Music Video on the Canon 5D Mark II

Check out this music video of James Tealy, a singer/songwriter out of Nashville who happens to be a wonderful friend and mentor. All of the footage from this video was shot with the new Canon 5D Mark II. Amazing! I can't wait for Nikon to upgrade the D700 to a camera with HD video because I will be trading one of mine in the day they come out! Make sure you check out James at www.jamestealy.com.

Guitars

Just thought I'd show you a couple of other photos from the concert the other night. I was a music major in college and have been leading worship in some form or another for 11 years now. After shooting that concert and looking through the photos, I have learned that one of the things I am going to look for to start shooting is guitars. So here are the first three photos in my "guitar gallery". Surely there will be more to come!

Concert

A couple of weekends ago, Bike Week was held in Leesburg. On Saturday night there was a concert with some local bands at FBC Leesburg. I went to hear some friends play and was surprised to get to hear the youth band. Two of them were in my youth group while I was there and both took my beginner guitar class. It was fun to hear them and they've actually become very good musicians. Here's a picture I took of their lead guy, Tom, during his Star Spangled Banner solo they started the show with.



I mounted an sb800 high and to camera left on the scaffolding and used a Justin Clamp to mount another to the monitor at his feet. Both were fired wirelessly with the SU800 attached to my hot shoe.
