I usually have a few “find the hummingbird” photos each hummingbird season. I’ve already had a few, and I’ll likely have a few more.
However, today I’m doing something different, and you’ll soon understand why.
That video was shot with the P900. Unfortunately, I forgot to tweak the settings for the video so that the exposure doesn’t change. Meaning, zooming in and out will change the metering and hence how the video looks. Still, you get the picture … er … video.
Note: the videos are probably better watched on YouTube, but regardless of where you watch them, make sure you set the quality to at least 1080p HD. The spoked wheel next to the “YouTube” name (lower right) is where you can set the quality.
Note 2: the regular speed D7500 and Note 20 videos should also offer the choice of 2160p 4K (60fps for the Note 20), and if you choose that, also click on the full screen option. Even if you don’t have a 4K-capable screen, the video is better. BUT . . . be aware those take a few moments longer to stream (lots of data to download).
I’m only kidding about counting the hummingbirds. I try when I’m out there, but all I can tell you is that there are more than fifteen and less than thirty . . . I think.
It’s the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday, they call it. Probably something to do with COVID-19 and how deadly it is. Yup; I’m staying in.
Plus, a slight correction . . . we extended the voting one day to avoid closing the voting round on Black Friday . . . but I probably confused some people by saying Sunday, November 28th. That’s wrong. The 28th is Saturday (tomorrow) and that’s when the voting will close.
If you are a reader of our stories and someone who votes, thank you in advance for casting a vote for your favorite of the three. Links to the stories and the poll for voting for “Alphabet Challenge T-Stories” are HERE(link) Votes will be accepted until noon, Chicago time, on Sunday Saturday, November 28th.
Anyway, today, rather than photos, I want to share links to a few videos. The first one is Fire On The Mountain. You should probably watch this on YouTube, not here, and on as large a screen as you have.
If you are impartial to The Grateful Dead, you should still watch the documentary for the amazing cinematography. If you are a fan of The Grateful Dead, you will definitively want to watch this video.
The “K” stories voting window will close sometime Tuesday (14 days window). You can wait until then, but to be safe and ensure your vote is counted, you should probably vote for your favorite “Alphabet Challenge K-Stories” HERE<<<This Is A Link by the end of tomorrow (Monday).
Clicking on the above link will take you to the post with the poll where you can cast your vote. The post also contains links to the individual stories. After voting, readers can — if so moved — spread the news about the story to friends and family. Or, not. But, we hope for yes.
So . . . Doe and Fawn . . . we’ve had a doe and fan hanging around the yard last week. We saw them a number of times and I was lucky to see them out my office window.
Unfortunately, I’m shooting with them in the shade and through a window and screen. Still, with a little manipulation, the photos are passable.
This post will show two versions of videos; one version captured with the Nikon P900, and the other […]
