1 Clip is For You Cloud Users

Some of you may see this and think to yourself sarcastically "Oh Great, more clouds".  Let me tell you, you WILL have a use for this at some point in your career.  Besides showing the hands of a clock moving, clouds are a great way to illustrate the passing of time.

This clip is a product of me trying out a feature of the Sony FS700 that people may not first care for.  I shot this at 2 fps, which is a little strange since most people will jump to using the slow motion capabilities of the camera.  What is nice vs. my DSLR is I can get an even exposure without shutter variation and the footage is compiled directly in the camera.  I also can shoot FASTER than 1fps which is helpful when I want clouds that are not moving TOO fast.

1 Clip is a Little Foggy

This clip was taken early in the morning in a very mountainous area of New York State.  I was actually visiting my extended family, not really looking to get any footage.  The area was beautiful and I only had one 16GB memory card on me that had the Magic Lantern Firmware.  This meant that I only could come home with one time lapse (lesson learned!).  This was, I think my 6th attempt at something.  The previous day, I had captured a couple of cloud formations that I thought were nice.  Each time I deleted the contents of the card to capture something "better".  The next morning I woke to the mountainside covered in fog.  So ... I deleted the previous day's time lapse and took a risk.  While I feel it turned out great considering it was shot off of the front porch of my grandmother-in-law's house, I do feel the deep focal length hurt the shot a bit.  The shot was composed between two foreground pine trees on each side of the lens, a home across the street below and power lines in the foreground above.  This far in, it created much more motion that I had hoped for in the shot considering how the background is not established for long.
