muscle cars!

Just before coming out to LA I managed to queue jump from 38th to top of the queue to get hold of a Canon 5d mkII and it's been amazing! I'm blown away by it when I've shot with it. The functionality on it is pretty darned impressive. I'm kind of liking the personalised settings, on top of the lovely feel of it to shoot with. What I haven't had chance to really play with is the hi-def video that's bundled in with it. That is until today... we went out today to do a favour for my friend and got some footage of an old Chevelle and the 65 Chevy C-10 that I used for the editorial. They both have 350 V8's in and both will kick up huge clouds of burning rubber at the drop of a heavy right boot. Rather a nice way to spend the penultimate day in Cali, went to the beach, spent the afternoon playing in muscle cars and filming them in high def, then going for burgers & thick shakes in a '50's diner before going to watch a film in a retro cinema. Americana through and through!

One day left and then fly home to edit everything!
