No, but if I just go to https://vimeo.com/49620983 it looks real good!

I get a broken link page :( Ralph

OOps, it added a comma. Try http://vimeo.com/49620983

Cool looking stuff. That saddle tanker looks even better moving than it does in the stills.

Later,

There we go, John.
Have to add the www for the forum software to recognize it :wink:

I missed that comma, tiny little buggar :slight_smile:

Thanks, Ralph!
One of these days, I’ll learn to imbed it. HJ is helping me as well.

JB,

You need to modify the URL just a tad

  1. forget about https:// i.e. drop the s to get http://
  2. add the www in front of the vimeo.com
  3. then add just the number of the video

BTW the https://vimeo.com is a new wrinkle since they upgraded the software. The other thing: read through their compression recommendations. :wink:

John, you have a good eye for this sort of thing.

I really like your sense of proportion, and the way that you incorporated the 1:1 borrowed scenery throughout, but especially at 3:05 to 3:17 or so.

Perhaps you should call this “Run Spot, run,” in honor of your new One Spot. :smiley:

Steve,
Whatever is in the background is what I video. I can’t get a perfect shot on my layout.

JB,

Looks good!

BTW sometimes if you move the cam just a few inches or feet and change the angle e.g. shoot from an elevation as if you stand on a hill, you can get rid of a lot of “visual clutter”. Same goes if you shoot from below and have nothing but the RoW, the train and the sky behind it. In addition to that, experiment with the manual focus to “tune out” the background.

It’s a learning process like everything in life. :wink: :slight_smile:

John, I was throwing a compliment atcha.

The “borrowed scenery” works very well, it fits right in. Because of perspective, the large 1:1 trees in the distance look like they belong in your 1:20.3 world. They don’t look too big at all. They look just right.

I think that you have chosen your camera angles just right.
