[Video] Slow Motion Video Photo Booth using RED Epic camera

I love photo booths.

Earlier I posted about how to get the best wedding photo using video.

This idea uses a RED Epic camera to capture wedding guests in slow motion.

Great edit on this video too.

WEEI's John Dennis Does Not Think Win-Win

Questionable moves hamper once-dominant WEEI:

(John) Dennis defended the style of his show, saying the hosts’ occasionally abrasive tone prompts listeners to be more engaged.

“If you don’t ruffle the feathers of your listeners, then you’re not doing your job,” he said. “And the end result of that is you have some people upset with you. But the last thing I want to do is say, ‘Oh yes, I agree with you. That’s a very good point.’ That’s not good radio. Good radio is stuff that prompts people to respond and react.”

I disagree with John.

Think Win-Win.

Dear John, Read this:

How to Disable Spotify Web Player.

I love twitter for customer support.

A while ago, Spotify came out with a web player. When that happened, all Spotify links opened in the web player instead of the Spotify app.

That was annoying.

Now I've got a fix, via twitter.

@SpotifyCares Spotify links now open Spotify web player instead of my Mac App. How do I disable web player?

@SpotifyCares That worked. Thanks.

That sets Spotify links to ignore the web player and go to the app.

How to get the perfect wedding photo with video

One of the jobs that I never wanted to do was to be a wedding photographer or videographer.

Too much pressure.

If you miss a moment, then it's gone forever.

I've even heard stories about weddings being recreated because the photos didn't come out.

So when I go to a wedding, I take photos for fun and share them.

At my cousins Ally and Joe's wedding, I was shooting video of the wedding ceremony with my Samsung Galaxy Camera. I was capturing some beautiful moments and then this happened:


Image: Ally and Joe, Married!

The perfect end to a fun ceremony.

This image is really one frame from the video I was shooting at the moment.

Some photographers use video to capture moments that they might have missed with a still camera.

When I was reviewing the video on my computer, I decided to share this as an image.

I was reviewing the video using Quicktime, so here's how I did it.

HOW TO SAVE A VIDEO FRAME AS AN IMAGE [Mac Version]

1. PAUSE video on frame I want to capture.

2. Take a screen shot by pressing [Command] [Shift] [3]


Image: Screen Shot

Note: The reason I take a screen shot is that when you try to capture the Quicktime window alone the 'player controls' are saved too and overlayed on top of the saved image.

3. Open the saved screen shot and CROP and SAVE with SKITCH, or another capture program.

4. UPLOAD to Flickr.

There are many other ways to do this.

One way would be to do it all on the Samsung Galaxy Camera.

HOW TO SAVE A VIDEO FRAME AS AN IMAGE ON A SAMSUNG GALAXY CAMERA

1. PAUSE the video in the VIDEO PLAYER

2. Make the screen image Full SIZE.

3. CAPTURE the image from the screen.

Note: When swiping the screen to capture the image, a video control pops up, and that will have to be edited out.

4. SHARE TO Flickr.

This is cool. I tweeted it:

This is a great program.

I searched the archive and chose 'Open Content Images' the 'Natural World' filter and 'van Gogh' to see how it works.

Happy 88th Birthday Mom!

It's my mom, Millie Garfield's, 88th birthday. She's one of the internet's oldest bloggers, and blogs at My Mom's Blog. We also do a video blog together called I Can't Open It.

We do have fun together.

We celebrated her birthday in style with an exciting trip to Lowe's to buy her a lightbulb. ;-)

Every year we take her on a mystery ride for dinner, and this year we went up to Gloucester to eat outside by the water.

We went to Latitude 43 Restaurant and Bar.

This is a great place for fresh fish and sushi.

My mom and I had the lobster and shrimp scampi.

Here I am showing it off like they do on our favorite local restaurant review show, The Phantom Gourmet.



We had a great meal and a fun time happy birthday mom.

What the Hell Are You Doing?!
A Serious Stare Down the Barrel of an Ordinary Life

Speech to the World Domination Summit in Portland, OR

July 7, 2013

How many of you listen to public radio? How many of you listen to Marketplace? (I have totebags for all of you backstage.) How many of you are fans of This American Life? Ok good. Well I’m going to steal liberally today from how they construct their show each week. Of course it also means I’m stealing liberally from every playwright… ever. My life: in three acts. Here we go.

Act One: I Always Knew What I Wanted To Do. Or Pretty Close To That...

A Visit to Harpoon Beer Hall, Boston

Harpoon Beer Hall is a great take in for a unique selection of fresh beer form the Harpoon Brewery in Boston.



On this visit one of the samplers was a selection of four Saisons. These were test brews by four different brewers. I enjoyed them all but like #1 best.



The parmesan pretzel had a lot of flavor. Next time, I'll try something else. ;-)

It was great to meet up again.

I loved hearing his talk, about him. Reminded me of me.
