My Neighbors

Just a little video of my neighbors around the corner.

This little gem is some initial test footage with my new camera. It is a Canon T2i, a piece of equipment that, considering its main use is still photography, takes very nice video. The controls are all manual in video mode, which takes getting used to. So this video is far from perfection, but I'm in learning phase right now with the camera. I color graded these shots a bit, and not all entirely the same, so if you notice changes between the shots, you are not going crazy. The song belongs to John Mayer, and whoever he dealt with while recording... Either way, it ain't mine.







I also took a few pictures of the horses, you know, to let the machine fulfill the measure of its creation. It takes wonderful pictures, or I could say I take wonderful pictures... Truth be told, any goodness in these photographs has nothing to do with me. It does have to do with great characters and the camera. I color graded them in Photoshop as well, so the style changes depending on the picture. I had a fun day experimenting with my new toy, and I will be continuing this process as often as I can. Practice makes perfect, after all...
