Hehe of course. Though pool tiles are nice, and the occasional pool mermaid passing by is definitely worth a look, I definitely meant your final work, worth sharing.

You may have seen Gerald's brilliant 45 Gegapixel Image of Dubai.

Here, we begin testing the use of the RED EPIC for "Gegapixelography"...if that is even a word?

Ah nice! I haven't tried loading an Epic or Scarlet on that just yet, but it looks like it's holding just fine!

Prepping for the Dubai World Cup, where $33,000,000 are at stake during the 9 races. Ready to capture it with EPICs, 5DMiii's (for time-lapse), and one of my favorite lenses. The Canon 800mm.

I love shooting telephoto so much.

Coming up soon some of my Scarlet-X shots with a vintage Leica R Telyt telephoto 400mm and there will be a several quick & dirty random tests of very fast wind surfers on Vimeo.

Stay tuned.

Which reminds me. A huge thanks to the people at RED. I've been super busy the past couple of weeks on a number of projects here in Dubai but will soon, inshallah, feature the city of Dubai at night with the Leica-M Noctilux with a prototype from RED's little workshop.

My first thoughts? RED is definitely maintaining their ability to build the most beautifully built hardware. It is rock solid...every bit as much as the Ti Canon Mounts...

 

[Doug Beatty]

Hey Joseph- Go ahead and put that lens and mount in your duplicator machine and e-mail them to my office, stat! I need to print out a copy and do some testing of my own.

Crazy stuff man... What lens was used for that?

 

[Andrew clemson]

Im pretty sure its a combination of 2 bodies shooting side by side, one wide, one telephoto. Or at least thats what I remember from gerald explaining after about 12 beers.....

Haha! In the picture with the EPIC, we are using a 100mm RPP. We have been using the Canon 90mm TS lens with the 5Dmiii's more so because it is easier to import the 300 pictures from a 360° pano from a Canon than it is to go through a video stream and export 300 TIFFs in RC-X.

Here's a much better shot of the EPIC taken taken by my 5DMiii...

What top plate is that????

 

[Joseph Hutson]

What top plate is that????

RED's NAB '11 Prototype. Jarred was kind enough to let me keep it after borrowing it.

 

[Chris McKechnie]

Is that the RED bolt on QR plate? What do you have the rails riding on?

RED's "Quick Release Platform Pack" takes the Quick Release Bolt-On Platform to a bit higher level with the ability to mount rails...

I've been having a little bit of fun here in Dubai the past few months, working for His Highness, Shiekh Hamdan, the Crown Prince of Dubai. Pictured just to the left of me...

 

[Joseph Hutson]

You guys are gonna love the footage coming at you soon...

Unbelievable how nice the Gates Housing is for the EPIC. I just got back from Fiji where we did some more tests with the housing. We made about 7 dives. No problems. I had a shot where 14 full sized bull sharks surrounded me and were all in the frame at once.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Giraffes!

The Gates housing looks great...
