    I went to Atlanta a few months back and in my opinion, it was the city that felt most like a "city" from my perspective. Sure, I was mostly in the Peachtree Center area (and it was COLD AS HECK), but still, I was captivated by the whole place. I kind of regret leaving the beautiful magnum opus of Southern cities that is Atlanta, Georgia.

      Thanks, all my gear is listed in the closing credits, I'm using a Sony HDR-PJ710 that I got before last year's trip out west. It has the most incredible image stabilization I've ever seen, it just floats along with the road.

    • @CptSchmidt
      @CptSchmidt 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Freewayjim Yeah, I'll say. Something about the lighting here made it really slick. It's really hard to get a nice twilight video and this one nailed it. Sorry, I closed when the driving finished :P

    • @Freewayjim
      @Freewayjim  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      CptSchmidt Thanks OK, most people do :) Thanks, and you are right about low light videos, they can be tricky. I'd say the best Twilight video I have is 13-50 Las Vegas #1 of 2: Sin City Sundown in Las Vegas from last year, with all the lights it really came out nice.
