Photography/Video

Red cameras are awesome, and don't cost nearly as much as the typical ones used for film making. The body runs about $20,000 (instead of something 10x as expensive) and uses standard Nikon lenses. I remember watching a great movie earlier this year filmed entirely with the Red camera, District 9. Another one was Book of Eli.

And this one is one Jessy posted on ...

I stumbled across this video, courtesy Tal Sweet today. Had to share it with my fellow addicts.



Love the quality!

I recently made some Top Down Photo Boxes, so I had one handy to take a few pictures. I'll be far happier to share pictures from the new clean tank set up, compared to these holding vats. I've got no space, there are various issues that ruin the shots, and sadly I've lost some corals due to fluctuations in water quality during all of my travels over the past 3.5 months since the 280g was broken down.

This first shot is from the propagation section in my sump. These are tiny Green ...

With the room under construction, I'm enjoying this moonlit look of the fishroom. There's a quiet haunting feel to it, and it needed sharing.

What does it say to you?

Jessy takes great late night pictures, and I asked her to show me some of her secrets. We walked down to the beach and set up our cameras on tripods, and then commenced shooting. For the stars, 1000 ISO for 8 seconds was just about right for my D90. For the buildings, it was 85 seconds to get an interesting profile with a starburst effect from some lights.
