Here's a sample of a cool Egret Chillin and Cleaning him/herself at Sunset.

Like I said, this HV10 is some fun stuff!

I know the colors are a little off, but it was getting dark in the woods as the sun was setting fast. However, I love the scene and that's all that matters to me! This is my favorite shot so far.

The camera is amazing.....I think it is by far the best home camera I have ever owned.

Brad really nice shot. Upon playback I noticed what appeared to be some minor purple fringing down the sides of the two closest pine trees. Did you see this in the original or is this a product of compression for the web?

Regards,

Thanks guys! Yeah this camera is nothing short of amazing.

The color issues are from time of day, compression, and editing. I graded it somewhat to bring out the Yellow Orange Sunset Colors in the Sky. It was starting to get dark and we were deep in the woods so the camera was reaching for light anyway it coud get it. The color issues are present in the raw footage, but not as pronounced. The grading really had an affect on the shadows/outlines in the video.

I am truly amazed out how nice the footage still looks after being comressed from the original 103mb footprint! 103mb to 25.5 mb and it still holds up well.

Amazing, simply amazing stuff and in the palm of our hands no less!

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to have people actually take the time to reply.

Anyway, glad you guys liked the clip!

Looks mighty fine to me. How far away were you from the egret? Near maximum zoom? And, hand held or mechanically supported?

Thanks for the clip.
