Sint Maarten, shooting from hip without extras

[stonepatterson]

So, on Friday the 13th (November), I got hit by two cars doing 65 MPH on the freeway as I stopped due to a parked police cruiser (with flashing lights) on freeway. Officer, on foot was less than 8 feet away from collision. All cited but me. Car totaled (C-Max was 14 months old) but all drivers were insured and we had gap insurance. Right before leaving for planned vacation on Sint. Maarten. Yikes, not at my best for traveling -- had injuries too. Could not cancel vacation.

So using my tiny Sony 96GB HDR-PJ790 without any extras (no tripod or anything) this is what I shot (everything was shot manually -- hate auto settings). Watch in HD if possible. Now I am wondering, just how much better if shot in 4K and edited on the new Cassie editing system... comments? Yikes the larger files! Thinking Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder (for smaller cam) or Sony PXW-FS5 XDCAM Super 35 Camera System with Zoom Lens (for easier manual access). Always soaking for suggestions.

If you are tired of the cold and damp. Give 'er a viewing.

Fantastic! Just watched on my new iPad Pro hi Rez. Passenger planes appear to be landing on the beach

Needs a little steel drum music bed ... but the footage sure makes me want to go! Hope you're doing better.
