Video and Vimeo
My interest at vimeo stems from an increasing interest in videography and cinematography. Photography is also great, but once viewed and stared at for 5-10 seconds, they ultimately end up in one's electronic shoebox perhaps never to be viewed again. Video, expands imagery to new dimensions by adding the dimensions of motion and sound to imagery. You might captivate an viewing audience's attention for a minute or two. If one becomes good enough, it is possible to captivate an audience's viewing and attention 2-3 hours or more. (Avatar... Lord of the Rings... Star Wars series) Videography levels the playing field for the creativity in one's self to be the producer or director you might wish to become.

    Jerry Suppan commented on Dubai to Thailand

    Dubai in particular caught my attention. Yes, it seems very modernistic, high class, and luxurious. Having never been there it seems to be an attractive place to visit. But, is it safe, being the middle east? Is a major concern. What are costs for accommodations, general tourist stuff?

    Love my brand new Sony Alpha 65. Just shot some fall foliage today in Shinjuku, Tokyo which I will post to Facebook and Picasa soon. Also took some AVCHD video footage too. Simple stuff, like ducks leisurely swimming in a pond in sunlight reflection. I generally post to YouTube but will post that content here.

    Great video and the fact it was all done just with the new iPHone 4S?! I am looking forward to getting my own UNlockerd iPhone 4S from the U.S. through a friend around mid-December. (live in Japan). To think that 1080p video can be taken with just the iPhone4S is awesome! I do have the Sony Alpha 65 when I wish to go more 'pro', but this is good. I only wish it was standard speed so that I can enjoy the sites and sounds of each place, especially Dubai, never having been there.

    Jerry Suppan commented on Sony A77 Movie Test

    Right. Main differences are: magnesium body versus standard, 12 fps sequential shooting 10 fps. (I can easily live with that). LCD on top plate versus none (I don't need that). Perhaps some other cosmetic differences that don't immediately come to mind, but, I think I can be happy with the A65. Besides, it will be somewhat smaller and lighter. :-)

    I noticed the subtle noise factor as well during autofocus. Beautiful video capability of the A77 nonetheless.

    I am considering to get the Alpha A65 as a more cost effective way of acquiring pretty much the same technology. Was originally thinking of the NEX-7, but then, the price is way up there, and the NEX E-mount lens choices are fewer then the Alpha A-mount lenses.

    Amazing! Good work! Then, you should give yourself credit at the end Video productions by Ottofilms, but I did not notice your credit.
