Thanks buddy, although I'm a little down because the vimeo really compressed it :(

Can't wait to see yours :D

Thank you :D
Starting to edit the AirShow now :)

:D Thanks! it happens at the end of July. Should definitely come visit :D Can't wait :)

still planning on visiting this summer?

Thanks!

Actually every shot was 30p and nothing else. As well all shots were done in Fireworks mode. The difference that I'm seeing is because of the wide angle lens I used. It was a Standard Definition lens and seemed to cut out a lot of light. The shots in there where you see a rich black background is without the wide angle. Again same mode Fireworks.

But you're right. Having a shutter speed of about 1/100 is crazy, thats why I didn't use it :P

As for the grain, it seemed to have gotten worse when I uploaded it to Vimeo. It seems they've added more compression to their converting. :(

yeah, i've never actually used fireworks mode, i usually just use manual TV mode. Maybe i'll try it. Do you know what it is, 'cause in the video the shutter speed looked like it was pretty high (which is weird... it probably isn't very high)

AH! you know what. I realize now that the Fireworks mode has an auto shutter speed, I thought it would open the aperture up less than the speed of the shutter. But in fact it could be the other way around, I'm looking into what it really is. Because the grain that I got with this really really bothers me. :(

But what really turns this upside down on me is that when I took the wide angle off, I never changed any settings. And that footage came out sharp and perfect. And looking at the left over footage I have, the shots without the lens look fine even with low light.

hmmm.... that is strange, if you ever figure out what fireworks mode actually is, send me a message.

Thanks so much! :D
Made me feel warm and fuzzy

Thanks Linda :D
