You are my density

Successful field test of the filters today (as I hoped last night). I took the camera with me to work and busted it out after lunch. Had a nice sunny day with a blue sky. This was shot using the 1.2 filter (4 stops), ISO 100, 1/50 at f/4. I shot on one of the downloadable "flat" color profiles and did some minor color correction in Final Cut. I didn't try to be extra creative in the color correction or achieve a "look," but I was hoping it would look "filmy," and some of the shots do.

I feel like I'm starting to really understand what I might be capable of with this camera. The clip is HD, so feel free to watch it full-screen.

Very cool. Three things:

a. Love the BTTF reference. "Give me a milk...chocolate."

b. Looks like you work in a cool place. Almost like a college campus. The pacific northwest is so beautiful.

c. Do you ever feel self-conscious taping random people? I'm sure having the nicer camera helps, but I always feel insecure about taping in public. Is it an issue for you? How do you get over that?

a. Yeah, some people got it. :)

b. It totally feels like a college campus, only they pay you instead of vice versa.

c. I dunno. I guess it comes from my journalism background. I'm just there documenting something in public. And yes, the bigger your camera, the less people seem to care.
