Restless Waves (Nikon D90 HD-movie)

As an example of the Nikon D90:s low light film capabilities, I shot this clip entirely during sunset and after (9.30pm to 10.30pm). The scene with the moon should be at ISO3200 and I was using the Nikkor 18-200 VR set to 200mm and aperture f/5.6, some noise there. I visited the same place two nights in a row for this movie, the location is Ersdalen, Hönö island, Sweden. There is sort of a cave right there where I could find shelter against the enormous waves and airborne ocean foam. The camera was at risk ;-) I used a Cokin P121 gradual ND for most of the footage and just the 18-200 VR, no primes. No video adjustments or affects has been added to the clips in post processing. The seagull shouting was recorded during the shoot using a Zoom Handy H2 stereo recorder.

@karen1991x Thanks Karen! That's too bad, you should really try to visit the ocean sometime, it's very relaxing. :)

Wow, I have uploaded a D90 test video too, but the difference is that yours is absolutely amazing :) I'm still satisfied with films from D90, because having bought a DSLR I got quite decent video camera for free.
