Kep

Weekend In Kep

We had another long Weekend holiday. So Kep is where we head again. This time I brought the 5DMKII to take some photos and videos. All the Nikon stuff stayed home. I think I've got the hang of it and getting a bit more used to the 5D. I brought my only 2 lenses. The 17-40mm f4 L and the 50mm f1.4. The Donkey, Dancer and Sophia joined on this trip.

The pool at Veranda is finally finished. The biggest pool in Kep.

Tons of locals visited Kep during this long holiday weekend

Bitching storm on our last evening in town. The clouds looked awesome.

Another Go At Lighting The Scene

This time I've got Dancer to model for me. Please tell me you thoughts on how I can improve this video.

Nikon D90 Shot With Canon 5DMKII and 50mm F1.8 Lens

My First try of the 5DMKII with some lighting. Shot with the 50mm f1.8 lens. Edited in Final Cut Pro. No color correction. Picture control "standard". Tell me what you think.

A short video with some friends on top of Canadia Tower 30 stories up and the tallest building in the city. My first video with the Canon 5DMKII and 50 f1.4 lens.

Another Vid

First video With Canon 7D

I did it. You can blame Nikon for this. They lag behind Canon and the micro four thirds format in implementing video into DSLR's. So now I use both platforms. That means carrying lenses for 2 different systems which is a pain. Hopefully Nikon will release something video wise that is full HD. Who wants to invest in more lenses and carry more crap? Remember this is just a "fun" video. I'm not a film maker. I just find video intriguing.

Who else but Dancer?

These shots were taken with a Canon 7D and 50mm f1.8 lens with 2 small 180 W.S. cheap-chinese-flash-monoblocks on a makeshift still life table.

Here's the lighting setup

It wasn't me. She insisted on doing this and made me take these photos.
