Albuquerque Civic Plaza Water Feature Drone Video Aqua Design

Cinematic and Whimsical Albuquerque Drone Video

Have you ever sat and stared in bemused amazement at the water feature in Civic Plaza in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico? It was designed by Aqua Design International. They contacted me about making a creative drone video of the water feature really showing off the range of fountains and colors they display at dusk. This was my first time to fly my DJI Mavic Pro drone in such low light. After a brief test flight I was very glad to find out it could record video in these conditions and that the final, edited 4K drone video made Aqua Design so happy. The music I selected I think really compliments the visuals. Press play, and take a 3 minute whimsical break!

DJI Osmo Mobile 2 smart phone gimbal Rio Grande test

May 31, 2018 in Reviews

I have been flying my DJI Mavic Pro drone all over New Mexico making dozens of 4K videos. But what to do about places the drone cannot fly? Or if I wanted to actually record the sound of the place I am recording video of? The iPhone 8 records good 4K video, but if you just handhold it the video is all choppy. In my search for a smooth solution, I discovered the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 smart phone gimbal. However, it was sold out everywhere. Finally it was back in stock and mine arrived just last week!

Jason Collin radio interview on Picture This WTAN Clearwater Florida

May 23, 2013 in Photo Story

On Sunday May 19, 2013 I was a guest on the Picture This radio show on WTAN. It is a weekly radio show discussing photography hosted by Jeff Donald. I met Jeff soon after I moved back to the U.S. in early 2009 by joining one of his many photography meetups. Though I do not attend many photography meetups anymore due to shooting professionally full time, we have stayed in touch and he asked me if I would like to go on the air and talk about my photography history and career. I really enjoyed it! Thanks Jeff for inviting me.
