Paralleled Life

China's 60th Anniversary national day - timelapse and slow motion - 7D and 5DmkII from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

相信很多人看过上面的这个视频，是英国卫报记者Dan Chung用若干台单反拍出来的，最好玩的就是用C+的7D配了N+的镜头，看得出是个双修的主。想起当年看的另外一个5DII拍的视频，真是惊艳，估计单反的视频时代开始了。正好平心同学吵着要单反，下定决心开始攒钱准备升级5DII了，450D也不会浪费了。

60th anniversary of the founding of the people’s republic. The challenge was to come up with something different with so many different Chinese and international media covering the event from every angle. After waiting half the previous night for a pass and then catching only 3 hours sleep in the press centre lobby, I got put on a stand with a hundred odd of my media collegues including the likes of the BBC, Reuters, AP and AFP so there was no point doing the same as they were. Messing around waiting for the parade to start with my Rolleiflex next to the BBC's Quentin Sommerville Chinese media with long lenses at the ready to shoot their leaders I decided to shoot the whole video on D-SLRs using a combination of time lapse and slow motion. The 7D was equipped with an adapted Nikon 300mm f2.8 lens and a 1.4x convertor set at 720p/60 and then slowed down to 25fps in Final Cut Pro. The 5DmkII and Nikon D700 were both mounted remotely high up in the air, one atop a big studio light stand, the other in a Manfrotto super arm clamped to a lampost, both also had tilt and shift lenses fitted. Shooting with my 7D, Zacuto Z-finder, Nikon 300mm f2.8 and 1.4x convertor and Sennheiser MKE400 mike. It was a quite hot for an October day in Beijing and I think this coupled with my heavy use of the 720p movie mode caused my 7D to overheat a lot. The camera would flash a red warning on the LCD and three times the camera overheated so much that it decided to stop me filming. This is documented in the user manual which also states that overheating can also cause the image quality to degrade. In future I’m going to being more with me to protect the camera from the heat. This said the footage I did get was amazing and is only lightly adjusted for colour and contrast, otherwise its pretty much how it came out the camera.

　　昨天阅兵之时,天安门上空晴空万里,蓝天白云清晰可见。据悉,为了这美好天气,从1日7时30分开始,北京实施火箭人工消云减雨作业。截至1日9时05分,四轮作业发射了432枚火箭弹后天安门地区天气晴朗。

　　1日7时20分,北京西南部和西部地区相继涌现对流云团,云团快速向天安门方向移动。雷达监测显示,云团发展旺盛、强度大,云顶高度达到七公里左右,可能会给天安门地区带来降水。

　　为确保天安门上空无降水,北京市人工影响天气指挥中心专家紧急确定火箭消云减雨作业方案,并于7时30分开始,连续实施四次人工影响天气作业,共发射火箭弹432枚。之后,雷达回波显示云团强度减弱,作业效果明显。

　　据悉,9月30日,处于北京外围地区的内蒙古、山西也进行了提前降水作业,飞机增雨飞行3架次。当日下午,在北京西部进行了云物理探测,以了解北京及周边地区云和降水特征。 于英杰

我说北京的天怎么那么蓝？

中共气象部队真威武，控制局部天气的能力一流阿。

明天要考试，所以就扫了几眼，发现安排衔接很紧凑。今天北京风有点大，加油机后面的歼八歼十都飘来飘去，看得我有点心惊肉跳的。不过这次明显比99年水平高，当年硬是早到了几分钟，把二炮的重头戏东风31，东风41给挡了。话说二炮今年很低调，远程弹道就拿出来一个，不过长剑陆基巡航导弹的出现还是让我吃了一惊，估计不久能看到舰载型。无人机有点太水了，第一个还有光电设备（不知道是不是引导设备），第二个就是个航模。海军今年好像没啥新货，鹰击系列拿出来摆摆，不过阅兵最后还给你几个当时胡哥海上阅兵的镜头，估计是恨军舰装不了轮子。空军歼十的导弹很显眼，应该是霹雳12。还有个牛X的应该是轰六上面的空舰导弹。陆军不用说了，99和96的高低搭配（歼十歼十一也是），155榴，88轮步，加上百万之众，中国陆军说第二，估计也没人敢称第一。最激动的还是看见了红箭9反坦克导弹，当年的红箭73可是我师爷搞出来的引导头啊，有照片为证：



总之，激动啊，十年前好像也挺激动。仪式化的群体活动还是非常贴切我的胃口的。我似乎又回到了当年中学踢球的时候，在球场上听到降旗的国歌声，大家立正行礼的年代。。。

自从曾哥走了后开始看快女，场场都看。
我挺小郁，室友谢同学挺小刘。没想到小郁同学紧接小刘同学退场。看着小郁同学最后鞠躬退场，快女变得再次没法看了。

昨天到手的，今天就开始觉得无聊了。

geek的毛病就是原版的东西再牛B，也觉得看不顺眼，所以能改的地方绝对不用原装的，全都得改，怎么麻烦怎么来。
