Blog break to learn video editing
I’ll be posting less frequently in the next couple of weeks because I’m trying to learn Sony Vegas, a video editing program for PC. Last weekend I took a tour with some friends to Diablo Lake.
Yes, it really was that green. The color is caused by the glacial flour of Skagit gneiss, made up of mica, feldspar (the reddish color on the rock faces) and quartz. The day was amazing. Even though it was 100+ degrees out the 36-degree water kept the trip relatively cool.
I took some video with my new camera and some stills (see eight pics I took on my Flickr photostream). Until I know how Vegas works, though, I’m not going to be doing much else other than learning how to edit. I didn’t have my tripod during the trip so it’s a little shaky, but I’ll try to post something from the trip in a week or two.
