I moved to use WordPress as the platform for a landing page crafted specifically for this community. I used standard SEO formulas, title, good length article relevant to the community, original text (many competitors borrow phrases from each other and it shows in searches) and, of course, an appropriate ratio of keywords.

Next, I created some back-links to the page. I’m not sure how much that counts yet- Yahoo site explorer doesn’t even know the page exists yet. Obviously, Google does. The landing page is in position #10 of page one. Precarious, but not bad for three days from its creation.

A test of Flickr’s movie hosting. Flickr gives pro members unlimited storage. It’s hard to believe they allow video at all.

I stood by the feeder a little while and got this closeup. Too bad it chose the opposite end. I waited for more until my arms got tired of holding the camera. Tripod next time.

This is a prep video for a home tour. I have some corrections and more titles/banners to add. I shot it with the Canon T2i and a Tamron 28-105 2.8 lens. You need fairly fast glass to deal with indoor lighting of homes during the day when the windows are so bright. You won’t get too far with point and shoot video because the windows will set the average lighting so high that the indoors will look like a cave. With the SLR format, you can push the exposure and still get some of the outdoor detail or just set it manually for indoor lighting and let the windows look like a nuclear flash is going off outside. I try to shoot my indoor work early or late so the outdoor light isn’t quite as harsh. You don’t always have that luxury with real estate photography or video.

Downtown Fullerton embodies amazingly comfortable contradiction that blends the old and new all at once in a unique convergence of college life and history. One of the main train stops during the area’s oil industry days, Fullerton has retained many of its old landmarks from the train station to the police station, not to mention Fullerton College where students arrived in canoes in the hundred year flood of 1938, when most of Orange County found itself flooded. Fullerton shops restaurants and entertainment share a long tradition of blending new and old. The day I took this video, we ate at Rutabegorz, established 40 years ago and still serving up 70s fare in a 90s environment- solar powered. Plummer Auditorium finished up the night in an excellent dress rehearsal of Brigadoon. Shot with the new Canon 550D T2i, which I’m still learning. The creative modes are every bit as varied as you expect from an SLR camera.
