Waiting Game
We’re well overdue for good swell, here’s a bit of recent landscape work I’ve been doing to occupy my free time. Keep your fingers crossed!!

Tried to get some sunset shots the last few nights in the rain.
August 1, 2012
Hope everyone got a few waves yesterday morning, looks like the tropics might be starting to churn. I made the conversion to the dark side, as they say, and purchased a used Canon 7d. Here is the first round of photos from the dark side.
Side Note: Thanks to Johnny Grasso for 1) cleaning up the park today, and building it for that matter and 2) letting me borrow his kit lens so I could take these photos. J5 – you’re a legend.

I have never encountered so many gnats in my life. What a miserable shoot, it was nice to come home to these though.

We had an amazing weekend at our first VT MTB Fest and we’re hoping to have the photos from the weekend up this week, stay tuned for more details.
Thanks again!
Lightning Storm | June 22, 2012
Looking like we may see some more small scale surf the next few days, keep your fingers crossed!
This past week I incidentally ran into a pretty wild lightning storm on my way home, I hadn’t taken any photos in a few days and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to try some long exposure stuff. After a few attempts at getting the clouds and the Hampton Beach lights in the frame, I decided to try shooting the lightning bolts. Lightning photography doesn’t require long exposure but instead a faster shutter to stop the lightning bolts as they strike. This was a particularly extensive undertaking as it turns out. I ended up trying to use the Reverse ND filter then putting it away, fussing with the ISO sensitivity then turning it back down to 100 (where it will forever stay)….and finally turning off the RAW photo processing, leaving me with FINE JPEG format photos. As any Lightroom user may know, it’s extremely painful getting photos your happy with when not in RAW format. All and all, I shot 1300 shutter clicks this particular evening, this isn’t the best practice regarding shutter lifetime but timing is everything with lightning and it’s almost impossible without continuous photo mode.

We have a few projects that are close to their final cut stage, keep an eye out for a Snap Infusion Energy Candy commercial and a video project for The White Mountains Attractions Association. Soon to be released! Please contact us for any photo/video inquiries : ryan@alpine-live.com
The Yakovleff Project | Teaser
Some fun little waves came through this weekend, looks like it’ll stick around through the morning today – hope everybody got their surf fix!
We’ve been busy lately working on a variety of video projects, in our free time we’ve been shooting with Sasha Yakovleff…a college buddy who works at Burke Mountain in the winter as a ski coach and runs the outdoor bike park at Rye Airfield in the summer. Sash is super easy to work with and it’s been a real pleasure getting out on his trails and seeing how much work he puts into these jumps. We’re stoked to release this little trailer for a short film that will be released mid-July, titled ‘The Yakovleff Project’. This film will feature Sasha riding on his personal trail systems as well as urban and bike park settings. Enjoy!
In coming weeks we’ll also be releasing some of our most recent corporate projects, stay tuned!
