I have a new camera (after 15 years LMAO) and I'm trying to learn how to use it.http://vimeo.com/16697402 this video is of what I have up so far. I know how to solve the issue of the tree looking like it is leaning (get the camera level, I'm such a putz!). I have the camera set to fireworks and no other settings. The Robin Wheel is out of focus to me, and the colors are not right. Other than the suggestions made by TJ what can I try to improve my videos?ThanksBruceLOL. I restrung them Blue ... HAHA. What I did was what TJ suggested with the shutter speed and I took OFF the fireworks settings. Switched it to Night. I also tried low light, that sucked. I'm pretty sure that setting was night with the shutter speed down to 1/15. Problem is I took so damn many pics last night that I "forgot" what I did?????? DOH! But I'm pretty sure what I told you was the deal. I'm still messing with it. Report more findings as they arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friskybri Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Got 40k lights up. 10 controllers wired and tested. All I have left is the Mega tree, candy canes and a Santa. Will start the mega tree this weekend. Need to cut a few trees down for the mega tree placement today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Wingert Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Since I had lights left over and its shameful to waste, decided to outline the sides of the house. We are pushing 15,000 now. Not bad for a 1st year. Oh yeah, the mini trees are finally all in place. Took some creative movement to get them to work with the arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
