A short video featuring geese in flight.

Some video of geese in flight shot on my Pixel 8 Pro. The cameras continue to amaze me. Being able to point and shoot with this quality is a treat.

I used a ShiftCam Pro Grip to help steady the phone. It’s a nice bit of gear that I picked up this year. If you are not familiar with this phone grip I would suggest checking them out https://shiftcam.com

The Pro Grip is great for controlling my phone with one hand. It has a hand strap that is well padded. The Pro Grip lets me focus on my subject instead of worrying about dropping my phone. It reminds me of the grip I had for my Sunshine Yellow Lumia 1020.

While the ShiftCam seems to be geared more towards the iPhone it does work with Android devices.

All of the videos were edited in Final Cut Pro for iPad. I used standard titles and the Cross Dissolve transition between each video.The music in the background is from FCP while all of the honker noises were captured with the 8 Pro.

I’m still learning how to use the app but believe that I am getting better with each video.

Thanks for watching.

A short video at the walking bridge.

This video was shot with my Pixel 8 Pro and edited with Final Cut Pro for iPad.

Most of the videos were enhanced with the Pixel’s Video Boost feature.

The videos are a combination of Night Site Time Lapse, Slow Motion, and regular videos. The regular videos had the Video Boost feature added after shooting.

I still have a lot to learn but Final Cut Pro on the iPad makes editing and stitching together videos. The iPad’s pencil is a nice tool to use in conjunction with the iPad while editing. They make quick work of the editing process.

If you take the time to watch this video, thanks.

Pixel 8 Pro Night Sight Video

The purchase of the Pixel 8 Pro has brought many things to my love of #pixel, but I am a bit embarrassed to say that, even though I have had Night Sight since my Oh-So-Orange 4 XL, I have just thought of stringing together the one second videos that are produced when I take a Night Sight photo. How’s that for a run-on sentence?

While I have loved using my phone to take low light photos since my Sunshine Yellow Lumia 1020, the Night Sight feature on Pixels has opened the night sky to me. It is always amazing to see how many stars are actually in the sky at night.

The thing I had missed in the reviews and videos was that a one second video was produced when taking a long exposure Night Sight photo. For me, the photo must be 2 minutes 34 seconds or longer for the app to produce a video. The video is a time lapse of the photo. While I thought the videos were interesting, I never thought to take a series of photos and the combine the resulting videos into a string and make one time lapse video. That is until recently.

There can be something eerily beautiful with these photos

So I am going to continue to play with this and see what can be produced.oogle
