Every afternoon, we feed the barn cats and check on the donkeys. Usually they come skittering down. If you don’t give them an oak cookie, they will come up behind you and tap your butt with their nose. And you feel it. So I gave them some cookies. And used my new Panasonic camcorder.

So far I’ve been through three cameras on my video revolution. I got a Flip,which was cool but the format was way too small for my style. Sold it. Then got a JVC Averio, better, but lost it somewhere in Glens Falls yesterday. If I find it, I will sell it (video photography is not nearly as expensive as still, thankfully). So I called B&H Photo and they told me why those were the wrong cameras for me and I bought a Panasonic. I like it. Big jump in ease of use and quality.

And a major improvement in sound as you’ll hear.

And I took it with me into the barn to give Lulu and Fanny a cookie. My first on the new cam. Tomorrow I head for Saratoga Springs for my video lesson with Dave Biger and his squad. And I’m getting a lot from my Imovie editing lessons with Sara Friedman. Lot to learn, lots of improvement ahead. I am loving it.

I’ll be taking a video in Congress Park tomorrow in Saratoga and we will edit it there. I can’t wait. I have a lot of ideas for neat videos of the dogs and animals.

Anyway, come along for cookie time with Lulu and Fanny. 30 seconds. Videos need to be short and dynamic, I think.
