Ultralight Nerd

Who's ready to get WILD?? Happy #MHWilds launch day everyone!! 💪✨💖 This is the only game series I'm obsessed with enough to crank out TWO cosplays before the game even launched 💀 Here's my Gemma and Chatacabra armor!

Newest nerdy deep dive has been converting camcorders to tapeless 16:9 digital capture. This is a proof of concept with a 1080 upscaler. Next is direct external firmware capture for portable filming. LoFi cameras with high production value babbeeyyyy

Up at 5:30am snapping shots in the alpine lakes wildness. Excited for this next season :)

VHS “Now Playing” holders that I designed and printed.

Sunrise atop the tallest dune. Not another soul for at least 20 miles.

The view from outside of my tent. Night 1 of a 5 day trip.

Excellent guess, but those are not they :)

Mt Adams. Shot 20 miles away from Goat Rock Wilderness with a 525mm equivalent lens FOV.

Once did a photoshoot of my cat in his baby bed at an old house I lived at.

There’s a reason why the Alpine Lake Wilderness is my most backpacked wilderness area

Waking up at 5am in my tent in the Death Valley wildness and waiting for the first rays of light.

My second most backpacked alpine lakes route.

Hiking with my brother is a joy. He’ll spot things off trail that always deserve a look. Tree growing out of a rock; brother for scale.

I uploaded a vertical 4k video that was over 50mb and the compression was disheartening. I’ll put some time into figuring out a template I can run videos through and share the settings after some testing :)

Long exposure in Olympic national park.

Devils Churn, Oregon.
Waves so powerful they shake the ground you walk on.

Mentally I’m a raccoon splayed out in a tree (high on cherries that I just ate) trying to take a nap while crows are screaming at me to get out of their tree.
