I was confident it would do well, I’m pretty attached to the photo and I enjoyed taking it. When we scouted the location we were expecting another typical lab. The plant growing area turned out to be beautifully lit and full of possibilities. I knew what I wanted to do right away. One hurdle, though, was the space. It was only big enough for one person. Luckily I love these challenges. For this shot I jammed by camera in to the corner on a boom and tethered it to my laptop where I could fire it off remotely. I displayed what the camera was seeing using LiveView and stood right next to the researcher, Ching-Hong Yang, where I could give him directions and move him in the frame. I love it.</p> <p>As always, check out all of this month’s winners: <a href="http://www.upaa.org/mic-archived-galleries/october-2011"><a href="http://www.upaa.org/mic-archived-galleries/october-2011">http://www.upaa.org/mic-archived-galleries/october-2011</a></a></p>http://blog.peterjakubowskiphoto.com/post/13845278126http://blog.peterjakubowskiphoto.com/post/13845278126Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:28:00 -0600UPAAMICScience and ResearchUWMUW-MilwaukeePortrait<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/32863936?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://cheatsheet.tumblr.com/post/13588092460/the-most-amazing-skiing-video-youve-seen-in-a">cheatsheet</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The most amazing <a href="http://vimeo.com/32863936">skiing video</a> you’ve seen in a while.

His name is/was “Dude” and he was the best runt of a rooster ever. Whenever I’d come home he would run up to me and stand on my feet. He also loved to be held like a baby. Quite a relaxed bird. You can’t tell, but I was actually holding him up to the camera in this picture while he was laying in my left hand. I believe this was taken in 2004. I haven’t had a rooster since.</span></p>http://blog.peterjakubowskiphoto.com/post/10897393164http://blog.peterjakubowskiphoto.com/post/10897393164Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:19:39 -0500RoosterChickenBirdPortraitFarm AnimalDude<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls42u2haIm1qzt4d8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Zeke was gracious enough to sit for me and have his portrait taken.
