Leslie was making some muffins for our Easter celebration at my grandmother’s house today and I took the opportunity to shoot a little footage with my mom’s new D7000. I’m really impressed with the look of this camera!
I used the Nikon 1:1.8 35mm lens for the test at ISO100. I kept the iris at 1.8 the entire time which is why the focus is rough, but I LOVE the look it gives. Now I want to give this a shot with some serious lenses…
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a man asking if he could use some footage that I had posted from Christmas 1960. I was extremely impressed that this person even bothered to track me down and send me an email asking for permission. After a couple of conversations by email and phone, and talking with my dad and grandparents, I was happy to give them permission to use the footage.
The video is for a song called Christmas Card by Rob Fahey. Here’s the final product that they came up with!
If you are interested, he has a new Christmas album that has just been released. If you would like a copy you can get it on CD Baby.
What was good last year is worth repeating. Enjoy watching us put up our Christmas tree!
I had so much fun posting yesterday’s video that I really wanted to post another one today. This video shows my mom and me getting ready for Santa’s arrival, then seeing what he left! I’m fascinated with my really country voice in this video – glad I grew out of that!
