Christmas Surprises

The holiday season came around and I decided it was the perfect time to treat myself to something I've been wanting to do, I rented a Canon 7D.

8 frames per second still shooting, full HD video, and a totally redesigned autofocus system, there isn't quite anything more that I would want except a full frame sensor. Anyways, this camera has blown me away in every aspect(the new autofocus system is way better) but in particular I am completely amazed by the video capabilities. I have been tinkering with the video for 2 days now and I am amazed at some of the footage I've been getting. I need some time to get the editing all dialed but by next week I should have up a pretty good landscape/timelapse/nature footage edit. Sounds a little weird but trust me... it will be good.

So I've been in this video mode for the last few days and today rolls around and I end up with one of the best presents I could have asked for, a GoPro Helmet Cam.

Heres a few tester shots from today:


The GoPro is amazing. I got some park shots from today too and they turned out pretty good. My big mistake wasn't having having the mount tight enough. I'm just waiting for the day to take this baby out when we get a lot of snow.

Trying to keep it short, maybe more people will read this way, but if not, it really isn't a big deal.

Shots of the week (quite a diverse bunch of photos this week):

Essex the moon photo is an amazing minimalist photo. it really caught my eye while scrolling.

and yes it is too bad some of the canons don't have full frame.

nice go pro by the way, good footage.
