Tahina Spinnaker Sailing - Wide-angle HD Video

http://TahinaExpedition.com - This video shows Tahina - a 50 foot St. Francis catamaran - sailing up the coast of North Carolina by spinnaker sail. The video was made with a new Canon Rebel T1i digital SLR with a wide-angle Sigma 10mm lens. With a normal lens/camera you can't capture the entire sail even from the back of the boat. This was also my first test of making an HD video with the SLR. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the video. I have the same lens, and am about to buy the t1i, so it was great to see a sample. Did you shoot this at 1080p or 720p?

[TahinaExpedition]

Glad you like it. I shot this one with 720.

Very nice video.You have a very steady hand with the camera- Looking forward to more!

And thanks for the KMZ on your Tahina Blog site - It really helps visualize your trip.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you like the KMZ. There are several other trips documented in the blog archives. I plan to add a map tool to help people see all the tracks of Tahina and when we go ashore as well.
