We had the Epic out at Badwater last night. Don't ask about the slider... we were super, super rushed on the setup. We got this set up literally 20 seconds before the best light of the evening. Somehow, the shot worked out great! The sky was a subtle, pastel orange and pink, mixed with white clouds, which blended nicely against the white, salty ground as the camera flew over it. My hope was to move the camera in a "Z-axis" move, meaning as straight forward as possible. Lens was 16mm, so I had the camera off to the side of the slider a bit, and the slider itself just slightly caddy-corner. I call this a quasi-Z-Axis move.

i totally understand rushing for that one shot! Glad you have an Epic back in hand!

I took another crack at Badwater again yesterday evening. No grad ND, so I was relying on the dynamic range of the camera. In a sense, because the ground is white, this actually helps. I was able to see a lot of detail in the salt patterns while holding exposure on the clouds.

I actually shoot differently on the Epic vs how I used to shoot on the MX, mainly due to it's size. Those are two sandbags holding the blocks of wood.

Tom, I'm a little out of the loop on your recent adventures with your M. Glad to see you and #188 back in action. Watching the RC heli go down with #188 on it must have been a sight bordering on traumatic!

In this most recent outing are you doing time lapse with it, or real time motion pictures, or both?

[Tom Lowe]

So far, I am shooting all realtime on the Epic. The lowest framerate available right now is 12fps. I am, however, very excited about the forthcoming timelapse functions on Epic.
