This is a test shoot using a Canon 60D paired with a 100mm F2.8L macro...starring my dog Memphis. He was a rescue from a shelter.

Edited with iMovie '11. Exported using the "share" menu and the HD 1080p setting.

All of the shots were desaturated, exposure 90%, brightness +20%, contrast +20%.

A few (maybe one) shots were sped up slightly.

Lighting:

One 30 watt 5500 Kelvin Light

Shot at night in my living room with ambient light and the before mentioned light.

Love to see a pup happily waggin' his tail like that; looks like he is one lucky rescue doggie. Very nice imagery, too. I do love that 100 macro! I primarily shoot stills rather than video with my 5DmII but you're inspiring me to get on with it.

i just bought it yesterday, and will be returning tomorrow..
with crop sensor, it seems a bit too close for what I do (weddings).
With 5D, i think it will be a perfect match, but I am returning it tomorrow, and replace with 35-50mm range primes with faster f-stop.
have fun with your lens.

Cute, quirky, creative - love that doggie!

Shows how movies, sometimes, can do so much more than stills.

(A little too much OOF stuff for my taste, but otherwise nice shooting and editing job.)

here is a lens test of the same canon 100 2.8 macro and tamron 70-200 2.8
