Hi,

I'm in St. John's, NL. Shooting using an XL2 with a Red Rock M2 35mm lens adapter, a bunch of Nikon prime lenses and many other gadgets. Always looking for others doing the same thing. If there is anything I can do to help anyone, just let me know.

Nice to digitally meet everyone.

I.m From Prince Rupert, BC lived in BC all my life. best place to live I think

Located in Toronto, but am from all over. Lived recently in Vancouver, Banff, and Montreal when I was younger.

Hi, recently joined, just bought Canon XL2, what a beast, will spend the next few years trying to figure it out and make the best use of it.
I am using this, hopefully, to make short aircraft maintenance training videos, and corporate training videos - boring I know but...., I am Head of Training for the largest helicopter operating company in the world. Living in Vancouver, been in Canada since 89, ex-Brit military.

Hi Stephen, I'm in St. John's, and I'm the last guy that did a video for CHC!!! Say hi to Chris Flanagan for me. Tell him that with global warming, the weather here is better than the weather there now.

The XL2 is perfect for what you want to do, which is what I do.

Don't know what your experience level is with the camera, but my advice is keep it in manual mode all the time and learn to use your exposure and shutter speed to adjust to the situation. A light kit is a must as well. A little bit of light goes a long way. Also, pick up the Canon 3x extra wide zoom. It's the lens I keep on my camera most of the time. The XL2 can change lenses. Take advantage of that.

That's my bit of unsolicited advice.

Enjoy the mountains.
