It is comforting to see even Nalle gets shut down once in a while

[Jaspersharpe]

Not really. He made everything look about 2A until he fucked his ankle up! Great film.

Did this yesterday (rather than Mont Blanc ) and in trying to find out what it was found this cool vid:



Medonnet is a really nice spot near Sallanches (down valley from Chamonix). Reminicent of Font, but granite. Not loads there, but worth a visit...

so it was your chalk plastered all over the boulders today , did you do the traverse cause there was no chalk along the lip,

I did this today in the rain, such a cool line, I didnt do the traverse left as it was a bit wet

[T_B]

No, didn't do the traverse bit. Didn't have a topo, just a vague description of how to get there off UKC. Yes, lots of chalk required - v humid.

[Fiend]

2011 Castle Hill - are there infinite grey boulders?

Always a pleasure to see.

[SA Chris]

Word. Not enough mullets around either.

Dont know if this is quality, as I cant seem to use my new DSLR properly, any help would be great, but a bit of july in the forest

[SA Chris]

Quality looks OK to me most of the time Neil. Focus is maybe not pin sharp on that respect d'intentions (?) prob and some times you look to be struggling with really contrasty lighting, but that's always going to be tricky to deal with.

[neil h]

Thanks, respect was the first problem I filmed with it and yes I agree, it's so hard to get the light right especially in the forest, I have been watching a lot of tutorials, and Paul has been a great help with the settings, finally getting some good footage out, I am struggling with over exposing when I follow people

I get that.

I quite liked the moody contrasty look - I think this (greater depth of colours?) is what makes DSLR video stand out from sometimes flat looking regular footage... Some shots looked a bit bleached out but thats hard when everything gets a bit grey with the Font rock/sand etc..

A couple of the shots did look out of focus - though two ideas here.... firstly, if you had less depth of field it would not be so obvious (as everything in these shots was kind of in focus) so the area of interest would be sharp(er) and thus highlighted compared to the rest of the shot.. second, on my SLR it can be a bastard to get the focus right for vid, so if its a static shot I use the AF in photo mode to get the focus then flick the tab over to manual focus etc. and dont touch the lens.

For focussing and exposure I have a white tea towel with a check pattern made of fine blue lines. I drape the tea towel over the top out (usually where the light is brightest) or use my brush-on-a-stick to hold it against the rock. If I can get the towel to look OK then skin (and chalked skin) usually look OK. It's hard to compensate for bald head glare.

A lot of the time I can't seem to get it right, so just knock the exposure down "a bit" and correct gamma/brightness/contrast/colour on the computer

Have you got zebra stripes on your camera? That helps me loads.

[chriss]

Probably been on before, but was flicking about on line....

[Footwork]

The Fly, looks nails. What a great line too!

[grimer]

Is that the one Paul Robinson does in Progression?

[Ethan]

Yeah thats the one, Sky 8B+

[fatneck]

Really enjoyed these two...
