Rob Finch emailed this video to me and says I look just the guy in the middle. I have to agree. I do kinda look like him.

Last week I spent a little quality time at a dairy....just me a reporter and a media relations person from the local creamery.
While I was waiting around for the interview to conclude, I set up lights on the cattle as they fed after before milking.
>thomasboyd.net is finally working
>After two weeks of hellish domain transfers, CNAME and FORWARDING problems, I finally got my blog to show up with my domain name thomasboyd.net.
I don't think is really working as it should but it will work for now until it get it figured out.
I think it's just forwarding and not using the cname as photoshelter suggests it should. If anyone out there has some insight on this, I'd appreciate it.
The bummer is that in the process, I went from a top five ranking in google to falling off the face of the earth. Luckily, my blog it still top three on a thomas boyd search.

I shot some of the stills and the time lapse for this video. I thought it worked out pretty cool.

I shot this to experiment with the new firmware update to the 5D Mark II that allows manual exposure control in the video mode. It worked great. This is a just quick edit so cut me some slack on the production value.
Tech info: Shot on a 5D Mark II with the latest firmware upgraded that allows manual exposure. I used 24-105/4, 5/1.4, 70-200/2.8, and a 300/2.8 lens.

I passed through Stevenson, Wash., on my way back from Boardman, Ore., and found this street concert by the Stevenson High School Marching Band.

This is the closest I've ever come to losing an eye. I was edging my lawn in the front yard and weed eater caught a rock or something and it flew through my glasses and embedded a piece of glass in my eye lid. Another half-inch or less toward my eyeball and glass would have seriously injured my eyeball. I'm sitting her now with a chunk of gauze taped over a quarter-inch slice. I'm trying to decide if I need stitches or not. I'd rather not have to deal with it, but it may be necessary. I'm just glad I had on my sun glasses. Next time I will wear proper safety glasses. My lawn looks great though.

This is a pano from three frames shot through a 600/4 IS with a 1.4x teleconverter on a 5D Mark II. The final stitched image was 151 mb. I didn't spend much time working on it to get rid of the flaws because it's not that interesting. But, I thought I'd at least post it here...mostly as experiment.
