First clip from Brazil at DVinfo.net

Hi all, I just returned from a two week eco-trip in Brazil. Here is my first clip of a Hyacinth Macaw in the wild. I used the standard 20x lens and auto white balance. Gain at -3. Bob

Bob,

A lovely bird, if you have access to FCP 6 it maybe worthwhile running the shot through smoothcam as it will iron out the slight movements in the shot.

Six seconds of blue bliss, Bob

Any more please? That's my first glimpse of Hyacinth Macaw, thanks.

Bob, thanks. I edit with Vegas. I was shooting from the back of a truck. Unfortunately it was not practical to use a tripod.

Bob,

Very nice shot, and it is a bird I have never seen, thank you!!!

I think the clip is steady eough to appreciate the bird. A good hand held job for certain!!

In the movies these days they are starting to actually put camera movement into them as dead still doesn't seem normal. Hum, I must have been ahead of my time.
