First video effort with the Nikon D90

This is the first video I attempted with the video function on the d90. It does not work with auto focus so had to get to grips with the manual very quickly! Also made the mistake of filming it in the smallest format. But here it is anyway. It is taken on the Southbank near the National Gallery. You will find a host of bikers and skaters there every weekend and spend enough time there you will get the opportunity to take a good shot or too.

The tricky bit with filming on the D90 is that you have to look at the LCD screen to see what you are filming. As some of you may know, everything looks in focus on the small screen, so filming in large format needs a tripod and you to have a good view of the screen. So don't use it in direct sunlight. The view finder is blocked off by the shutter, so no use in looking in there to get a closer view.

Hopefully my skills in this area will improve quickly.

Enjoy.
