This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

Got to screen a music video I directed for my Production I class the other day in front of a good sized crowd. Got an awesome reaction and it won the "Audience Choice Award". Honestly not totally satisfied with how it came out, but I never really am. Nevertheless the validation feels good.

Here's a link to the video if anyone wants to watch it (I didn't get to pick the song)

turning a chunk of wood I found in my basement into an Aaton style handle. Chiseling and sanding away at it for the past two hours, could be really sick

Why's that? LR is super powerful. The RAW engine is the same as CS 6' and more powerful than all previous versions of photoshop. And LR's organizing capablities are great

Sweet. I'd love a 35mm Summicron. That'd probably be the perfect lens for my shooting style.

seriously..I understand editing a photo from time to time in PS, in which case you can edit in PS then bring back into LR seamlessly.

Yeah, you just select 'edit in photoshop' and then bring it back. That's why the program's so awesome in the first place.

What did flashes you shoot with?

How did the sync on your 5D do? Whats max sync? Like 250? You don't end up with blurry shots with slow shutter speeds?

Stoked on my first timelapse.

Not stoked that it looks like crap...

Why does it look so bad? Shot and edited in 1080p, Apple Prores (LT), then compressed with Compressor to h.264. I'm no video expert so I might have fucked something up but I don't get why it looks so goddamn crappy. Probably has to do with vimeo, because it looks super good when I play it in VLC....

That's one of the things I don't understand. Doesn't it automatically go into HD when it is 720p or higher?

I was shooting with a Sunpak 555 and Canon 550EX.

5d syncs pretty well, although for most of what I was doing that afternoon, I was using my Pixel Kings with ETTL and the 550ex so it could have been hypersyncing. Actually it probably was, as this photo is 1/250th and he's not perfectly frozen which means it was using full power. Flash is handheld camera right.

Basically, I had to wait for the sun to go behind the mountain to actually have a shot at overpowering ambient with speedlights. Stoked to try the einstein, though it will probably be mad overkill

Also:

STOKED AS FUCK that I'm finally skiing. Just on some playground. My first time skiing rails (I know, I know...), my first time urban and lastly, my first time shooting skiing/action with flash. This is all new for me so I'm not very happy with the lighting and all, but the shot came out cool and people are stoked on it so I'm happy!

It might even make the cover photo for tomorrow which I'm super stoked on!

If you haven't rated yet, I'd be stoked if you did!
