FINALLY a break in the rain.

Also figured out some compressor settings that work decently.

I'm disappointed in the way the final scene turned out, I wish it was a bit slower. Slowing it down in post didn't work out so hot. Oh well, something to practice.

Nice!
What's the music you're using?

The song is incubus- aqueous transmission.

Nice work Matt. Was the last shot a auto-focus button press or manual? I agree ... a bit slower with a manual focus would have been sweet.

Cute dog too! What breed is that?

I used the position preset slider switch on the camera to do that last scene. I wish I knew of a way to slow that motion down on the camera itself. I would have done it manually, but I didn't think I'd be able to nail the final focus and get a sharp image. I guess it's just something to practice. The problem too with moving that slider switch is it caused the camera to jitter on the tripod.

The dog is a shetland sheepdog, a mini collie.

Thanks for the comments

I like this! You have 3 presets for the focus speed, i think. Any preset used or just factory settings?

yeah, I finally finished reading the manual. you can pick the speed internally.

thanks
