Rambling (Camera Setup, Velcro, MSF, Rain, Riding)

So my first video blog. Kind of a test video to see what's working and what needs work. As you can already see, with the camera centered to the helmet, the actual lense on the camera is offset to the right so you see more towards the right than I do.

Camera: FujiFilm FinePix Z10fd

Also, I've captioned the entire video because at some points (when I decide to show some tone in my voice) my voice get's muffled under the noise of the Slip On. So I now know to speak louder next time.

As the ride progressed, it seems the camera started to move around... You'll notice this once I hit the freeway as the camera is literally looking to the right and down to the ground (But in reality, I'm looking straight =P ). There's a section near the end where I fix this and you will be able to tell because my voice get's noticeably louder and the camera's vision is fixed.

I noticed I said I was in Daly City, but I think it was Colma but I often consider them both just Daly City. I'm lazy like that.

During the last left turn, if you notice the van on the left (though he gets out of my camera's lense just as he does this), his back left tire runs over the curb... You can hear the noise if you pay attention.

I also noticed my chopped of grammar and sentences.. Hah, I'm not the best in English, or at least proper English so some sentences are somewhat slanged or not perfect. And as for the long pauses in between words, being my first blog, I wanted to have as little editing as possible and so I guess I was watching what I was saying.

Still a lot to learn, so hopefully more to come. Inspired by Mordeth13 and sfninja.
