1 Stock Footage Clip is Frozen to a Point

I was able to take advantage of a free morning as well as a very crisp cold day to get this shot.  I was hoping for a completely clear day, but the few wisps of clouds you see in the background are actually quite nice.  While the sun coming through the ice IS powerful, I feel this attempt was too "messy" for my personal taste overall.

It was partially due to laziness in not getting my external ND filter and relying on the on board 1/64 the FS700 has.  This made the capture a f/40 (yes 40).  I would have much rather shot this somewhere around f/8-11.  The imperfections/dust on the outside of the window I was shooting out of came in to play a lot more that i had hoped because of it (you better believe those weren't on my lens!).  This was a somewhat selfish decision as well, since I valued the heat in my home and the "newness" of my camera a little too much to have it sitting outside for 2 hours in 4 degree weather.

I did decided to upload this, because although I feel it is somewhat "dirty", and look forward to a much more clean reshoot, I appreciate the dreamlike feeling this has, and think it would compliment some of the work a lot of you are doing.  Hope you can find a use for it!

1 Stock Footage Clip is Fast and Flurrious

We've been getting hit with some pretty nice snow bands here in Upstate NY.  I thought it might be fun to strap the camera in the passenger seat and record my trip home from work.  I don't see too many driving time lapse clips done in the winter out there.

I shot this at 1fps and dragged the shutter to 1/2 using the FS700, and honestly wish there was a little more light available.  I can't wait to get some lenses on this baby that can get wider than a F/4.0.  I pushed the levels in post just slightly, but didn't want to alter it too far away for the original. Please feel free to do what you like with it.
