YouTube videos are pulling in serious money

[Noreen]

You mean you haven't already got one, Rik. 

[Rik]

Never had a need for one, Ray.

[Ray]

Never had a need for one, Ray.

No, I probably wouldn't myself if I didn't have the dogs, it's useful when I am doing training or for someone else to film me and the dog in the show ring, much easier to see what you're doing wrong and how the dog is moving. 

[Rik]

Our needs have always been met better by stills cameras, Ray, and most modern ones can do a passable bit of video when needed. I'm always a bit tempted though...

This is very true, Rik.

Shall I give you the rest of my 'Santa' list now.

Only if I can send you mine. 

[Rik]

Indeed you can - I have space on the sleigh.

My nokia n95 does dvd quality video and is actually quite good. A steady hand or a tripod is required though!

[Sebby]

You have the tools, Lance, now use them.

[Rik]

I seem to recall that Jill has one of them as well David.

[David]

Lets be honest In,if I can use it then it has to be easy.its a nice bit of kit though and although I have have a card installed there is masses of memory.I have the Everio  memory Station which is a one touch storage HD...with youngsters around I love to capture the moments and edit them later on....Im no expert in this field but the quality is first rate.

I am hopeing to get some videos of me playing on youtube next year I have a few numbers but they are no perfect yet but will post when they are on there.....

[Rik]

We're waiting.

[Inactive]

Look forward to that David.

[David]

[Rik]

I only have one face though. 

[David]

Just be kind with the critique though 

[Inactive]

Of course we will David.. 

[Rik]
