My new Hero! It is one thing “hearing” about something new, but totally a different thing to see what this can mean. Clearly for a DSLR the Canon 5D Mk II has some incredible utility. However the real artistic genius is squarely in your hands Mike! Totally awesome that you would share with the WWW! Makes me want to fly up and attend one of your classes! Can’t wait to get my 5D MK II copy as I just sold my 5D which I loved. I hope I can get the results with my Canon L lens series, 17-40 / 24-105 & 70-200 zooms that you have so elequantly shown us. I really want to integrate HD onto my website. I do a lot of New Model Homes around McKinney and I mostly shoot in natural light stills with my 40D. Now I have other ideas with the HD Video. Again WOW! Example on my natural light shots:(http://www.mckinneyhomerebate.com/idx/cms/105/details.html).

Thanks Marshal, Glenn and Christian. Christian, I am thinking about doing a small workshop in the near future, I have gotten a few inquires like yours. I will email you if and when it happens. Probably July or August.
Cheers,
Mike

Saw the link on DPR also. Very well done. You did a great job of capturing the diversity and action. Having never been to NY or to the GCS, you gave me a good feeling about it. thank you.

Hey Mike!

I saw your post on DPR on this video. Very impressive!! This is exactly the type of stuff I want to do. I had a 5D forever and just got a 5Dii a week or so ago. I live in Manhattan, if you’re interested, I’d love to go shoot with you some time and get some pointers on the video side of things. The concept of video is new to me and I could use all the help I could get! If you’re interested, let me know!

Thanks!

Great video! I love that shallow depth of field.

What was with all the flash photography in the concourse? Was there some special event on, or was that just people taking photos of each other?

It sounded like the music was clipped towards the end, but that could have just been my computer.

I have to hand it to you – You did a remarkable video using what you had, AND the first time out- I appreciate you posting the tech info and PLEASE keep doing that – looking forward to more videos

thanks debora. i think the Nikon video quality is good. just wanted to get a new toy ;O) but of course it is great to be able to use old Nikon Lenses on the 5Dmk2.

This is exceptional. You captured such character in the individuals.

Thank you for posting the technical information. Being a Nikon shooter, I am very invested in lenses. But find myself disappointed with the d90’s video capability and lack of manual control.

Now I will be researching Nikon to Canon adapters & 5Dmk2’s.

Can’t wait to see more of your work.
