I am planning another this next weekend, the weather forecast is good and the tide range is greater, low tide down to 0.5M and high tide up to 10.2M, last week was just a trial run really. I need to experiment with the video settings in the D800 because I know they weren't optimal. I had intended to just take a ton of JPEGs then combine them in Ps into a video, which I have done before but since the D800 can do it in camera so neatly I thought I would give it a whirl. I will also use the extra battery compartment which came with the camera as a way of doubling the battery capacity. I need a portable external power source but it will have to wait for now.
I may run the D300S and use a longer lens to make short clips of specific areas of the estuary. I also want to edit in some clips of the currents and whirlpools around the pier. They are seriously dangerous and quite spectacular.
What with getting up early for tides and staying up late to photograph stars I don't see many opportunities for sleep! But you can't miss good weather for either.
