It’s been a while since my last post, and that’s due to life being crazy! Derek got married and I was in the wedding, and I quit my job at CYber SYtes because I got a better offer from AppRiver. Taking this job unfortunately meant for me that I had to move to Pensacola!
I’m all moved into my apartment here finally, and I’ve got some photos of my new place up now.

Eclectic 2.0 is an incredible time-lapse movie all shot with DSLR cameras. Ross Ching went to some amazingly beautiful locations and set up his camera with a special slow moving tripod and the camera set to take photos at a certain interval. Watch and be amazed. Read more about this project on Ross Ching’s site.

After watching this, I’ve gotten really interested in making these types of movies. Unfortunatly for me, my camera doesn’t support taking photos at an interval without a special intervalometer I’d have to purchase.

Well I haven’t posted on here in a while because I’ve really been working hard to get my personal portfolio online. I started sometime last week, and it’s really been a much larger project than I first thought! The hardest part was finding old projects, and deciding how the portfolio itself should work. Now that I’ve selected all my work and completed it, take a look! Just click on the new tabs up top.
What’s that, you need a link right here? Ok, fine. http://chris-barr.com/portfolio/

In case you didn’t know, there was a total lunar eclipse last night, and we won’t be able to see another one until 2010.
I stayed outside for several hours last night to capture every stage of the eclipse, and I got about 150 pictures of it, but I had to narrow it down to just a few for the image below. Feel free to click and download this thing at any size you want. The largest size fits Apple’s 30 inch display, so hopefully it will fit yours.
I learned a lot about astral/moon photography doing this also. A small 2 second exposure actually gives the moon enough time to move and blur the photo slightly. Two seconds!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to take some photos of a golf tournament help by my church. I got to ride around with my friend Kristen in a gold cart and just take pictures of each team. I had my Nikon D80, and she had her D40x, and we both got some really great shots. Here’s a few of the highlights, click each photo to view it larger on Flickr.

I think these things are going to have to be my next photography project. I love taking long exposure photos, and this would really help give them more color and originality.
They look very simple to make, it’s just a matter of sitting down and doing it some time.

Yesterday Derek and I went over to Studio 812, which is the recording studio primarily used by Paradigm Music Group to take some photos of the studio. If you clicked on that link, then you know they need a new website, and luckily that’s the reason we were taking photos. So I’ve got a few photos from the shoot.
