My Backyard
There was so much for me to learn in making this 1 1/2-minute video. And there's still a lot more I need to learn.
Shooting was a challenge because DSLR cameras like my Canon 5D only have one plane of focus. Anything in front or in back of that plane is blurry. BUT anything in that plane is crisp. I learned that your shutter speed needs to remain constant: 1/50 if shooting at 24 frames/second and 1/60 if shooting at 30 frames/second. Exposure is adjusted by f-stop and ISO settings.
Editing too was hard for me. I kept messing up and had to start all over several times. But like Pink sings, "You gotta get up and try, try, try-y-y. Uuuu . . . . u . . . uuuuu." But I digress . . .
Here it is . . . a minute and a half of My Backyard.

oooooo lilikoi and MANGOES !!
LOL!
Wow!....but oooohh mango! Haha
I gonna try fix our mango picker today den, Mich. The ripe mangoes only fall to the ground and I give to the neighbor or throw away the bust-up ones . . . mostly I been throwing um away.
J: I've honestly never seen a vid of a backyard so yours so far is da best. I remember when our dog club vid a dog show we had and we had someone's husband shoot it on a windy day. Can we say the entire vid was like being in a wind tunnel. It was shut off after 10 min. cuz no one could think beyond the wind. It's not that easy! Luv you sharing your experiences w/ us -N
Hahahaha. Thanks, N!
Kona was smiling for you. Sweet.
Kona is so cute with that big smile.
Winnie

He is so sweet, Celia!
Thanks, Winnie!!
I just wen pick some, Kat. Wish I fixed my picker a few weeks ago.
No can, Didi. The ones that fall are all bust up . . . soft and cracked. I threw away LOTS.
darn darn darn .... Times had mangoes for $2.99/lb...I actually was looking at them ;o{
That's how I feel, Didi. I didn't know you guys liked mango that much.
That was great editing for your first try!
Try shoot with your iPhone too. Has auto stabilizer.
Reminds me of when I took classes at Olelo and we had to do a 3 minute video from filming to producing to editing and the winner got some kind of prize. I forced my kids to be part of it and they acted out knock knock jokes. Lame kind.
We nevah win, but it was good fun trying!
It's so cool that you did that with your kids, Aunty!
Good job! The smile on Kona is priceless! I like the tranquil music, very nice.
Ha ha ha ha ha, I'm laughing too after reading the comment from Anonymous.
