Canon 7D Interview – DSLR camera & LED lights

This week we shot an interview with the preeminent sage grouse ecologist, Dave Naugle, who was intimately involved with the recent hearings in DC which found the sage grouse is indeed warranted for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Unfortunately the listing was precluded, however, due to funding.

Our interview location was far from ideal. It was hard-walled confernece room overtaken by a single, massive (and @#$ing heavy!) table. I was pinned against the far wall and the acoustics were not great, but we worked around it. Our LED system lit the interview well enough given the situation. We ran two cameras, a JVC-GYHD series and the Canon 7D (not yet set up in this photo).

Here is a still image from the 7D of the interview. No spectacular depth achieved, but we did alright given the terrible venue.
