Movie maker

Home again and getting jobs done one by one. Downloaded my video and this is one frame when John was speaking at the Motorbike Event. I have got more particular about focus and composition now with 365 and am disappointed in my movies which appear not clear and sharp. You don't have setting options with this movie camera - it just takes the video when you press the button.

Three good things;
1. Almost unpacked.
2. Now able to type on a keyboard.
3. Have both pink and yellow rhododendrons out.
Nice capture of that video grab. I've noticed that stills taken from video is never as clear as a capture from a decent camera

Cool shot

He looks so happy! And the gentleman in the back is very interested and supporting of John! What a thrilling time you must have had!
August 12th, 2013  
Great shot
August 12th, 2013  
@smellychelli nice of you to pick up on that! The guy at the back was the head man there and was running the show!
August 12th, 2013  
Welcome home. Sounds like you had a fabulous time.
August 12th, 2013

Welcome home... Great capture of a special moment
August 12th, 2013  
Oh to be back home and having everything staring at you in the face. Reality is not always fun.
August 12th, 2013  
Looks great to me!! Welcome home!
August 12th, 2013  
John looks confident & in charge of the proceedings, not an easy thing public speaking...he must have been apprehensive how it would go!
August 12th, 2013  
It sounds like you had a wonderful time, and videos.....I stay away from them for now!!
August 12th, 2013  
Excellent capture of the moment. He looks very poised to be speaking in front of a group with the head man standing by.
August 12th, 2013  
what a cool job
August 12th, 2013  
I know it is difficult to accept, however this particular shot is about sharing a special moment for you and is not about it being a competition quality picture. Thanks for sharing this with us!

@happypat actually, Pat, John loves to talk about his father - he is a very good and natural public speaker! Not so me!
August 12th, 2013  
@genesis_one Well said, Corrie - thanks!
August 12th, 2013  
You can see that John is enjoying himself - and the other man's expression shows that he is enjoying John's speech and I bet everyone else there did too. You've got the feeling of the moment here - well caught.
August 12th, 2013  
It must be such a thrill for him to talk about his Dad with people who have such a love for the same thing. I'm sure you were so happy for him. I think it's a fabulous shot, Maggiemae.
August 12th, 2013  
very nice capture. 365 taught us a lot of stuff we never dreamed of.
August 12th, 2013  
I think it is a great shot of him. But I know what you mean about becoming more particular about what and how you shoot. Too bad the world doesn't cooperate with us.

@cdonohoue Thanks Cathy! I do think my movie camera is way out of date! The modern and expensive cameras can do a far better job!
August 13th, 2013  
@yonnie Exactly - I was proud of the way he can speak with humour and really, cheek!

John looks like a natural! I enjoyed your photos from your trip very much!
August 13th, 2013  
at first i thought he was singing.
August 13th, 2013  
Welcome home. It must be interesting to make the movie editing.
August 13th, 2013  
I hope it is nice to be home.
August 13th, 2013  
@witchyjacq thanks, Jacqui - we miss the excitement and the new adventures but life can't always be like that and our home is lovely!
August 13th, 2013  
great capture!
August 13th, 2013  
Awesome moment for you both. Very exciting!
August 14th, 2013  
Great lighting in this shot, The rhododendrons sound lovely.
August 15th, 2013  
There's no place like home! Glad you had a great vacation though. I get frustrated with how to take video with my DSLR too! I am not sure how the focus works...not sure if it will autofocus or if I have to manual focus.
