TSB Video: Twenty One Pictures with the Nikon D90 - The first four months

April 10th, 2009

I bought my Nikon D90 in early December. I wanted to use iMovie09 to create a slide show sharing twenty one of my favorite shots since getting this camera. I hope you enjoy it as much as I’m enjoying my new camera and my new love of photography.

I published this in a smaller size since many of you had said you had trouble downloading the past videos to your devices. If you want to see the video in a higher quality to to my Flickr page

TSBV02: Shooting video indoors with the Nikon D90

March 28th, 2009

I wanted to try out my Nikon D90 video feature. I’ve only used it one other time and I had some time to kill. This video was shot in my house with all natural lighting except I did use a LightPanel Micro. I then put it into iMovie09 and did it all in about an hour. This is play time for me, and how I learn more. Enjoy it.
