Be still my beating heart, how much more can we take?
53,029 views now with 71 subscribers. in 3 days another 1000+ views. Have to say it is amazing
Especially as it was you who took the video, then to see all the views and subscribers, itâs also a bit of a confidence booster I would imagine, having that many views, âŠit is a good video thoughâŠ
Thank you Pauline. I have always said if the photographer like the photo then that is all that matters. If others like it as we then is is a bonus, That is my motto anyway. What I donât get is anyone who dislikes a photo they never ever say why. My guess it is all down to jealousy which which to me shows a weak character. There are some that have to make pointless comments as well ,not at all uncommon even on here. Constructive criticism should always be welcomed even if one agrees with it or not. I have often found that remarks about a photo does not take into account what any issues were in getting the shot, Maybe it is a time issue or difficult location prevents, it is only the photographer knows.
Remember the old saying âit is not the camera that takes the photo/video, it is the person behind that does, the camera only records what was taken at the timeâ.
Some go to learn about photography and get taught exactly what many others have learnât before. The issue here is they are all going to take the same type of photo no individuality. Learning by mistakes, and I have and do make many, is the quickest way to remember not some person telling you in a classroom. Well that is my philosophy for what it is worth
making a video is the easy part, editing is where the art comes in. What do you cut out/add in- continuity or clips with a black gap or fade in/out. Adding titles and or sound tracks- as we know daylight can change rapidly dealing with the change. just a few things more involved onto of the usual photograpic stills editing

I even showed my son the video, he said it was excellent, I have watched it loads of times, youâve captured the beauty and power of those beautiful RhinosâŠ
You need to enter it into a competitionâŠ
Only entered a couple of stills international competitions in the past run by companies and didnât do too bad being in the top 3 but that is another story.
Like any photography it is only practise that improves but with a video consumer type of camcorder I have notices a huge difference over the past 10 years. My old Panasonic HC-X900m that made that video with was at the time top of the pro-consumer range and lasted for 9 years and went to many countries with me. Only part exchanged as it was starting to give a couple of problems such as the cooling fan kept stopping, but a really great camcorder .
This new Sony FDR-AX53 they call handycam is something else. The built in stabliser for one is truly amazing . I have yet to give it a proper workout as it takes time to get to know the features in the menu and they are many , Now can just about walk and take a steady video totally impossible with the old panasonic.
I have been studying on youtube and most videos taken are from one place at a time not walking along, so something worth remembering. Also even in films a clip only lasts for abouit 5 seconds before another angle is taken, check it out for yourself next time watching a film, another tip i picked up.
So instead of just watching a film or whatever I am beginning to look how the shots were taken,ie low down-closeup-direction of movement-length of clip etc. I must be going nuts.

Itâs your passion, nothing wrong in thatâŠenjoy it!!..
I have a standard definition Canon video camera which has a feature that, when engaged, filmed for 4 secs then stopped (I forget what they called it) I thought it was brilliant and used it a lot, taking a series of such clips it was basically a matter of stringing them together, while leaving out the dodgy ones, to make an interesting fast paced video.
Sometimes I get the urge to buy another video camera but have yet to find an HD one with this feature.
Bruce that is interesting, never heard of a video camera that did that as well but I have never had anything to do with the Canon mark. How did that cutting out the âdodgyâ ones affect the sound track? or did you overwite on another editing track then add.
Can I ask why you want to stay with 1080p recording only? I ask this because this Sony FDR-AX53 can record at 4k and 1080p at the same time
