Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Hey after last nights sit and me filming for Ben, Ben took up the camera tonight for his first cameraman duties. All in all I say he did very well.

VIDEO FOOTAGE/CLICK ME:

We say 7 doe/fawns and 12 sightings total. Deer showed early and hung around most of the evening. Ben got to see my honey hole and hear all the stories from that set over the food plot.

Some pic's we took with the GL2

The first of the sundown scenery.




Beautiful Oaks



Ben caught me glassing the does down the field.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

;)I have to admit, the geese at Sunset were Rob.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Do you guys have enough footage yet for a bloopers segment....Now THAT would be something to see.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

No bloopers yet, but I am sure there will be by the end of the season. Heading for bed.Dreaming of tomorrow's sit in the "Walnut Stand."

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Awesome job Ben!! Very nice footage, and some killer pics, thnx for sharing Rob

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Cool vid. I like the pictures.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Great pics guys. Awesome footage, great looking spot Rob.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Tonight we're headed to one of Ben's spots, he refers to it as the "walnut tree", funny cause that is what it is. LOL

I really like this spot so we'll see what we see.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Like a bull sees red, I hope we see white.:)

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Ben who is that UGLY SOB your filming?[:'(] You would think you could find a better subject. LOL

Hey with you filming maybe we can see him take a "Rob Buck" On film. LOL

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Hey Rob ... is that the tree your gonna put me in? ;)

I really like that camo ....... I can feel the bank account getting lighter ...:D

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Nice camo;)

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

You can barely see those deer once they get into that tall stuff in the field!

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Good job Ben. Nice framing and steady pans. Good luck hunting the walnut tree tonight.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

A couple of questions: Do you use the autofocus feature or manual? What video editing software do you use?

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

I tried to get him to keep his leafy mask on.[8D] I would love to be able to film Rob taking more than a "Rob Buck," he certainly deserves it.


Ya when they got out into the higher stuff it was really tough. Rob pointed out and I agreed that it really makes you depend on good binos.

Thanks, I have to hand it to Rob for the editing, I did have a few wobbles in there for sure. Also, thanks for the luck. This is a sit that I have been waiting for. Rob actually helped me hang these stands, so it's fitting that he gets in on the (hopefully) action tonight.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Auto and ..... the master will have to take the second question.;) I's just a big dumb animal in a tree with a camera. I know how to turn it on and how to zoom. Maybe next week I will get the 200 level class.;)

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

Finally watched the footage this morning. Looks great, Ben. Looking forward to tonight's sit from you guys. I have a feeling you guys are going to get a shot down on video this year.

RE: Days Events, 10-07-08 Ben's First Camera duties
 

That could happen!

And Andy's (Diesel77's) Ultimate Camo is sweet. When your with someone that has it on, it's amazing.

Damn nice!

I really need to pay attention at that end. A deer can appear out of no where in that field.

The owner likes to mow it, he hunts on the ground with a rifle, I tell him to leave it alone during archery season. The deer love the cover.

For Ben I left it on auto focus plus any shot we were to have would have been in the field. I use both depending on foliage.

The editing software is just a cheap "Movie Maker" software that came on my new laptop with Vista. If I get all the right footage I'm going to upgrade to all the bells and whistles but right now, this little program does a great job.

Thanks Matt and good luck to you as well. Sounds like your in the animals. Tonight it's Ben in front of the camera and I've taken game on film before, if we were to only get one, I'm hoping to get Ben taking whatever. He better hurry though, as the rut nears, I'll be on a mission. ;)
