EX-1 Rainforest Clip

[davidcheok]

Recently went into the rainforest with the EX1 and Letus + EF180mm L combo.
I had to set the 180L to f8 to try maximise the DOF and this is where the limitations of the LEX appears and I believe where the Ultimate would be advantageous albeit a $4.5k advantage.
Comments and critiques appreciated.

Man, the rainforest is stunning.
The macro stuff really looked good.

Thanks. I've uploaded another one with different footage. A more complete one. Somehow, overall, I think I still prefer to shoot with the EX1 naked. The DOF is already pretty shallow and somehow the overall picture quality seems cleaner. Shooting with the LEX and 180 combo was pretty hard. Every little bit of moment was amplified big time and focusing was pretty awkward with the lens so far forward and other controls of the EX1 so far back. I guess I just have to get used to it.

I liked it. even if there are some cuts that don't work for me((the ones in the cabin) the rest looked great.

BTW how is the song called?

Think this one will be more your liking.. http://exposureroom.com/members/DavidCheok.aspx/assets/a953cb52e7694d2484692a157256bba0/

The song for the previous one was by Johann Pachebel. Think its Sanctus II.
