The Canon XL1 mini dv digital camcorder

This is an introduction to my Canon XL1 Mini DV Camcorder.
It is old school technology now but was way ahead of it's time in many ways.

Emu Chicks are cute

Emu chicks are some of the cutest babies in the animal kingdom. These were filmed on a trip to Kangaroo Island in 2003. The little one at the end with the "bung" leg would not survive in the wild. These were in a protected enclosure.They were filmed with a Canon XL1 video camera.
It is interesting that the Male looks after the chicks once they are born.

Sidetracked from Posting

I haven't posted much lately as I am involved in one or 2 projects.
One is helping my friend Rob with his Tree of Life Ministry(TOL) in making some training videos to be used in Africa by Africans and in their own language.

I am finally, now that I am "retired" starting to devote some time to the video side of my photography.
I have always shot movies.
Standard 8, Super 8mm film movies,VHS ans SVHS video(Panasonic Cameras) and Digital Video using some Canon cameras, my favourite the Canon XL1.
So over the years I have been accumulating miles of moving pictures.
Family,Wildlife,Birds,Travel,Sport,Church Services etc.
Now I am taking time out to learn how to edit properly and put together some good quality movies from all my shoots.
In addition I have also recorded heaps of Audio and have started a project that may come to pass as a Radio Documentary.
So watch this space some time this year for some moving content.
I will keep you posted.(Pun intended)
There will be more pages coming soon as a  follow up to my recent post on the Booklet "The Holy Spirit" by Frank Hunting.
