The Brian Shaler Blog

Adam Nollmeyer captured and posted an excellent photo from the Fourth of July! He also included setup information on the Flickr photo’s description.

While in LA during November for the Los Angeles Auto Show, Adam Nollmeyer and I risked life and limb to capture a new and exciting ShalerJump photo. We climbed onto the roof of our 15 story hotel! (Video coming soon eventually..)

I recently set up a page for people to easily view the entire “ShalerJump” collection:

There are at least 3 shots waiting to be added once they get uploaded by the photographers that took them, and there will be more to come in the near future.

Jump! Jump!

At the last Refocus Phoenix metting, Adam Nollmeyer took some great action shots using a 3-piece lighting setup — the most sophisticated ShalerJump shoot so far!

The results were some stunning captures with very distinct lighting. We staged the jump at a memorial on Washington Street where Adam could get below my jumping start level (to increase the perceived height of the jumps). In the background, there was a building with a giant ad on it for BringBackBlue.org, and I decided to jump over it!

Awesome photos by Acme PhotographyWhile I’m on the topic of videos, I have been making a video every day since July 1st on Viddler.com. So far, these “metodays” have not been anything too exciting. I am using them as an exercise to get more proficient with video production. Tune in and watch as the quality and content get better and more interesting!
