I had two videos published today, one on a local pool champion’s practice routine and the other on the Virginia school bus rodeo (or should I say, road-e-o?).
The pool video was shot with the 5D Mark II camera while the school bus video was shot with our standard tape-deck camera (Canon Vixia HV30).
