Chase Jarvis makes some pretty nice pictures, which it cool. He is not all super secret about how they are done which is even cooler.

That's cool, and has given me some ideas for this year on the snow

I'm thinking a homemade chest harness, and an E-bay remote shutter release. The possibilities are endless.

Oh, here is another cool Chase Jarvis video, posted on the Strobist website. It's fairly long, but has some interesting info for someone getting into the biz.

Exactly. I've already got a remote with an interval timer and an ultra wide zoom.

All I need is the harness. This could be fun.

Even better with an interval timer. That opens up a whole world of time-laps photos. I've wanted to build a plexiglass box, and photograph an awesome storm roll through. Is the camera awake inbetween intervals, or does it go to sleep if the interval is long?

Yeah, it does. If I ever stop working myself to death, there are several projects I have in mind like that.

I don't know. But I don't think it matters, at least not for my camera. I have a Fujufilm s5 pro(essentially a Nikon D200 with Fuji sensor). I have left it on for weeks at a time and the battery has still shown a full charge. Same for the D200 I owned before the Fuji. If it isn't metering I don't think it uses any juice.

The same could not be said for the Canon 10D I owned before the Nikon. Before I set up the auto shutoff it would kill a battery in a 24 hour period if I forgot to turn it off. Don't ask me why.

For anyone wondering, this is a great video, and is more than worth the 55 minutes it took to watch it. Very cool and enthusiastic guy - with an interesting take on the photog industry. There is hope for me after all!
