Video 5 - Frying wild mushrooms

October is the season for wild mushrooms so we bought some in the Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain. I have no idea what kind of mushrooms these are and the son of the mushroom man only knew the names in Catalan so good luck. But they were delicious! I recommend them.

Also, thanks to Fred for helping with this video. It's tough to shoot yourself. Where you see both of my hands, he's holding the video.

Video 4 - Hiking in Costa Brava

One Saturday we set out in a rental car for the Costa Brava, about an hour's drive north of Barcelona hoping to go sea kayaking. When we got there, the sea was too rough so we went hiking along the cliffs instead. The challenge in this video was to tell a story without narration. Shooting the video was a challenge as well. You can see near the end of the clip how amature I still am. My nerves aren't steady enough for the waves!

Video 3 - Foggy road

This video was shot on the way to the Costa Brava north of Barcelona where we were hoping to go sea kayaking. I should have used the light on my camera at one point here, and I need to figure out how to use the manual focus. But I enjoyed patching together different parts of audio and video.

Video 2 - A human statue on Las Ramblas

This video was taken late on the afternoon of October 6 and I edited it late into the evening. So much was happening around me it was hard to keep the camera still on one face long enough. Maybe more planning would help. Also, I can't figure out how to choose which image appears as the tag image in YouTube. Still, I like this one as try number two.

Video 1 - A walk in the former brownfields

Trial number one on the video blog: I joined Fred's class as they took a tour of a former brownfield industrial site that Barcelona is changing into usable public space. This one I took and uploaded on the same day, but I'll try to do a better job of estimating shooting and editing times for the next attempts. Victories for today: creating my own Youtube channel and uploading ; )
