A short video of Bees working away

He really was having a wash and brush up What a lovely piece of film. I only have vid on my camera and it doesn't do very close up and you can't alter focus when filming... so I'm jealous - I wanted to get the busy bees !

Excellent footage there .
Well done

[digidark]

Thank you.Bought the video camera about 2 years ago,they were selling them off for 130 quid, so decided to take the plunge. Since I joined the site and you all got me interested in Nature photography, everything gets pressed into use.

[Chocky]

Well done.

I have a JVC . not too happy with it but am aiming for a Cannon.

[digidark]

Mine is a jvc.The price sort of made it an impulse buy.If I had been looking for a video camera it would have been between Canon and Panasonic

[Chocky]

I'm aimingh to get a really small camcorder with a card ans well as tape. I can take stills on mine but haven't yet worked out how to make a still into a Jpeg

[digidark]

If your stills are on tape Chocky it can be done but the quality is so low its not really worth the effort.

[Chocky]

I use a fire wire for my camcorder but I don't both with the stills because they still play so to speak and I haven't rally looked into making a Jpeg with a snapshot yet.
I figured the quality wouldn't be up to much.
Mine is a JVC GR-D240EK

This is a frame taken from a camcorder tape. Its a bit iffy dont you think

[Chocky]

Not very. I don't mean a frame from a video It actually takes snap shot stills but even though they are still it says they are playing. But like you say they probably wouldn't be much good

[digidark]

This one is from the snapshot function on the video camera,its a bit elongated but its the way I have the camera set up for movies.I suppose its acceptable its 10 x 8 @ 72 dpi

[Chocky]

It's nice you un-elongate it with CS 2or 3

How did you make it Jpeg Please

[digidark]

Open it in photoshop or which ever graphics prog you choose then "save as" give it a name and from the drop down list, select jpeg.hope that helps Chocky

[Chocky]

Oh. I didn't think of that as when i click on them they come up in Media player and although they are stills they play but don't move .Lol

I'll have a go at that. will have to search them out or may be just take some next time I'm out.
Thanks for that
