Man how fast they grow!!!! Beautiful family you have there!!!
Thank you. I'd like to blame it all on my wife, but my kids look just like me. I had blonde hair all through my life until high school, then it turned brown. But the blonde hair and blue eyes is all me, my wife is brown eyes brown hair. The cute though, that they get from my wife
Yes, a beautiful family. I am going to have to check out that video camera.
Thanks. Definitely, the GoPro is an amazing little camera. The only thing I dont like is it has almost no manual controls. At least by default. I think you can do some things to it to hack it to have some manual controls, but from the manufacturer you basically pick your aspect ratio and your resolution and then the FPS you want and hit go. It broadcasts it's own little wireless network you can connect to from almost any wireless device like an iPhone or Android, and you can watch what it's recording and remote start/stop, plus change settings and review the video and what not.
I take it out four wheeling and mount it to my helmet, just to document the journey. In fact, if you go to my video I posted with the birds and look at my channel, you can see some examples of it. Otherwise, look up the YouTube channel Mezico, that's me.
One nice thing about the GoPro is it's very wide angle and can focus very close to the camera. Some of those birds the tail is actually moving back behind the camera for a brief moment and the entire thing is in focus until it moves out of frame. I'm not sure how close it can actually focus, but it's very close. Far out though, it doesnt do so great, it's definitely in it's prime between 3" and 20' away.
