A day on a farm…

6 May – Mid-term elections are coming and with that, comes political spots.  Saturday, we shot a spot for Measure G. 

Brent set’s up our last shot.

My “jenky” rig – it was a last minute request, so we didn’t have all the right stuff, but we did have enough to make it work.  It’s made from four C-stand arms, three Cardellini clamps, a couple of mini Cardellini clamps, some Card-a-links and some ratchet straps.  It’s a great shot.

Just before this shoot, I purchased a new digital still camera.  I wanted something smaller and lighter than what I was using.  I found the Panasonic Lumix LZ2 at Costco for $150!  The price is right, but the best part is that it can shoot a photo in 16×9 aspect ratio.  Some of the photos above were shot in that mode.  Great for location scouts.
