Nicolesy’s Last Photowalking Utah Hurrah

David Daniels and Nicole Young take the group shot for the photowalk.

Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of joining the Photowalking Utah group to partake in the last Photowalking Utah event that Nicole Young would be leading before she moves to the wonderful rainy city of Seattle. We started off walking the same area where Nicole had led her first Salt Lake City (WorldWide Photowalk) photowalk, as a tribute to her all too short yet wonderful time in Salt Lake City. I wish Nicole well in her endeavours in Seattle, though I’m certain the Salt Lake City photography community will miss her great leadership, experience, and fun personality on events such as these. I also hope Nicole will come visit every now and again – and maybe even come back after she realizes what awesomeness she’s missing.

Here are a few shots from the photowalk. I also shot a pretty good amount of video, so expect to see another update on this photowalk soon.

I love my wide-aperture lenses. This was with my Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8.

Big Cottonwood Canyon Drive

In a similar style to my last timelapse video, I rebuilt my driving rig and headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy a lovely afternoon in nature. I always enjoy driving the canyon, especially when I’m headed up to photograph some of the beautiful scenery at the top of the canyon near Silver Lake. The resulting video of the timelapse was shot both on the way up and the way down Big Cottonwood, firing one frame every 3 seconds in aperture priority as to deal with changing lighting going up and down the canyon.

Duh.

Thanks for letting me know. Such a great use of taxpayer money.

I can’t say I even know a reason why this would be put up, aside from the slight chance of a liability for injury. It doesn’t even have braille!

A view of downtown Salt Lake City from Ensign Peak in June of 2009 on my old, trusty Nikon D50. Dug up from my archives while looking for another photo.

I set up my tripod with my D200 mounted between my front seats, locking the shutter for 5 second intervals shooting at f/13 and ISO 400. I drove around Salt Lake City, capturing the lights of cars, streetlights, and signs around the city. I plan on doing this again with some sort of fisheye lens to capture a wider angle at some point. I think I’ll probably need to build a more stable mount for the camera as well, seeing how the tripod made slight movements in the resulting video pretty obvious.

Update: Jeff McGrath has provided me with a great shot of the rig I was using for this setup.
