surf video with 1.150 mm · September 24th, 2009, 02:17 AM

Hi, I tested some things in this video.
I used the 400 mm 5.6 with 2 extenders. 2.0X and 1.4X from canon. So I got 1.150mm
I used twixtor for slow effect.
YouTube - Campeonato de España de SURF. Caravia Surf Festival 09 Video
Best in HD
Manual shooting, Lowest apperture is 11f and speed is 60.
Enjoy it.

Very interesting.
I loved the shot of the duck's feet and the lighting on the feathers look great too.
There were not too many artifacts in all that surf. The playback was a bit jerky though ;-) Seriously, the slo-mo worked well and had a nice photographic quality about it.
A monster of a rig but it certainly does the job.

What tripod are you shooting on? That footage looks rock steady...at that focal lenght I would expect even the tiniest puff of wind to shake the image all over the place!

I really like the look of the twixtor'd slow motion - it's doesn't look 100% natural but has a very unique style to it. I'm going to have to give that a try...

The tripod is an old Manfrotto. With a video head, but I need one stronger. I suffer a lot about trepidation.
Of course you must click Record button 2 seconds before to have the camera stabilized. Wind must be low.

Jaime:

Beaitiful shooting.

I double doubled a 400mm for 1600mm once, and actually it didn't do so bad. Problem I have seen with the long lenses is that dust and lint on imagers become highly pronounced. Have you noticed that in your testing?

Jaime Fernandez · September 26th, 2009, 04:58 AM

Yes, is true. Sensor must be very clean to play this game.
I had a lot of dirt in the image.
