    A short hike in Gansbaai

    Some time ago I was in South Africa, testing out (among other things) the Canon 5d MkII. From the test footage I created the video below, titled "A short hike in Gansbaai". It was filmed in and around the beautiful Seastar Lodge guesthouse and the Duiwelsgat Trail, a coastal hiking trail that passes by the guesthouse. Some of the shots might not be perfect, as I couldn't always see the LCD screen on the back of the camera clearly because of the sun, or because I was trying to get some impossible angle of a passing turtle while messing with the focus and exposure at the same time. But I decided to just leave those imperfections for what they were and use the footage anyway.

    The timelapse shot of the sunset at the end is actually created from 999 still images shot with a Nikon D200 with 10.5mm fish eye lens.

    Wow that is really beautiful. If you are ever in Gansbaai again I would really recommend shark diving, it really is awesome fun.
