Canoeing in the Virginia highlands – Video

JohnLeave a comment

Earth Day 2024, we took our parents on a canoe trip to the Allegheny Highlands of Virginia at Lake Moomaw. My mom had just recovered from an acute cardiac condition known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy. 2 months later she was out paddling with us…we are more than grateful for this time together. I hope you guys enjoy it.

I have really enjoyed shooting with the Sony A6700. It is truly amazing to me how far we have come in video camera technology. There is so much packaged into this small camera. In the world of technology gear and gadgets, it is easy for me to get lost in the jargon, the specs and the hype. At the end of the day, I must remind myself that the camera is designed to capture memories and moments and most importantly, to tell a story.

I shot this video back in the fall time when I took the kids out to Maymont Park on a beautiful fall day to see the animals. All of them were out! Even the elusive bobcat that I had never seen before. The kids very much enjoyed the adventure.

(All of the footage was shot with a Sony a6700 and a Tamron 28-75mm)

Happy Spring everyone! Stay safe and good health to all.

Fall Time in Virginia – Sony A6700 Video Demo – (music with Sony ECMM1 Microphone)

Testing out my new Sony a6700, filmed with a Tamaron 28-75mm lens. Footage shot at High Bridge State Park (Virginia), Twin Lakes State Park (Virginia), and various shots around the home. I recorded the background music with a Gibson J45 and the Sony ECMM1 Multidirectional Shotgun Microphone. I’m going to try to record most of my music now, to avoid copyright and visibility issues.

Wishing everyone out there good health, good luck and good times as we approach Spring. Be well!
