Nice report Steve! I thought that Peacocks were limited to the locations around Miami. Very cool to know for my next trip down that way!
Thanks Bry!
Matt: Thanks for the link … I [s:skegpvu3]really need to add[/s:skegpvu3] just added the Laforet blog to my rss reader! I think/hope that a whole new market for less expensive equipment, that is specifically for dslr video creation, is developing.
I agree … Opens up the door to some very cool ideas. I have an Alien Bee’s setup and still need to add a flash or two. I have a couple of more creative projects in mind. Hopefully, I will get around to actually executing them this summer. Other than that mostly portrait type stuff up til now …
It’s too bad those lenses cost $1400, huh?
Yeah, I can think of a few other lenses that I would choose before a tiltshift … Dang cool effect though. The lensbaby is pretty fun to play around with and a little cheaper. 😉
Thought I’d update with a couple more “cover-material” type shots .. Feel free to use any three shots out of the ones posted. Look forward to hearing the critiques from Phil!
Kendal: I think the intent got a little confused when the two original threads were merged. The original thread was generally asking for “constructive editorial critique of reader-submitted photographs” not specifically cover shot material… Perhaps it would make more sense if Zach/Phil opened this up to Covers and TOC shots?
Thanks Doug .. I didn’t think that Pictureline rented any film/video equipment (off camera audio, steady cam, and glidetrack type dolly), but I will be sure to check with them.
Thanks Zach … Found it. This is the thread I was thinking of – http://www.itinerantangler.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?num=1244601579/ . I’ll start digging through my images for potential cover shots! 😉
Sounds like a great opportunity … Thanks Phil and Zach. Wasn’t there another thread related to this podcast a while back? I looked, but couldn’t find it. I wanted to see which photos I had submitted for that thread.
Thanks for the great ideas and the conversation! Sounds like I have a lot to research over the next year 🙂 I’ll have to see if there is anywhere to rent this stuff local to try-before-you-buy.
Mark: Thanks. Yeah, I saw Ian’s video yesterday. He does some very cool fly fishing and snowboarding photography also! I have been meaning to send him and email to see if he’d share some ideas about his setup.
Chad: I was hoping you would jump in on this thread and that you might have some insight. I agree, most of the handheld footage I see it looks like it would be a PIA to get a steady shot. Do you think it would be worth the extra cash to get a few relatively inexpensive supplemental tools like off camera audio, steady cam, and some sort of glidetrack type dolly?
I have been asked to provide some video in addition to my usual imagery the last few years by various clients. I have also had website clients starting to ask for high(er) quality video for inclusion on their websites. Which is actually what got me going in this direction in the first place.
Neal: I actually don’t know how long I’ll be able to resist… lol. Story boarding, setting up shots, timing, premiere, after effects .. All sound like a blast to me. I cant wait to get a new body and dig in.
Seems that the demand for digital artists who are capable of wearing more than one hat might have more opportunity. I have really been looking hard at picking up a 7D and a bit of gear to get me started. I was curious what other people here saw as basic essentials.
I’m thinking you could do some really nice wildlife video with the 500 … I watched a African wildlife video, done on the 5D, yesterday that made me wonder which lenses they were using.
Please post your results once you start playing around. I’d love to see what you do.
Couple of links you might find interesting …
