Vincent has done it again. Get ready to have your socks blown off – Ive included links for both his smug mug video page as well as his write up on his blog. He shot this with the Canon 1D Mark IV, and get this….no artificial light was used (it was all ambient / available light) (!!)
Vincent Laforet’s Nocturne on Smug Mug (in HD too!)
Vincent Laforet’s Blog Article about shooting “Nocturne” with the Canon 1D IV
This is Vincent and I at the Atlanta workshop a couple weeks ago- It was a great workshop and I feel so lucky I had the chance to go. I wonder if he will be doing any more. Vincent was very personable, and down to earth, and his blog is one of the very few that I regularly check because he is really on the cutting edge of making Canon’s SLR video cameras sing. Lots of great tips and insights if you are shooting video with an SLR.
Wow, you are going to have quite the collection of pictures in one year of just all the people you have met…not to mention all the famous individuals at your workshops:)
Michael, what’s your opinion on this new APS-H size sensor? It seems to me surprising that they would put a sensor smaller than full in such a high end camera.
I agree, its very curious. However, the sensor has some new technology built into it, this is probably a huge factor on how it can shoot ISO 102,400, so I am not ready to discount it just because its a 1.3x size, which is a good thing if you are shooting sports. Like the 7D, it also has 2 processors. To me the 1d IV has 2 main customers: 1. Professional Sport shooters 2. Movie makers. Word on the street is this new sensor size will be in the new 60D (also rumored to be released in Feb, not December). While Im tempted to play with it, I dont think Ill be purchasing or doing a DVD on the 1d mark iv.
Just tried to watch the Nocturne video on Vincent’s Smug mug link, and it looks like it is removed for now. Website says per Canon’s request. Bummer.
