Appalachian Spring
 

My tribute to spring here in the southern part of the Appalachian mountains. Shot with a Panasonic HPX170 and edited with Edius 5.51.

Well Mark, what a wonderful surprise. Got home last night and watched this twice. Watched it again this morning. I think this was one of your best videos. The shots of the waterfalls made the water look like lace. The music was wonderful and the editing perfect. I showed it to my wife and said to her "that is the kind of video I would love to shoot". Maybe someday I will run into you somewhere in the north Georgia mountain. Take care and again, an excellent video. Bob

Wot, no banjos ?
Seriously, very nice. Makes me want to get out with my recently acquired EX3 and get shooting with the stock lens instead of always long telephotos pointed at bird-life.

Liked all the wildflowers. I share that anglo-saxon habit of always wanting to know names and life-histories. Best sometimes just to appreciate.

Thanks. Worked hard on this one along with being in the right place at the right time.

Mark quick question did you use zebra striping on your exposure settings and if so at what percentage? I just keep watching it. Bob.

Re: Appalachian Spring
 

Bob, I use 100% zebras and adjust aperture to when the zebra just barely begins to show. On white water scenes I open up some. Also, some scenes were adjusted in post using "curves".

Just awesome work Mark!

Mark, hope all is going well. Thank you for the information on zebras. I just got back from a short trip to Savannah and tried them there. Beautiful results, thank you so much for the information. Bob
