Well done. Looks like a very beautiful and natural place. My dog really liked (meaning barked at) the bird or child in the background at the beginning. The soundtrack was nice as well. You've got good skill with that camera. =)
Yes .... Some "genius" industrial psychologists concluded some time back that "jungle sounds" in the work place, or the waiting room at the dentist, were better than elevator-music of the hum of air-conditioners. Of course, at the dentist, they also mask the screams of patients in the chair from the people waiting for THEIR turn.
Definitely post it, make several smaller video files if necessary but this one flowed so well that I hope you can get it all posted as one. Very nice work all around. I can well identify with the digital revolution - I was a photographer for 24 years with a full color darkroom for 35mm, medium format and 4X5 but it's been packed away since I moved to the country. Now it's all been rendered pretty much useless since I discovered digital. Do I miss film? Yeah, like poison ivy and the cramps!
Your photos are exceptional, I am very impressed with your skill with a camera and your eye for a great picture. (The squirrel at 3:52 was intriguing, took a little studying to actually see it) I am looking forward to the final cut of this, it was very peaceful and pleasant to watch. Thank you for posting. Free time has been at a premium for me lately, I haven't seen your previous video but I will.
The predecessor slide show was almost the same photos (I added about a dozen more to this show) but didn't come out as well as a YT upload. I used a different program to put that show together, and it ended up a HUGE video file that took forever to upload.
The final cut ought to have about 40 more photos ....
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm trying to find the best way to put this show together without losing the great resolution of the originals (generally, in 1024x768 pixel size). Corel's MediaOne seems to put together a good show easily. But uploading to YT crunches the resolution to the extent you miss the most stunning detail.
I figure the final cut of about 100 photos will be about 80MB in size. So I may just upload that file somewhere with a pointer in the description.
Some good stuff you got there. Makes me wish I had the time and money to get back into photography. I had a 35mm SLR camera with a whole bunch of accessories. I sold all my equipment a few years back because I needed cash more than I needed a hobby.
Thank you. I have the same 35mm gear you speak of which I haven't used in years. (It's on my eBay-to-do list) :-)
It's amazing what you can do today with digital stills, compared to the old emulsion-film days. And once you've got something in zeros-and-ones, it will last forever without fading or spotting or succombing to life's random disasters.
I "cashed-in" a BUNCH of UAL frequent-flyer miles to get the camera I used for these for FREE, essentially.
If I hadn't sold it, I could just replace the body and use all the same equipment. It was a Canon Rebel series camera. The digital Rebel is compatible with the lenses and the flash and everything else. Meh, I'll get back into it once I make a few notches on my loans and credit cards. ;-) It'll be a while though. hehe.
THAT'S what I used for these .... Canon Rebel XTi (10+ megapixel). They used to say 7 megapixels was the 35mm emulsion-film equivalent, I dunno'
But the lenses are THE most important thing. Just like computers, garbage-in --> garbage-out
My "kit" came with a 18-55mm EF-S series lens, and I sold a couple of guitars to buy a 100-400mm IS L-series telephoto/zoom .... WOW! That's the right tool for this job. With all that resolution, all I have to do is get my butt out to the boondocks :-)
Yeah, the lens is definitely the most important. You get what you pay for too. There's a huge difference between a $300 lens and a $2500 lens. I only had the cheap lens with mine and it had the focus ring on the end. That gets really annoying when you use filters that need to stay in place. Every time I would set the focus, the filter would rotate along with the focus ring. I was using graduated ND filters for landscape pictures so that the sky wouldn't be overexposed.
