Thread: Greetings from Tel Aviv

Hi,
My name is Izhar Ashdot and I'm a professional musician, based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Since buying my Sony NEX-5 eight months ago, I've become obsessed with cinematography and film creation.
I'm a self-learning film student, reading, shooting, editing and enjoying the wealth of information on the web as a result of the DSLR revolution.
I love the guerilla attitude of the DSLR world. I own about ten manual lenses, mostly old Russian M42 mount lenses.
I buy my lights and other accessories on Ebay, and make some of my own gear such as my shoulder mount. Sites such as Cheesycam.com are a great inspiration.
I'll post links to some of my short films, I hope you'll enjoy them, I'd love to read your comments.

Welcome Izhar! Hope to see you around often! And would love to see your films! And listen to your music!

Izhar, I appreciate your taking the time to introduce yourself. Your excitement is catching! We have a few more members who I know are into video and film, so this could be a whole new venue.

Welcome Izhar!

Welcome Izhar.
Could you post how you set your camera up for videos. Also, what lenses and how best to use them.
Thanks, Don

I've just set up a handy thread for an overview of the NEX and video.

Hello and welcome Izhar ! Please take a seat aboard.
