A quick test of the Canon 550D video mode. Cut and Graded in After Effects, footage stabilised in Virtual Dub with DeShaker plugin. I’m amazed by the video performance of the camera it’s definitely up there with the 5D/7D for video and the price makes it even more of a steal. I’ve tried it on a Hague Mini Motion-Cam Stabilizer which can just take the weight of the 550D and a light lens (I got reasonable results with the kit lens and the 50mm 1.8) but definitely didn’t feel as stable as the diddy GF1 on there.
Got my hands on a little Panasonic Lumix GF1 with the 20mm f1.7 prime lens and I’m loving this camera. I can carry it about everywhere and it has near the start up and auto focus response of a DSLR and the ISO performance is beyond what I expected. Read the rest of this entry »
Testing out the Rode Mono Videomic on the 5D in a few location around London. Overall I’m happy with the audio once taking out alot of the rumbling low frequency. Video after the break.
Just put up an photography portfolio as I’ve started to get into it a lot more and thought it would be a good idea to have an exclusive photography site to avoid confusion
I recently found out about blurb books and created a book using their booksmart software. Great to use and I received the book yesterday at excellent quality printing (althought I did select premium option) Check in out on my blurb page.
The video seem much clearer then alternative video sites, although you are restricted to 90 seconds of footage and it doesn’t seem to many people are pleased with this feature. I find it quite interesting for time-lapse and techniques involving photography concepts but can see a lot of junk filling up flickr.
Quick post to say I is all flickr’d up. Forgot how much fun photography was!
