yeah... a feature about the decrepit mind of a dendrophiliac! WizzAO!

Beautiful!

haha are you teasing me with your xha1? =)

ya haha ;) I'm like a proud daddy with my new toy ;) Just got it from last week
see vimeo.com/804461 ;)

well i cannot hear it from several feet away, but indoors it would probably be picked up by the internal mic or a stereo mic attached directly to the camera, much like the tape head of the camera can be picked up (that level). however a shotgun mic attached shouldn't pick it up though. if that helps :)

i got the nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 and shortly after, the 28-70 F2.8 a while ago. at the time i thought it would cover the focal range i require, however in retrospect i regret not choosing the 17-35mm F2.8 over the 28-70 as the angle of view is so much more significant in the 17-35 range, and noticeable in terms of perspective.
so with that expressed, i wouldn't get a zoom in between. instead perhaps a prime (eg: 50mm 1.8). i assume this is also for adapter/video use? if so, manual nikons sell for so cheap on ebay these days. just make sure it's in good condition =)

thanks Philip :)

thanks Aaron :)

I love the mini35 with the hv20. It allows me to get what I want without having a huge camera (crowd pleaser lol) making the portability and subtlety excellent. Smaller is sometimes better :D especially when you don't want to draw attention (or be disturbed) whilst shooting... though it does still turn a lot of heads, must be it's cuteness =)

Hi Sugoi :) I shot in shutter-priority - hdv (pf25)

cheers

I haven't really shot closed with it yet. Primarily because I want the bokeh from max aperture (ie: F2.8/F1.8). I will be doing a short that will require more depth soon, so I guess we'll see :)

'composed' it in Soundtrack Pro from a few different library loops and effects. Glad you liked it =)

thankyou :) actually no color correction. i only pushed the shot which is the vimeo thumbnail (00:38). all else was not altered in post. after filming, i thought i would saturate the greens and make it vivid, but when i captured it, it was green enough and so i did not want to alter it's natural color =)

Wow! I'm suprised. That green is just so...how can I say it? GREEN! Gotta love the capabilities of Canon HV Series. I recently picked up the HV30 and love it.

thankyou
i call it Charles-overy
