Canon XA10 Shots Around Discovery Bay, Hong Kong

As promised, here’s a short video taken around Discovery Bay, Hong Kong (which is where I live).

I used a tripod for the shoot but didn’t turn off the Image Stabiliser (IS), which was a mistake as you then get drift in the image as the IS adjusts itself. This significantly reduced the useable footage when I came to edit (using iMovie) so either 1] remember to switch the IS off when using a tripod, or 2] run your shots for longer than usual (you’ll probably need at least 10 seconds worth for the drift to finally subside).

Apart from the occasional shot, I left the camera on Auto for most of the shots and set it to Filter 2 (Dynamic) as it really helps to bring out the colours.

The video is also available on Vimeo at:  http://vimeo.com/36666556   but I obviously haven’t figured out the best upload settings yet as it’s not as sharp as some other footage I’ve seen on Vimeo but it’s fine when I watch it on my computer.
