I'm videotaping a wedding a week from Saturday and have the gear I need, but I wanted to see what the quality was of the Nikon D5000 output in video mode. Soooo, trekked on over to Cliff Drive (where else) and did some shooting. Not my best work by a loooooong shot... also, while the camera worked well, it just won't do for the situations one faces at a wedding. Perhaps, during the service, it could be over in the corner giving me one more angle. We'll see.
But, while I cinemztizing the leaves cooperated by falling... and two hawks decided to put on a little air show... they were using the constant breeze to wind surf... pretty interesting.
Anyway... the movie below is interesting but certainly far from acceptable technically. In fairness though this is reduced from 500mb to 14.7.... the uncompressed looks much better.
On a mission to walk 2.5 miles everyday this week.... intend to lose weight or die in the attempt. Deep blue skies and fast moving clouds ruled the day. Bottom pix are of Corinthian Hall again... which has roses that seem to bloom forever. All Nikon D3 and 70-200mm zoom f5.6 to 22 ASA 400 shot at minus one third stop.
Don't know whether the above saucer was taking off or landing........
Finally got out of the house for something other than work today. Walked Cliff Drive. I'm afraid bare trees are imminent. 
Above private residence, below Corinthian Hall which is currently being decorated with Scarecrows for the auction Friday night... 6-9:30pm on the Museum grounds. Sunday is Halloween in Old Northeast.... 5-8pm.
All shots taken with the Nikon D3 and 24-70 zoom. Aperture priority between f5.6 and f11 at ASA 200.
This is a blast every year and will be even better this time around. The kids just LOVE it. It's from 5-8pm.
The homes for the 2010 Holiday Homes Tour over here in jolly old Northeast have been announced. This year the Tour will be on Sunday, December 5th from 2 - 5pm. Tickets will be available at the old Corinthian Hall Carriage House on Indiana between Gladstone Boulevard and Windsor Avenue. More detail as we get closer... but save the date.
Took a brief trip to the most photographed place on Planet KC today looking for something, anything different. Didn't succeed but posting anyway.
