FastFlyingVirginian - Invidious

FastFlyingVirginian

Greetings, train lovers and non-train lovers alike!

Train watching has been one of my hobbies since childhood, but I didn't start photographing them until my teen years when I got my first still camera, a Kodak Disc. I started shooting video in 1993 using a borrowed full-size VHS camcorder (thanks Mike!), then moved to 8mm tape in 1996 when I bought a Sony Handycam. The Handycam was retired in April 2007, succeeded by a Canon HV20 that recorded 1080i HD to miniDV tape. In April 2012, the HV20 was replaced by a Canon HF-G10 that records 1080p HD to SD memory card. Most recently, in October 2023 I began using my Google Pixel 8 Pro to supplement the HF-G10. I am always striving to add new content, so stay tuned!

Like the footage you see here? Want to reuse it? Do the right thing - ask permission first and give credit.

That said, enjoy the videos!

Other Equipment:

Tripod: Manfrotto 546B legs, 502HD head
Microphone: Canon SM-V1/Rode SVM
