When we are together.

This was my first video using my Canon T2i. I used a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. No grading. Straight from camera to edit to compression to web. It’s a little shaky, but I didn’t us anything to stabilize so it is what it is.

I attempted to have sort of a story in this. I don’t know how well it reads, but for just a bunch of random clips I took walking around the beach with my girlfriend I’m happy.

Breaking the camera out!

Ever since I first got my camera,the Canon XH A1, I really haven’t taken full advantage of all the features until recently. So in this post i have compiled all the tests that I have posted online over the past year, in order or date shot from old to new, and included a short description of what i believe to have done wrong and how to better my skills for next time.
