A summer flair of hot air

During January’s dark winter days, summer isn’t more than a distant memory. But looking through photos from 2011 I found this really nice summer moment from August.

Hot air balloons were taking off from Gärdet and the late summer sun was slowly setting. I abruptly left the dinner table, grabbed my gear and ran out. With the camera mounted on a tripod I shot about 1200 photos from two different locations.

Video har just kommit till DSLR-världen

Är man så pass intresserad av digitala systemkameror att man bevakar nya releaser, hänger på forum och läser bloggar dagarna i ände så är det här ingen ny nyhet. Men dock en intressant nyhet.

BÃ¥de Nikon och Canon lanserar DSLR:er med möjlighet till HD videoinspelning! Nikon pÃ¥ sin “prosumer” D90 (720p) och Canon pÃ¥ den mer professionella EOS 5D MKII (1080p).

Det är klart att de här första versionerna kommer ha sina begränsningar, men tänk vilka möjligheter man fÃ¥r när man nu kan spela in video med alla de objektiv man normalt fotograferar med. Vidvinkel, zoom, macro m.m. Jag gissar att videofilmerna pÃ¥ YouTube snart kommer börja se annorlunda ut… 🙂

Tillsvidare finns dessa första filmer att titta på. Reveire ser otroligt vacker ut!
