Yesterday saw a trip to Newport Velodrome to shoot more footage for Böikzmöind. Footage was shot using the Canon 550D with the 18 - 55mm kit lens, 50mm prime and a Tamron 70 - 300mm zoom lens. Also used for a few shots was of the SD range’s of track from glidetrack.co.uk.
We were super happy with the results that the Glidetrack gave us, and can’t wait to get stuck in to use it again!

Shot on the Canon 550D, hot and sunny weather calls for a BBQ, so that’s exactly what we did!

The first content I can share from the recently acquired Canon 550D. Shot with a Canon 50mm Prime and tweaked in Aperture. Video will be coming soon! Click the photo to be taken to Michaela’s blog, it’s a damn good read!
Whilst this picture represents the arrival of my new Canon 550D, it also represents the last photo I shall take with my first DSLR, my Nikon D40. It’s been a short ride with the Nikon, but the growing advances in video DSLR’s was a call I couldn’t ignore, and after much fretting over whether to go for the 550D or the mighty 7D, I decided to side with the former. I’ve only had a night with the Canon so far, and have shot a few bits and pieces in the house, and while I’m not going to posting those shots online, I already love filming with it, and can’t wait to see what I can get out of it in the coming days. Expect a vimeo upload soon!!

The Story Beyond the Still Canon video contest rolls forward with the winning entry for part two by Josh Thacker. Josh did an amazing job of continuing the story after Vincent Laforet’s opening offering, the deadline for part 3 submissions is March 22nd.
We’re heading back to sunny Leicester for a week toady, part holiday, part looking after my Mum’s house while she is actually on Holiday. I’ve got a few films that I plan on shooting and editing while I’m back, and so it’s necessary of course to pack some kit for such a task. This is what I shall be taking with me.
- 15” MacBook Pro
- JVC Everio HD5
- JAG35E DOF adapter
- Canon 50mm f1.8 Lens
- Hoodman HD300 LCD screen cover
- Nikon D40 DSLR
- Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens
- WD external HD 250GB
- WD external HD 320GB
- Audio Technica ATR25 Stereo Shotgun Mic (Yoga EM288 pictured)
- Velbon DV-7000 Tripod
I’m hoping to get a nice mix of projects while I’m away, providing the weather holds out, which knowing Leicestershire, it won’t. I’m planning on editing each piece the day it’s shot where possible, so I will post the finished results here.
