@RickO that is a wonderful video. There is remarkably little noise for such a dark video. What did you shoot it with? Do you happen to know the ISO, frame rate, etc?

Thanks much for the compliment!

I'm cracking up over here Will. Are you sure you want to know?? LOL!

It was shot on a Samsung Galaxy S4  smartphone ( one of the first, if not the first Samsung smartphone).  Which as I mentioned to Kevin above, was finally replaced a couple of weeks ago after it was no longer compatible with my provider. (It was a free upgrade 8 years ago, 1 replacement screen and 2 batteries later. I think I got my moneys worth)

That video was one of those fluke, "that turned out pretty decent" videos.  Crossbucks with lights have since been added to the crossing right after the platform,it would have been nice to have had them for the video.

I could never get a handle on the "pulsing" of the autofocus which is horribly obvious in my lighted videos.

With the new phone. I'm hoping future videos, especially those with the lights on will look much better.

I only shoot the occasional video for fun to demonstrate or post on the forum, so investment in a "real" video camera never really seemed practical. Eric Siegel, and many others have a handle on "quality" video production.

BTW, In case you were interested. I still have that old phone, it works fine camera and all. You just can't make any calls.
