And… just in case you didn’t see yourself in the last video…
Just over 900 images comprise this time-lapse video of the transition area at this year’s Woolsports mini-Mussel sprint triathlon at Seneca Lake State Park. The camera was set to photograph every 20 seconds, continuously, for 5 hours. (Starting well before your 750 meter swim – 16.1 mile bike – 3.2 mile run) Did I catch you in transition?

We have been busy busy busy this weekend covering high school graduations! Skaneateles High School is one of my favorites. Each year the students run for the lake as soon as the ceremony is finished and jump, flip, cannonball into the cool water for tradition’s sake. I went for a different angle this year, wading out into the shoulder deep water. (I don’t ever remember it being this deep!) Here’s a VIDEO of the actual jump if you’re interested.

I have to admit I’m a bit of a breaking news junkie… I’m often asked what sort of things I cover for the newspaper, and breaking news – accidents, fire, severe weather – is certainly on the list, along with high school, college and minor league sports; portraits; politics; and general event coverage. We’ve had quite the wet spring this year, which means plenty of rain and flooding shots. But tonight was something a little different. The sky let loose just as we were headed home from dinner with some friends, and then LIT UP with such a spectacular display of lightning I was glued to the window with my camera all the way home. The truth is, I’ve often thought it would be cool to be a storm chaser, and tonight I got a tiny little taste of it!

Tried something a little different at the SU/Villanova game this weekend. Four hours of shooting (about 600 photos) condensed into one minute of stop motion video. Let me know what you think! At last year’s Villanova game I used a slightly different technique to make a time-lapse from start to finish, capturing the record breaking attendance of 34,616. You can still view that here on Syracuse.com.

Our friend Tony, the organizer behind our crazy 24 hour Adirondack hike, also happens to be crazy about motocross. Alvah and I tagged along this weekend on a damp but otherwise beautiful Saturday morning in Cohocton, NY to take some photos. Here’s a fun little multimedia piece I put together of Tony in action!

A few months ago, I started hearing some chatter about a “High Peaks Challenge” in the Adirondack Region of Northern New York State. Something about a 24-hour hike up a handful of the highest peaks… looking for a select few who were willing to push themselves to the edge, and maybe over a little. The group would begin in daylight hours, push through the night by headlamp, and count on a majestic sunrise for an energized finish.
Those causing the chatter (my husband and a few crazy friends) had tackled a similar feat last year, mastering 5 peaks in just under 18 hours. “Count me in!” I thought. I’m an athlete for goodness sake, how tough could it be. I was mostly concerned about the 15,000+ calories we were expected to burn (I really don’t like an empty stomach) and protecting myself against the mosquitoes and black flies we were bound to encounter. I sort of forgot about my fear of heights – never mind extreme altitudes, sheer cliffs and scrambling along near vertical rock ledges. Oops.
Day pack, check. Hydration packs, water purification, check. Gaiters, dry socks, rain gear, electrolytes, food and fuel, check. Don’t Bite Me patch – big check. (Worked like a charm!) 5 hour energy, just in case, check. Point and shoot camera, batteries, extra memory card, check.
I’ve never hiked the Adirondack Mountains before. It’s a long way up! Rocky stream beds and long stretches of bare rock to climb. Then it’s a long way back down again. But what a view from above. Night hiking was strange, a little scary at times, but really cool. We didn’t really see anyone else all night long, nor did we hear any signs of life in fact. It was silent aside from our own breathing and boots brushing against the rock and sticking in the gushy bogs.
In the end, it was an incredible adventure that included 4 of the highest peaks. Mud covered, quads tight and spirits high, we climbed the final 5,344 feet to the top of the highest, Mount Marcy, at 1pm Saturday for a grand total of 8 peaks in 24 hours. Make that 29 continuous hours of hiking in and out of the park, 22.5 miles and 11,800 ft of gain and loss when all was said and done.
I never imagined a bed at a Comfort Inn could feel so good.
