Exploring Brasstown Falls - GH6

I first visited the waterfalls along Brasstown Creek in South Carolina 10 years ago. I recently revisited there now that the trail has been improved. The area is interesting not only for the waterfalls along it course but for the abundant flora and fauna. I shot this on my new Panasonic GH 6 camera along with the Pany 12-60mm, Oly 60mm macro and 75-300mm lenses.

Very nice Mark. I really like the color saturation and use of shallow DoF. And the slow-shutter effects are perfectly executed. Beautiful.

What a joy to see all that pure water. And those flowers. Magnificent. We are in a major drought and our mountain spring woods have been locked down because of fire danger. It was a delight to be able to see yours. Thanks.

Yes, 10-bit, 422, Long-GOP 150Mbps. Slow motion done with variable frame 10-bit, 420 Long-GOP 150Mbps setting. Both are very efficient codecs.

Mark, another excellent video. You are the master of waterfalls. Your color is so vivid and realistic. I enjoy the way you include clips of birds, flowers and insects to enhance your lovely waterfalls. And, you have truly mastered the art of using depth of field. Wonderful to watch. Bob

Hi Mark, another great film. You have the knack to of being able to edit clips into a film in a way that is so relaxing and absorbs the viewer into the film. We done.

Are you still editing with Edius?

Re: Exploring Brasstown Falls - GH6

Great video Mark. I like the music track and your syncing the shots. With the water fx, that ties it all together.

I especially like at 3.06-3.16 the Woodchuck moving to the music, it’s like the music was scored to the picture.
Cheers.

Yep it’s a small world Mark, and you’re in famous company because Steven Spielberg edited the Star Wars footage to John Williams magnificent theme.
Cheers.
