Miffed!
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 7:15 pm
today i am feeling a little miffed!
i've been really excited since receiving my new helmet/bar-mounted video camera (nothing exciting - just a Kodak Playsport Zx3) and so today (even though it was COLD) i went for a ride to capture my first HD footage of the amazing riding/scenery around here.
so.....i set out this morning on a 3 hour jaunt in the snow and froze my ass off (was -9 in the sun and -16 in the shade + windchill) only to discover that i'd set the angle wrong on the camera and had hours of footage of my front wheel and not much else!
ARSE!!!!!
the up-side is that i learned a valuable lesson about filming on my bike and i was really pleased with the quality of the miserable boring footage i managed to capture.
at least i've got an excuse to get out again before the snow disappears!
will post something worth watching if/when i manage to sort it all out (i'm a complete Luddite).
ok, rant over - thanks for listening.
