Fellow Alaska Creative Professionals: Capture the Moment

Some years back I was decorating with a girl friend. This woman had stunning eyes that popped with sparkle and surrounded by Christmas decor—she was stunning. It dawned on me…her eyes were like Christmas ornaments. Suddenly I saw before me a living Christmas tree.

As a marketing professional reading this post you understand what I mean: creative moments just happen. You see something new. You think of the perfect campaign…the ultimate story line. The important thing is to not let these moments get away.You must capture them.

Picture Alaska: Canon EOS-1 D Mark IV

In June a new tool was added to my creative arsenal: Canon’s EOS-1D Mark IV. I’ve already begun using it both in photographic and video projects, and I’m thrilled with the camera.

This baby has a redesigned 45-point AF system including 39 cross-type points, can shoot 10fps in burst, and handles extremely low light conditions with ease. (ISO range of 100 – 12800). For video projects I can now use Canon’s famous L lenses and shoot in 1080, or 60fps 720p. Wahoo!
