Bill, this isn't getting nearly the comments it should.
Most are probably familiar with the old joke: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?". The answer being: "Practice, practice, practice." The photographic version of that being: "f8 and be there", which at first blush sounds a bit dismissive. But when you think about it...
When I look at your video, I see someone who's spent an amazing amount of time on the line, who's taken that time to learn it inside and out, and who's made the effort to take that knowledge and combine it with solid technical skill to create an extremely impressive body of work. The epitome of "f8 and be there".
Well done, and thanks for sharing! Definitely enjoyed it.
But... I also have to admit that the "Opua" reference goes a bit over my somewhat dense and aging head.
