  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Scarlet-X 256...O'Hara settled in at the bottom of the Rockies

Nice, this one feels like a Milestone, since you were really wondering if you had been passed by and all.

PICS! FOOTAGE! lol. And congrats.
 
Hey guys thanks for the good vibes! I tried to get out and shoot a little today but its like -10 out right now so I didn't shoot to much. Did a 3K HDRx sequence, 4K, and 48 at 3K, and 60 at 2K of a deer that I found, I had to shoot by hand which is harder than I expected but I only had a tophandle. Plus the deer kept trying to get away every few seconds.
 
Jeffrey,

As a former resident of Chipita Park, and graduate of Manitou Springs High School, it would be great to see images of the area again.
Weather permitting, shoot the Garden of the Gods with late afternoon sun, and crepuscular rays of the setting sun off of Pike's Peak.
Thank you.
 
So I shot some stuff today and was really unimpressed with the 24-70 2.8L, might be selling that lens to pick up a few primes in it's place. Not going to post what I shot today. It was extremely overcast and freezing so I didn't get to shoot much. I'm setting up a week in Breck right now where I'll really get to put together something I want to share. I'll post some stills later.

You got it, it was -6 today and overcast, didn't really work as I planned. I'll try again another day.
 
Congrats jeffrey, i have a feeling that your posts will be different now and will be way less :)

Up for grabs, is the first to shoot HDRX

Thanks Roshdi,

I actually tried it today but don't think it came out really well. I'll be in downtown Denver on Friday night when it's hopefully not as cold and will give some a spin.

I did shoot some HDR today of a deer walking down a road and it didn't seem to cause any problems. The city I live in now (Colorado Springs) is just not the look I like for shooting in the winter. It's just very bland looking. Denver provides a semi colorful cityscape.
 
Jeffrey, congrats! :)

Hope you post footage/stills real soon! Don't let the weather stop your enthusiasm!
Concerning you place (Colorado Springs), sometimes, what we think is not interesting- because we see that place every day for years- looks uninteresting. I have the same feeling about where i am and am sure as soon as I shoot some footage of this place, people from outside will find it interesting. What for us is bland and fairly common, for someone on the other side of the world is fresh and unique (because they have never seen it before!). Present it in an interesting way with your Scarlet, and Colorado Springs will shine!

Haha Thanks Sergio, before I saw this I decided to go ahead and render out a couple shots of the Deer I shot today. He was moving around quite a bit so I had a hard time shooting on tripod so the shots or shaky with no IS, but Everyone else has shared so I will too. Don't get me wrong, C-Springs is beautiful. I'll be all over it in the summer, winter doesn't do it for me for some reason, but I'll go ahead and share. Here is where the transcoding fun begins!
 
Congrats Jeffrey! Looking forward to your stills and footage. :)
 
Jeffrey, regarding your top handle / battery plate issue try this :

unscrew both the handle and the rosette from the top handle mount and rebuilt it the other way around... this way you'll have it with the kip lever toward the back of the camera (easier access), the holes will be also be on the correct side, the overall length will be a bit shorter toward the back and should solve your issue.

For some reason recent top handles sent by RED are reversed from what they used to be

and congrats for a nice geeky Scarlet # 256 !!!
 
Congrats!! Dont forget to post alot.
 
Congratulations on getting the camera, thanks for the video too.

I actually like that footage of the deer you put up. I find it very atmospheric, in a harsh, bleak kind of way. I have no doubt that area you're in, even at that time of year, could be used to good effect for the right kind of project/s. But if it's not what you're into, fair enough. I personally would rather watch a feral-looking deer with one antler try to find something to eat amongst the sticks while the insects buzz around than...a lot of other stuff I can think of. But that's just me. :)

Thanks Les, thats what I tried to do with the coloring. My brother and I intend to do a short in the area up there. He's actually in the military and we have access to alot of unique items that might otherwise be hard to come accross.
