ok, so here's the deal - new baby, new camera (and a nerdy blog post). in our case it's a panasonic GF1, a clicker that won't keep my nikons out of business, but most certainly out of my travel/day bag. indeed, virtually all of ottavio's pix thus far have been captured with this machine as well as most of the recent entries (not the clementines though.. micro-nikkor material). shedded pounds of walking gear notwithstanding, it was just about time to move into the age of HD anyways and pretend to be a videographer, like so many other deluded stills guys. hehe, who's kidding who? (though this is awesome fun).
this clip was shot in manual focus @iso 100 with the 'standard' pancake 20mm f1.7 lumix lens - what a sweet little gem of glass this thing is if a tad slow in the AF department. straight outta camera, just converted to .mov from the GF1's kickass AVCHD and uploaded to vimeo - no grading, colouring, editing, etc (like i would know the difference). to watch in HD click HERE.
