Hello everybody!

I have been learning how to make video for The Daily Times website.  This video that i just finished is of a beginning rock climbing class being taught by John Nowell, of Knox Rocks Climbing Services on the cliffs of Eagle Rock Camp on the Foothills Parkway in Blount County, Tennessee.

This assignment was a challenge, I was going back and fourth shooting video and taking still photographs while hanging off the side of a rock face.  I have been a rock climber for 14 years, so I was already use to the height, I  needed to practice more on climbing and shooting video and taking photographs at the same time, lucky i did not drop anything or myself.  It was definitely a learning experience and hopefully i will be able to do more of it.

I love rock climbing!


Here is the link to the story on The Daily Times website.

Hello everyone!  This is my first blog for the Blount County Voice.  I decided to keep it simple and display one of my favorite photographs that i took on August 18, 2007 and  was published in The Daily Times on August 19, 2007.
The photograph was shot at 400 ISO, the shutter speed at 500 and the aperture at f/16.
