  • for sure you're a photographer...."oh really nice light there" as your strike up the lighter. I love the lighting on you camcorder. I shot mine with my canon G9, real bad in low light situations.

  • @dubinthedam The Canon still photography camera I use for these videos takes 35mm photo lenses I have, and they work amazingly well in low light. They also allow for a very nice skin tone.

  • @vasypher Thought it might be a DSLR, which one? I'm very impressed with the light and video quality for a SLR.....it that because of the lens quality also?

    I'm on the look-out for a good camcorder that won't break the bank, under the $500 mark. Any tips?

  • @dubinthedam I use the Canon 5DMKII. Definitely has allot to do with the lenses and sensor size of the camera.

    Unfortunately I haven't researched too many cameras under $500. You may be able to find a still camera with interchangeable lenses that shoots video. That's the kind of look I like. You may want to confirm whether you get auto focus features or not. I don't have it on mine, but I wouldn't use it anyway.

    Hope this helps,

  • @vasypher Canon 5DMKII, very nice pro-level camera as I expected but you remind me it's all about the lens and the sensor on these DSLR's. I'm a fan of shoot and go's but I'm gonna have to give in eventually to a DSLR, maybe I could push my budget to a D50 if I don't buy any pipes this year! But you've given me a good steer I don't really need a camcorder, I do need a good DSLR.

  • Ha ha ha... I saw that lighter in ebay, I just wondered ha ha ha... and man, this vid is as real as it gets! Thanks!

    Cheers,

  • Great video man! Kitten Powder gets us all at one time or another.... lol

    Like the pipe! Glad you liked the Holiday Porter. All the beer in the sampler pack are good.... The chocolate bock is definitely a dessert beer. Way to chocolate tasting for me... lol

    -Matthew

  • @bahumutx Ya I might have to get a face mask or something for it...it's gettin' real bad!!! Actually the Chocolate Bock was one of my favs, but so far the Fezziwig Ale is the best imho. I've yet to try them all...but I'll definitely be gettin' to that REAL soon...hehe.

  • I love days like that for B&W photography! Man, that is one nice looking Stanwell. I just picked up a couple myself for the first time. A churchwarden and  a Nanna Ivarrson design.

    Hope they're good smokers. Where'd you pick that lighter up?Thats really cool if its reliable. Nice vid man, love that ambient lighting.

    Cheers,

    James

  • @astroman2112 Ya man, nothin' like diffused light, and the rain really seems to increase the saturation in the environment all around also. All my Stanwell pipes have been great smokers so far, I'm always on the lookout for more, I think you're gonna love 'em. I found the lighter at a local tobacconist. Doesn't really have a brand, and it looks very cheaply made, but so far it's lighting on every try with or without wind, which is nice.

  • Sweet pipe man that thing exudes class ! I love how that cam gathers the ambient light there picture is superb (when in focus) :-) Enjoy that rain it always smells wonderful after a rain in Cali. Cool little lighter too man.

    Salam

  • @OneManSmoke Thanks man!! I really dig that pipe, and the camera is always fun to shoot with. Looks like the rain is here to stay whether I like it or not...hehe. Kinda cool to be holed up for a bit and warm.

  • What external monitor are you using for your camera?

  • @pigeonfarmboy It's made by a company called "Small HD", I believe the model is DP6. Hope that helps.

  • Homemade stew was made for dreary days like that. Looks like a veritable monsoon out there! Was that a Prius I saw? How does it feel to be better than everyone else? Lol…just kidding!

  • @thesmokingdeck Ya man, that stew hit the spot!!! AAAANNND we'll have plenty more for about 3 days...lol. Feels pretty good...until I have to go over a speed bump...hehe.

  • @ToBaCCoRoW I'll be smoking the cigar some time after Thursday which is when the sun will be back out...hehe. And yes, Kitten Powder is something to watch out for.

  • you really DO have a prius LOL

  • @vasypher what incredible performance? OHHHH the new Stanwell!!!! Man I love Stanwells, gotta get me some more of them. Great smokers! have you ever tried benedryl for your kitten powder allergies? yeah, you crush up a benedryl, mix it with club soda to make a paste, then you gently massage it into the cats skin like lotion.

  • @thepypehype LOL....That is one creepy picture you just put in my mind!!!

  • That's a hot Stanwell. And that lighter was trippy.

    What's kitten powder?

    -Jay

  • @dighsx Thanks Jay. I love that Stanwell!!! And that lighter is going to bring me many years of joy as well....LOL.

  • @GothamCitySmoker Definitely agree. Stanwells are one of the best buys around!!!

  • Haha keep drinking that stuff and you wont have to worry about focus hehe Wish I had some I'm on my second pot of coffee and I think my teeth are going to turn black. Let us know what you think of the cigar. Love the crack lighter but I guess everyone in CA has to have one. I'm glad you started posting vids or never would have met you and that goes for the rest of the guys and gals as well. Stay dry man.

  • @darfirst We're all glad to have ya Mark....keep away from the coffee it'll rot your insides...lol. I'll make an update once I smoke that Peterson.

  • Oh man, allergies are a p.i.t.a.! You need to stay away from that stuff. ;)

    Nifty pipe light-er!

  • That's my kind of weather. I don't know why, but I had to laugh out loud when you sneezed. I also love the lighting that you get in your videos. I need some pointers on that topic. Thanks for another fun video.

  • @PipePedaler That weather is amazing, as long you don't have to go out in it..hehe. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions on lighting. Everything in this video is just straight light from that window, diffused by the clouds, which is why it looks so nice. Thanks for stopping by!!

    - Alex

  • Yeah, Peterson has been making cigars for quite a while. Love the Holiday Porter man....that is great stuff! Love that lighter!

  • @Fenianboyo Huh, I've never seen one before and I frequent my tobacconists often...hehe. Hope it's as good as the beer I was drinking....Thanks for your post.
