Spotted and Spotless Crake link on Vimeo. Resolution is 1080 and shot with a Sony Z150 in HD. Original uses 100mgs per second. However, this copy is much more web friendly...
All settings were manual, frame rate 50 per second, shutter speed 1/50 second, one step of neutral density applied with a resulting reduction of light of one quarter, with gain set to zero. Camera was hand held with a low stablisation setting- not the "active" one.

Someone has said to me that the video looks rather blurred. This depends on how large an image you want to look at, and how long you are willing to wait for the broadband to weave its magic..
If you click on the "HD" sign at the bottom right of the Vimeo page, it will offer you various image resolutions for you to choose from. 720 isn't a bad place to start. If you have dazzling internet speeds and are particularly interested in the clip, in this instance 1080 will be sharper than any still image you can see in the library. They are all 1400 pixels, not 1920 pixels.
If you want sharpness and don't want to hang around waiting, you can use the "download" button and watch the clip later.
I hope you like what you see.
