Ummmm, so today is Saturday . . . not one of my Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday-only posting days. Erick and Leslie were right . . . that restriction didn't last long . . . but HEY I did a video. Crappy video, it's true . . . but still . . .
Here's the background. My friend Jon Agbayani is an amaaaaazing singer/songwriter. He wants to do a music video. Me, me, me . . . I like try . . . I like try. Small-kine problem . . . I dunno how to do videos. So, for the last two days at lunchtime I went out to shoot.
Oh my Gawwwwd, it's so hard . . . the focusing, the exposure, the white balance. I think Jon's gonna say, "Thanks but NO THANKS!!"
Warning before you view:
1) Take your Dramamine if you get motion sickness (I'm sooo nauseous right now).
2) I didn't know how to add music so you get to listen to the wind and the traffic. At least you cannot hear me cussing.
3) I couldn't do Photoshop on the images, so now you'll see what a crappy photographer I really am.
4) There might be more to come as I continue to practice.

Is this w/ your 5D MkII HD video? Aside from the swaying movements, the video is really sharp. What lens did you use? can you zoom with it too? a cool walk about...
Yes, Shun Wah it is!! On the first day I had on my 35mm f1.4. On the second day (from about the sake glasses) I used my 100mm macro). I think I could use my zooms too. The focusing is REALLY hard. You can autofocus before you start shooting, but once you start shooting it doesn't automatically focus anymore, so as you pan if your depth changes you gotta manually focus. It's pretty impossible. Maybe I gotta keep my f stop at 22 or something like that.
f22?????? how da?? I goin buy you a video camera instead. More easy. Just press the button and walk. :)
Les, no kidding . . .
I feel like barfing. Ha, ha, looks good to me. Sharp, color is good. I think you should go for it, do the music video. It will be great!
Okay Erick, come help me . . . Thursday at the fair.
