Hey guys filmed this in and around Halifax, NS.

Critiques and comments welcome. Only question I have is why the SD version looks so shity? Maybe I'm imagining it but it seems worse than normal to me.

i enjoyed it too.. as far as color, the beginning seemed a little more saturated than than some of the riding scenes that seemed a little washed out from the sunlight off the water..maybe just a couple minor tweaks to that but nothing too extravagant. pretty good job.

Hmmm, threads for later.

I recently discovered that this was used in Refresh, no hate, I had no clue either. I was in the process of making an edit with it!

Damn, I guess I just really recognize this song because I have it on my ski playlist...


What lens(es) were you shooting with? Long end seemed really soft and pretty overexposed at times, colors were pretty bland i feel like your black level could have been lower.

tamron 17-50
70-200 f4 non IS

I noticed it seems soft too, I have no idea why tho. With higher apertures would it have gotten soft? I shoot with a really high aperture so I can keep everything in focus during the pan but I don't think that should effect the sharpness..

Over like 11 it starts to lower your IQ. Also, shooting @200 will lower your IQ too. The shot is so long that even f/4 everything you want in focus will be in focus because its so far away. Shoot around 180-190 (or get a 2x extender and shoot 300-350) and like f5.6 or f8.
