Thank U Dan.

Which do you like better?

The D40 or HV20?

Hey Dan, great, great little doc. I saw the entire thing on the website. What lens(es) did you use here?

The D90 is just a tool, I think it can produce sometimes stunning results and on other occasions it can be pretty average. I think a HV20 is a great tool too, I use both. I will try an EOS5DmkII as well, you just don't know what works for you until you try it.

Lens wise there is a Nikon 80-200 f2.8, 17-35 f2.8, Tokina 11-16 f2.8 and a Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 in use here.

I love the shot with the flailing awnings!

It's really unbelievable to see how good the results are - with a DSLR!

Great!

Dan,
Great stuff, man. Are you using an external recorder or the internal mic for the audio? Thanks.
Cheers,
Bill.

I have an Edirol R09 recorder which I use some of the time for sync sound.

Dan

Very nice, Dan. You got some great sound here, would have been nice to hear more nat sound piped through in the finished Guardian piece. Have you used the EOS 5D Mark II yet? I'm hoping to get my hands on one of those soon.

CHINA OUT OF TIBET NOW.

TIBET WILL BE FREE!

So I guess the lens used in the praying shot at 00:20 was the Tokina 11-16 f2.8??

I'm in the process of getting a new lens, just want one (student budget). And I like wide, but some zooms can come in handy too. Can't decide.

Beautiful shots, Very good camera.

The flailing "curtains" shot worth alone to watch!
Fantastic!

love your work man

I think you've shown what possibilities these cameras bring to journalism as a whole. Great example of that, and great clip.

Wait ... How can you make videos with an SLR?

nice footage. like the shots with the camera on the ground and the people slide forward to the point of focus. some of the footage almost looks cgi. did you play with it in post?

i'm a chinese,i not good at english,but i want to say,Tibet is a important part of china,we a family.

This is the most amazing footage I've seen with the D90. I got mine before my vacation to Korea and I dig it a lot. Your stuff is admittingly better than anything I can currently do and it goes to show that it's not all in the equipment - you have to have a good eye for composition and a plan on "how to tell the story". This Magic Bullet Looks plugin is also pretty dazzling. It makes even "B roll" shots look significant. Cheers and thanks for sharing.

with P.R China Tibet region has become very progressive :)

great shots

Really cool. Did you notice the cute little Tibetan Spaniel on the steps? Great dog! ;-)

Nice..!!!!

Excellent use of the D90. It works in spades outdoors with good lenses. Love the ultra wide shoots.

I was just wondering, what does a company like Nikon really know about VIDEO? You know.... in comparison to say a Sony, Panasonic, JVC, even Canon?

I mean... they started their "video business" only in late 2008, correct?
