Finally moved into this small new place !
Its so small …. anyway I don’t wanna start complaining now. This was supposed to be a happy post 
Compared to the earlier one, my new dorm is at a now a whole 3km away from work! The earlier one was so near, I could be in my seat within 10 minutes of waking up! Not that I ever tried doing that 
Anyway, its been one week of commuting, have had surprisingly wonderful weather for the entire week. Used the car just for a day, and till it gets freakin cold I’m gonna stick to my mountain bike for a while.
Caught this wonderful sunset on my first evening in the new place. Wish to see more of these in the future ^^
Anyway, coming back to the main subject, the past few days, commuting to work has been a real pleasure. Day before yesterday, I attached my camera to my bike and shot this video. Should give a nice idea how rural
japan (Inaka/田舎) looks like. But seriously, perfect blue sky, with not a single cloud, this happens one once or twice a year.
this was taken on my new fujifilm F70EXR.
BTW, I did tweak this a little bit in iMovie ‘09. Not much though, just 5 minutes worth on editing. The rendering and uploading part did take a lot more! Will upload this to Vimeo later. Just wanna check the video quality.
Someday, I have to do this with Tokina 11-16 f2.8 on my 5D Mark II. Only problem is the camera costs a little more than 10 times my bike, and I need to find some good way to fix it to the bike. The added weight is surely gonna make it a slower ride 
Finally, I’d like to add that my inspiration for this video was this one, shot by Sam from daily dose of imagery. Amazing blog !
Biking with 5D Mark II from Sam Javanrouh on Vimeo.
Testing the Canon 5D Mark II with a super wide angle lens while biking on King street and Yonge street in Toronto. Unfortunately it started raining and a raindrop on my wide lens ruined the second half of the shot.
This was shot a few weeks ago and was before Canon release the Manual Exposure firmware. It’ll be interesting to test different shutter speeds for this now.
Anyway, bye for now, have a lot to do …
