This was first of all a test of CineMode. CineMode is supposed to be the way to go for better ease of colorgrading. However, I feel that using CineMode makes my footage look extremely dull - even after colorgrading. It might just be me, but I find that CineMode makes it harder to focus with a 35mm adapter as well - probably due to the lack of contrast. I had to add a lot of contrast before I was happy with the result.

'Udsigten' is Danish for 'The View'. It's the second highest spot on the island of Fyn where I live. At 129 meters or 423 feet, it's just 2 meters or 7 feet behind the leading hill :) Udsigten is located in Vissenbjerg. A small town on central Fyn.

The view from 'The View' is pretty nice. You can see quite far.

The music is by an American folk band named Trapezoid who live - and write music about - the western part of Virginia. I heard them live at the high school in Warrenton, Virginia way back in early 1994. The concert was part of a protest against Disney who at the time were planning a new Disneyland near Manassas, Virginia. The rural beauty and themes of the music fit the landscape a lot, I think. The mentality of the rural Virginians' match that of these rural Danes :) It's all about living with nature and being free.
