Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
Photography & Videography Techniques and EquipmentThis forum is for the discussion of technical and practical details of how to take good pictures and videos, as well as discuss the equipment used in that pursuit.
Took the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera out to St. George Island a couple of weeks ago to try out the 4K video capability and snap a few still photos as well. Wish I had brought a monopod, because my hands aren't as steady as they used to be, and it shows using the longer focal lengths. But still, didn't turn out too badly, and YouTube's processing helped remove some of the shakiness as well.
Looks like bird life is bouncing back pretty well, but still not what it used to be before the BP oil dump in the Gulf.
Still not seeing the coquinas like we used to, so I'm guessing the lower links of the food chain got hit the hardest and that just percolated upwards affecting everything else. But thankfully, it does seem to be on the mend. The water appears clearer, and don't have the "off" smell I've noticed most of the times going there. I think sometime soon I may even be able to talk myself into swimming there. Haven't done that since the oil well problem. At least not up here closer to where the actual problem took place. Sanibel didn't seen to get any affects at all from that junk.
I really like the increased detail in video taken in 4K. Thought the limit of 30fps would be a problem, but so far just not seeing it as being an issue. One interesting thing about this camera is that the focal range of the lens changes when you shoot in 4K video. Instead of 25 to 400mm optical that you have shooting still photos, the 4K mode (which you have to specifically select via the knob on top of the camera) switches to 37 to 592mm. Then interestingly enough, a digital zoom becomes available pushing that further to 2368mm at the top end. Seems kind of odd to me that the digital zoom isn't available for still photos. Or at least I haven't found the option to enable it.
I have been processing the 4K video through Cyberlink's PowerDirector 14 since the Sony Vegas Pro I have won't handle it. I have an older version of Vegas Pro, and can't update it to a newer version because they dropped support for Windows Vista.
But PowerDirector seems to do a decent job, so that will have to do, I guess.
