My first published video for Flickr.

I am pretty pleased with Windows Live Movie Maker..... Free and works well for this. It could be a little better, though (you know, more options and stuff...). Anyway, AVI files from the camera went in without any problems.... Quality on my computer looks very good (very very slight degrade). We'll see how it turns out here.... Hmmmm.

Blaaaahhhh. Actually, I think the quality (after Flickr converted it) kinda stinks.... If you view this, please let me know how the quality and smoothness of play looks on your end. Thanks.

Have a great weekend!

Here are some moving pictures from my "trek" in Florida. My intention was to present to you a peaceful tour around the yard that early evening. And you know, with that brightly colored dewlap poking out of the brown lizard intermittently, it's really hard to appreciate with only a single image.

At one point, you'll see the lizard doing push ups. First time I saw this, I had no idea what he was doing. At Wikipedia.com, it explains: "Male brown anoles tend to do "push-ups" and bob their heads when they're angry, when they're ready to fight, and when they're trying to attract mates." So there you go. Everyone who learned something today, raise your hand. :)

BTW, all this was hand-held with the large 70-300mm VR lens. I didn't want to be encumbered with a tri/monopod (actually, I didn't have enough sense to take it on my trek) so, sorry if the video is a bit shaky.... ;)

Oh, and hey, right before the end of the video, watch as the ant bites his toe! :D

P.S. I just noticed that when I view this in the lightbox, I get it at 1280x720 resolution! Not stretched to full screen (which for me is larger than 1280x720) or shrunk down to 640x360 (more or less) as you see on this page. I think that's pretty cool (who else does that?). Way to go Flickr!
