This was tough to shoot b/c of the orientation of the lamp versus the orientation of the camera; see portrait vs. landscape. I guess I could have turned the camera on its side or even rotated the video in post but oh well! Next time I’ll make the adjustment. I made another video already but it’s similar to this one. ..

By tough to shoot I mean I couldn’t get the camera in a position to avoid the hot spots near the bulb. Ultimately I’d like to get the camera a lot lower in the frame so that the bright sections are not as dominant.

I did like the way the light danced and bounced around on the white poster board backdrop. It was the fresh and the funky ;)

While I know there are a million lava lamp videos on YT, I hope mine is at least more interesting than the one I saw the other day…it was just a regular video in some guys room…music was lame :O

My daughter and I enjoying a bowl of ice cream at the mall. It’s a healthy 1 scoop of cookies and cream and I guess @ $2.50 or whatever it was it should be a big scoop!!

Whenever we go to the mall she wants the Chic-fil-a and then the IC afterwards! I can’t say as I blame her as I am usually clamoring for the same thing(s). This time around instead of the chicken club sandwich I tried one of their spicy chicken wraps…quite tasty! I highly recommend one if you’d never had one!

Her next favorite part of the mall is the play scape that they have…I got some video of that as well :) Stay tuned for that in weeks to come!

Say hello to our other pet fish(es), plastic though they may be! I bought this years ago as part of a themed date night with the Mrs., She got a kick out of it for sure.

The light is the natural light of the tank, I did not add any additional light. The bubble control is a knob on the side, you can go little or a lot. Twice during the video I adjusted the flow but you cannot see my hand either time.

I think if I shoot it again I will change the flow more often to really give to variances.
