PANDEMIC REFLECTIONS: Atlanta Sunset shot on LUMIX G85, Summer 2020

Gorgeous video! My eyes say to you thank you 🤩

Hey thanks so much Jean-Claude! 😀

[@Rufus-OG]

I loved that!! Beautiful music and lovely images. I thought the use of the phone was genius. So many KZbinrs always crapping on about the latest Canon or Sony and you’re just out there using you G85 making great content. Bravo 👏🏼

Hey Rufus, thanks so much for watching and your kind remarks. I am new to video, so shooing photography AND trying to get video all at the same time can be a real challenge. Sometimes the iPhone is the best option in the moment. One of these days I will have a crew, and I won't need to juggle 2 cameras, 6 lenses and an iPhone all by myself. LOL :)

The colours were amazing. Did I see that correctly, that you used your phone screen to get a reflection? Clever!

[@graphiknation]

Hey, thanks so much Micheal and yes! It's a little tricky to get the right angle and hold the camera steady, but if you can make it work it looks really great. Thanks for watching :)

Nice shots as usual Lauren. Nice video shooting as well. Did you color grade the video? PEACE from ATL📸📽✊🏾

[@graphiknation]

Hey, Thanks so much, Rob! I did color grade the video, but I am not very good at it yet. LOL Still learning how to use Premiere Pro, I wish it was as easy as Lightroom!

This is wonderful!!!! This city is quit amazing. Do you reside in Atlanta?

[@graphiknation]

Hey Sam, thanks so much for watching! I do live in Atlanta, about a mile from Downtown. Are you in Atlanta as well?

@@graphiknation I was in Midtown---March 2015, returned home, Anderson, S.C. that I might care for my uncle and his daughter. My uncle was hit on I 85 in Greenville, S.C.---while walking early Oct. 30, 2019 because of high level dementia and mental handicap. My cousin is also slow. I have a flight planned for London, Oct. 4 thru Oct. 14. I'm excited about my first flight and visiting England. Atlanta is wonderful in different ways---for I lived in Norcross, Roswell, Midtown, Decatur, Jonesboro, and Sandy Springs. Its a real shame The Dogwood Festival, The Peachtree Road Race, Dragon Con, and many others were cancelled this year. I spent time in clubs such were the Chamber, The Masquerade, The Shelter, Johnny's Hideaway, and others. I also attended events in the German Cultural Center and the French Cultural Center. That city has played different parts of my life and will continue, as long as I can do it. I may or may not be moving abroad eventually. What do you enjoy in your spare time?

@@hume7171 I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle's accident, that's just heart breaking. :( It's great that you have been able to step in and help though, I am sure they both appreciate you so very much. It's such a crazy time right now, and definitely hard to be missing out on all the events and daily indulgences we once enjoyed so freely. I personally miss concerts, theatre, restaurants and spending time with family and friends the most. I hope to get back to hosting street photography meetups in Atlanta, but I am not sure when that will be safe to resume at this point? I hope you have a fun and safe trip to London. I have yet to plan any air travel, but man I do miss NYC! We had to cancel a trip we had planned in May, and who knows when we will be able to make it there again.

@@graphiknation Hope you get back into New York---and I should be in Atlanta before year's end. Maybe I'll run into you.

@@hume7171 Thanks, enjoy your travels and let me know if you you make it to Atlanta. :)
