Learning How to Do Videography

I took Sammi out for a photo and video shoot. I need to practice, because Trek is coming up. (I am responsible for the photography committee.) I have other photographers coming, but our videographer will not be able to make it, which leaves me to figure out the art in just a few weeks! 

I feel fine behind a camera, but taking video is a bit different -- and yet very similar. I ordered a new video camera, which will hopefully be easy to maneuver and handle during the journey. I will have a hiking pack full of camera gear for my Trek experience. 

Sammi and I went to the river to experiment with video (we took a few pics along the way). I really enjoyed it. It was my first attempt, and so I was just messing around, but it became really fun, really fast. I think I have been capturing images all my life; now I am able to capture them and share them with others, and I love that. 

Sammi is always a lovely photography specimen. She is very patient, and does not mind having a camera in her face. 

Here are a few images of my cute Rapunzel... 

Here is my first attempt at videography...

I used my DSLR camera (the same one I use for photography), so it will not be the same thing I use on Trek, but a lot of the concepts are the same. I just wanted to practice some things on site, and post-editing too. The problem is, now I feel like I need more equipment, especially editing programs.

It was really fun to put together!
