Hitachi EX 60 Excavator Making a Small Gravel Parking Lot 690261
YouTube converted version. They both look about the same to me. Using a Hitachi EX 60 excavator to construct a rough angle parking lot at a road side This is the same basic video as the other one I uploaded, entitled 'EX 60', but about a minute and a half shorter. I uploaded it to experiment with resolution settings. This one was created at 320x240, while the other one was done at 640x480. I wanted to see how much of a difference it would make in the YouTube converted version. They both look about the same to me.
Using a Hitachi EX 60 excavator to construct a rough angle parking lot at a road side in front of a building supply company in Vancouver, Canada.
NOTE: Sorry about the rough pixels. Honestly, it looked much better before I uploaded it. I guess a lot of the resolution was lost when the YouTube site converted it.
I am a rather pleased with the way this vid turned out; actually, this is my first 'head cam' video that I can honestly say turned out pretty much as I had hoped. I was having a bit of a rough go of it, what with trying to get the camera up and down angle just right, as you probably can tell from watching some of my other 'at work' type videos. I tried tilting my hard hat to a much more forward angle this time, and pretty much hit the target bang on. What you see in this video is pretty much what I see when operating the excavator, but with a markedly narrower field of view, obviously. The camera still cannot follow my eyes' movement, just the movement of my head.
One thing that I found interesting: When I watched this video full-screen before uploading it to this site, it occurred to me that what I saw on screen was pretty much the perspective that I saw when sitting in the cab, distancewise, in other words, the size of the objects on screen was pretty much the same as what I saw through my own eyes when in the machine, which I think is a plus. The down side is that the video gets a bit shaky at times, due to the bouncing and shaking of the machine. I left it in, rather than trying to stabilize it, as I would have had to give up too much of the image, and at some points, you would not have been able to see important aspects of this video, like the dozer blade, for example, as they would have been removed from the edge of the picture.
I would ask two things of you: Please RATE this video, and PLEASE COMMENT on it. I'll be grateful if you would do that for me - be they favorable or unfavorable comments.
I'm also open to your suggestions for future videos. I do not currently have access to a cat or backhoe, sorry (used to have, but that doesn't help now). But I will be doing a few more later on with an EX 200 (hopefully on a commercial demolition job somewhere) and a dump truck. Well, maybe not the dump truck, but we'll see.
On another note, I'm looking for someone who would be willing to ride shotgun in a garbage truck (front loader, so no picking up garbage bags, just picking up cans with the forks) with me on one Saturday, to do camera work. There are a few different angles, etc, that I want to play with (eg: getting some overhead shots of the packer blade doing its thing, which I can't do solo, as I need someone in the cab to push the button for the blade; getting a side shot of the rear door opening and the blade pushing the garbage out, etc), and try to put together a better garbage truck video or three, than the ones I've been able to do so far.
You'd have to pack your own lunch, and the only pay would be the pure, unadulterated joy of riding in a garbage truck (quite a glamorous thing, really ;p) . But if you're into that, and live in the greater Vancouver area, let me know. I usually start at about 3 am, as it's a 12 -13 hour shift, and I like to get it done before the transfer station closes. The shop is on the North Shore. (more) (less)

Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG IF Aspherical Super Wide Angle Zoom Lens + Hoya 77mm UV Haze Protector Glass Filter + 6-Piece Cleaning Kit + Spudz Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - for Pentax Digital & Film AF SLR Cameras including ZX-5, ZX-7, ZX-30, *ist, *istD, *ist Ds, *istDs2, *istDL, K10D, K100D & K110D
Kit includes: 1) Sigma 17-35mm EX DG IF Aspherical Zoom Lens; 2) 6-Piece Cleaning Kit; 3) Sigma Spudz Microfiber Cleaning Cloth; 4) Hoya 77mm UV Protector Filter. ♦ Sigma 17-35mm Lens includes: Front & Rear Lens Caps; Lens Hood; Instructions; Sigma USA Warranty. ♦ The Sigma 17-35mm has an internal focusing system which eliminates front lens rotation. This makes it easy to use with circular polarizing filters plus it enables using a more effective petal-shaped lens hood to reduce flare as much as possible for more vivid images. It incorporates aspherical lens elements to minimize distortion and spherical aberration. With an impressive minimum focus distance of only 10.6 inches at all focal lengths, you are able to place subjects in the foreground to give a sense of depth to your scenic shots for truly creative and well-composed photographs. ♦ Digital SLRs such as the Nikon D40, D80 and D200 have a 1.5x Lens Factor and the Canon Digital Rebel XTi and EOS 30D have a 1.6x Lens Factor which makes getting true wide angle photos with a 28-80mm lens problematic. On 35mm Film Cameras and Full Frame sensor Digital SLRs, you get the listed focal length range without any sensor cropping. When used on cameras with a 1.5x lens factor you get a wonderfully wide 25.5mm to 52.5mm effective focal length zoom lens that's just what you need for scenic landscapes; family reunions; as well as terrific vacation and travel photos. ♦ Hoya UV Filters are made of optical glass and can be left on your lenses at all times — even when taking pictures. A filter prevents damage to the delicate surface coatings of the lens and shields the front element from scratches. A UV filter enhances image quality by reducing the adverse effects of ultraviolet light which can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy and indistinct. ♦ This Sigma Lens-plus-necessities Kit will help give you the amazing vacation, travel, and family photos you've always wanted.
