We have a family of Great Spotted woodpeckers feed from our peanut feeder every day.

Great video. You've set me a challenge...

I'm a great believer in the spotlight mode and find it a very intelligent program on my Sony cams. It'll go from zero to -5 stops, a most impressive range. When you've no idea what the stage lighting director is going to do next, it's a lifeline.

Backlight mode is dumb stupidity next to it.

Thanks for the comments. The video was fun to do. I took the DVD to school today to show some students the bird. They also seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks John,
Yes, I too didn't like the footage coming from my A1 until I realized that taking time to set the camera adjustments properly, shooting with sufficient light and doing some nice color grading all adds to super footage! Can't wait to see your shots!

Just a quick thanks to all my new friends here at DVInfo, your gudieance, criticisms and wonderful examples for videography have inspired and push me to get better with my gear and have a better eye, so for that I'm thankful to Chris and this wonderful resource!

So here is a little Holiday Greeting we shot for a local marketing company!

Happy Holidays to you all!

It still amazes me that despite my understanding of aerodynamics etc that those monsters get off the ground.
I found it interesting to see the mini tornado thingies forming around the intakes of the jets on power-up.
Looks good.

I couldn't help but notice the 'Keep New Zealand Beautiful' T-shirt.
Classic.

Yeah, the guy on the left spent 6 months there and brought it as a souvenir.

Very well done. From concept to finished video, all aspects that went into making this show in the final results, nice!
