Default Getting the Shot

First, you buy all this crap. Not all at once of course, it's good to wait a week between purchases. Then, you spend a ridiculous amount of time learning how to use it which takes,, forever and a day. Once you have the photography piece sorted out - which you never really do, you flip the switch on your camera to video and start all over again. Only video is 1 billion times more complicated than photography when you don't even understand the language and we won't even discuss the editing process.

Anyway, here's a couple stills from this morning and a short four minute video. The stills were the R5 on the left, and the video was the R7 on the right. The video was captured in 4K Fine @ 30 fps. I slowed the video footage down 20% to smooth things out just a bit. I like the effect.

Oh. And you need an active nest.

Hey wait.

You have an eagles nest in your backyard?

That's cheating.

Buying photography equipment is like doing a frame off restoration on a Corvette, you find yourself too deep into the process to stop and the only way out is to keep spending money.
