I got a T2i with a Canon 17-40 f/4L. Pretty much just random shots from a weekend in Steamboat. With critiques on this, I'm not really looking for a critique on how good the edit itself was, because I realize its pretty much a bunch of random shots, I'm looking for your thoughts on the following kind of things:

What did you think of the way i exposed the shots, my shutter speed and aperture, my export settings for overall quality, and whatever else you would like to say.

Thank you, and the video is here if you would like to rate it.

Looking good!! For me, a few shots at the beginning were a little over exposed, I try to crank the aperture in super bright light, or a polarized filter would be nice. Shutter speed seemed to me a little funky at the beginning but it seemed as the edit progressed so did the quality of your shots. remember to double your shutter speed, so at 1080 24p shoot around 50 or 60 shutter speed, and 720 60fps shoot around 125 shutter speed. This all depends on the look/effect/feel you want in your shots but a good thing to know with the DSLRs. keep it up, the more you shoot the more you'll learn what you like and how you did it!

I agree about the exposure being a little hot, even on the trampoline shots.  Invest in a couple ND filters if you're not already shooting with them.  Everything else looked great.
