Busc 11 – Round Up
May 23rd
So Its been while since my last post… I don’t know why but I seem to have very little spare time nowadays. I guess working a full time job really does take its toll on personal projects and keeping things updated. Any way at the beginning of April I went back out to the French Alps with some friends from Nottingham Trent Uni. Once again we had an awesome time. The snow wasn’t amazing with it being towards the end of the season, however the X-games were held there only a few weeks before so the parks were top level. We spent most the days shredding them up. I filmed quite a bit again.. standard, this time I didn’t edit all the footage to music etc so I just created a few little videos that consisted of the best bits, these went up on facebook.
I did get time to produce the following little edit. While on the slope I had the idea of the camera pole floating between people by getting someone to carry it from behind. We did a few trial runs and it actually ended up being quite difficult. The person being filmed had to remember not to get the person who handed the camera to them in shot. The person taking the camera around had to make sure their shadow wasn’t in the shot. We tried it a few times, The following edit has been chopped up a bit to make it go to the beat, also to cut out any bits where you could see the carrier.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF
Mar 29th
I’ve been wanting to get a prime lens for some time but haven’t had the budget.. I’m going back up the French Alps in a few days time so I decided I would get this lens for the trip even though I still don’t really have the budget…
I asked around and did a bit of research and it seemed the best starting place was a 50mm f1.8.
I decided to go with Nikons own prime lens. I found a seller on eBay who was flogging one in mint condition for £80 delivered. I placed my order and it arrived next day. Magic.
First impressions, I thought it was very small. It’s certainly smaller than my other lenses, Lighter too. It looks kind of funny and insignificant attached to the big body of an SLR.
During my lunch break I went out round town and the studio testing it out. Below is one example.
To get an idea of the size here it is against my other lenses. From left to right: Tamron 100-300mm, Nikon 18-105mm, Falcon 8mm and Nikon 50mm.
