I want to thank Jim for putting his trust in me. I'm humbled. Thank you Graeme, Jarred and Brent.

Right now I am reviewing footage I shot this evening at Salton Sea and my jaw is literally on the floor. I shot 96fps 5K full sensor. The amount of detail in these shots is unlike anything I've ever seen. I would say it compares to 65mm 5-perf, but I might be understating how unreal this Epic footage looks to my eyes. And how many people can even shoot 65mm 5-perf at 96 frames per second? None that I know of.

Here's the camera this afternoon. Epic M #188.

Congrats Tom! Bathed in those golden rays, I can sense the magic! Can't wait to see you bring the "epic" with a capital E!

Tom, congrats on the awesome new toy, and great pic!

In looking at the camera, I see the top handle right over the exhaust vent. How hot is that exhaust, venting from the camera?

I'd imagine that it can't be all that bad, but figured I's ask anyhow.

The detail is stunning, but when you see 96fps COMBINED with this level of detail and image quality, that's when you realize you are looking at something new and different. 96fps is poetry in motion.

There is so much detail on these shots (which, BTW, proved to me that the Duclos 80-200 is very worthy of 5K), I could actually see these birds taking a crap in mid air.. and shaking the water off themselves. Details I have never seen in any of my footage before. Not even close.

If those were chickens, they would also be poultry in motion!

Before it happens to both our posts, just wanted to say...
Also want to say congratulations to Tom and great images.

Could not have said it better myself...poetry in motion. Is this the Duclos PL zoom your using? I would love some feedback on your experienced with that glass...need to outfit a kit for the playa. ;)

Screw the camera, I want to live where you shoot. Beautiful scenery. Seriously though, look forward to seeing more stills and footage over the coming months Tom. Congratulations.
