First time ever using a 7D for video work, first attempt at 'proper' editing in FCP. Want to do some Color adjusting (grading) but the Color interface was a bit daunting last night - think I'll read some more and revisit it.

This was shot this week in two sessions of about 3 hours each on Tuesday and Wednesday, edited during Thursday and uploaded late Thursday night, so a relatively short time frame.

As a professional environmental photographer I am interested in the ways that people affect their environment, but I am also hugely interested in the ways that the envirnonment affects people. My long-term aim with this project is to add some narrative by recording comments from visitors to the well and perhaps also some backstory material as to how they found and use the well water - this will be once I master the whole sound thing to a professional standard!

No fancy kit, just a 7D, a few Canon f2.8 lenses - 17-35, 100mm macro, 70-200IS, but mostly using the 24-70. Small slider on top of Gitzo carbon legs.

Could not figure out the embed link, but it is now fixed! It was simpler than I thought!
