1:30 am when I returned home. A full moon and a shimmery sky above, perfect opportunity to test The Revolution. Digital SLRs that shoot video, HD nonetheless. Canon already made its mark, fortunately Nikon was not too far behind — though I was stuck waiting for the leap frog of tech from competing companies that happens every year or so.

I don’t really like geeking out and talking tech in a blog. There are plenty of others who do a great job at it. But this is a post worthy of pocket protectors.  Knowing that the amazing clouds overhead would not last long, I quickly set up a tripod with  the D300s and a 300mm lens then shot the moon. I wasn’t quite set up for an audio rig yet for the D300s, so I broke out my H4 along with a genius invention — a Rolls 9V battery powered portable pre-amp,  an Audio-Technica stereo mic and I was set. A half hour or so of shooting and recording then some time lapse editing, transcoding and uploading and presto, a 50 second clip worth posting.
