Shoot now, focus later.

Thanks. I've been wanting one for a bit when I accidently slowed down some clips in some kayaking video I was making. I had a contour HD filming at 60fps and I slowed it down to 30fps somehow. When I saw that i made another video in slow motion. Looks pretty cool but I'd love to do it at 1000fps.

I did see a canon that looked like a DSLR camera that did it at I think 3000fps or would do it in HD. Ran about $1000 which is about hte max I'd spend.

I'd get in too much trouble with those mythbuster cameras. Those things are fucking sweet as hell. Oh my god/allah/darwin/etc the shit I'd try and film with that.

Yep, lots of the same stock wedding photos going around. I have some of my own. Kyle's wife seated in the crowd actually took my favorite one of the day.

If I want piles and piles of titty and ass shots, I'll call random uncle. Everything else, not so much.

I told you random uncle's pictures were the best.

There are some affordable high speed cameras put there:

It can do high speed but at the expense of resolution.

I can modify my android to take 30+ FPS, but that doesnt mean, those pics are worth a damn, and definitely does not mean i will be running out to purchase a Casio camera.

BS - sorry, you can't memorize the entire guest list and know exactly what is going on. If you do, you must only shoot a few weddings a year for people you know. That's all I was saying was random uncle sometimes get the shots that the couple will love the most.

It's clear to me that you hate photographers and you hate pictures.

Actually I love GOOD photos. I really dislike a lot of computer editting that is done to photos beyond some of the necessary clean up stuff. Especially poorly done HDR. If you are using HDR to enhance the light without distorting the photo, great. If you are making the photo look like a drawing or fucking with the colors, bad.

I don't hate GOOD photographers either.

It's a big debate, on photography forums, as to when a photo is no longer a photo, but has become 'digital art.' I'm a bit of a purist and documentarian. I do very little work on my shots trying to get exactly what I want right out of the camera, as much as possible. I don't clone things out, nor do I add things in. I do a little exposure compensation, maybe alter saturation a bit, a little unsharp mask, and occasional noise reduction. I don't generally spend more than a minute on editing each picture and, quite frequently, I just upload them exactly as they came out of the camera.

The more a picture is worked on the more obvious it is to me, and the less I tend to like it.
