Hi

I thought I would create this post, showcasing the capabilities of DSLR's when they are clicked into 'video' mode. I have a Canon 60d, very basic, very powerful! I find myself doing far more timelapsing and filming with it rather than taking pictures … pure and simply - because of the adjustable/tilting LCD monitor on it! When filming or timelapsing, you can get into the most awkward position to capture that composition you are after - without having to lie on the ground looking at the monitor, all you do is flip and tilt the monitor back at you! Incredibly functional. And coupled with a good lens, the footage can be SO sharp!

I wanted to share my most recent project; a short video of a mountain bike event down in Kinlochleven - north of Glen Coe, south of Fort William (I noticed there were some mountain bikers from Caithness at the event! I never got a chance to hunt them down to get 'e craic' with …. too busy filming !). The edit is getting well received within the online mountain bike community which i find very humbling!

And here is a video I did a few weeks ago of surfing in Thurso (it got spied and featured in one of the top online surf sites Carvemag.com and i have since had people from all around the world email to tell me they never realised the waves on offer in Thurso! Im 100% for showcasing the Highlands):
