golden globe yet. It was fun to play with…I am learning new software. Cyberlink Power Director and Adobe Premier Pro. Adobe is far better and I am afraid I wasted my money on Cyberlink. Adobe is allot more expensive and is going to be allot of work to figure out but the detail and control is awesome. My video was shot with the canon G9 in time-lapse mode.

I did get a Canon HV30 and I am very pleased with my purchase. I was fortunate to get to Circuit City when they were closing down and they had one left. I am still going to mainly concentrate on Photography and push myself to get better, but I am going to play with video. I feel learning and being capable with video will only compliment my photography.

New Car!
Ok so it was time to help out the economy and General Motors. I promised myself to get a VW Passat but the chev Impala was so reasonable in price and after driving it I was impressed enough to give GM another go. I will have to wait 4 more years for the passat…oh well we could not afford one anyways. It has been a week and I am still loving the chev and want to put a shout out to Ward , My buddy at the GM Dealership in Huntsville. http://www.edmonds-chevrolet-pontiac-buick-gmc.com/

twitter and smugmug
There is tons of stuff going on right now!
I will start by saying I have opened a Twitter account http://twitter.com/photomuskoka
I am unsure why I tried this other than to try it…..hmmmm . So I will see how it goes. If I am not impressed or don’t see a need for it I will quit. I see alot of other people and companies using it , there must be a reason.
I am VERY impressed with my smug mug account! Easy to set up. Looks great and has tons of features. I downloaded a Lightroom plug in that uploads directly to my smugmug account. http://www.photomuskoka.com/

New Domain & Photo Website
I have been searching for a good place to store and share and distribute my photos. I have been researching it to death and finally decided on smugmug. It seams to have everything I have been looking for. Unlimited storage, customizable pages and gallery's and a place to sell my images on line and has a very nice look to the gallery's with image protection . I will no doubt let you know how the possess goes.
I also purchased a new domain name and I am very excited to see what will develop with it! www.photomuskoka.com !! check it out! I have always been told the Muskoka name has marketing value and I hope that is correct, especially with google.

2010 G8 Summit Accommodations
As of now we are considering renting our house for the 2010 G8 Summit in Huntsville Ontario Canada. June 25-27 2010. There will be a great need for places to stay for the thousands of people who will be covering the event. Security, delegations, protestors, media and support staff. It will be a very interesting time to be in Huntsville but we would rather be in a quiet spot on a lake with our RV for the month. Accommodations will probably pay us not to be here.
If anyone would like information regarding renting the house please email us.
