Valley of Fire 2008 Video

Late last night, I produced a short highlight film of our ride through the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada just outside of Las Vegas. I thought everyone on the ride would like to check it out. I am happy to send out DVD's to everyone on the ride, just get in touch with me and I'll get an HD copy out to you. What a great day to get some fresh air and just enjoy. We've done several rides over the past few years when we go out to WPPI each year including this, Red Rocks, and Death Valley as well. It's always a great time. Special thanks to my good friend Ken Sklute for organizing the ride. I know it takes a lot of effort to get everyone on board. For those photographers who haven't done this before, I can't suggest it enough. The video should say it all about how much fun we have. The music is from Triple Scoop Music I should mention. They have an extensive library of music for video production. Captured on the Canon XHA1 HDV camera, produced in Final Cut Pro, and Color Graded for effect in Apple's new program Color which is part of Final Cut Studio 2. Enjoy!
