The roads were very icy and the slow speeds help to create a really smooth video. I also used still frames for time-lapse with 2 and 5 second settings. All footage was shot with the GoPro Hero 2.

I gave the members of my group a pair of microspikes each and we headed to the icy waterfall.

These two test shots were made at the location where I bought the lens.  My camera – Canon 5D2 mounted on a tripod.  Setting – f/4 iso 800 for both lenses.  Both images have very little processing in terms of sharpening. No noise reduction has been applied.

A tour enquiry packed with details and requests. Something made me suspicious, not sure what it was, maybe the pushy nature of the message. Anyway, I googled his email address:

After many hours of effort I upload them to youtube and then decide that they are extremely boring.
