01 | UNDER THE GW BRIDGE WITH PLATYPOD OWNER / INVENTOR DR. LARRY T.
“It was a hot and steamy Fourth of July this year in New Jersey. Mina and I were determined to make the best of it. George Washington himself was certainly not available for a patriotic visit, but we found the next best thing, his bridge. Somehow, whenever we try to make an outing to New Jersey Palisades, we’re always met with storm clouds (see my 2021 post). In the past we always seemed to end up on the upper part of the cliffs but this time we wanted to get down to the Hudson River so we found a place to enter the park in Fort Lee, down some beautiful country roads ending up right at sea level.”

02 | MOVIE-REALISTIC TOY PHOTOGRAPHY WITH JESSE FEYEREISEN
"I'm pulling out another unpublished shot from a few months ago. LEGO Luke Skywalker cutting down Darktroopers to save the day! As a bit of an experiment in lighting, for this shot I tried to combine off camera flash and constant LED lighting. I used two AD200 speedlights in softboxes to light up the scene and then I added a small LumeCube LED light with a green gel to add some environmental lighting from the lightsaber. Added a few bounce cards as well to add and block light in specific areas. I then setup my camera on my Platypod eXtreme, Platyball Elite and fired off some shots."

03 | HOW PLATYPOD HELPED ME MINIMIZE MY GEAR WHILE TRAVELING WITH JEFF WISWELL
“Recently, my wife and our three kids (all under five years old) took an overnight flight to Lisbon, Portugal. We had a great time in Portugal, although getting there we had a few hiccups. Traveling from La Crosse to Amsterdam via Minneapolis with only one flight left, the airline gave away my seat to someone else — just my seat, of course. Prior to this seat-being-given-away episode, we had been awake for 22 hours and just raced across Schiphol Airport because of a short layover. When I say race, I mean fast walking with two or three of the kids in a stroller and 42 lbs of camera gear in my backpack.”
