Elliot Allen Ames arrived on Earth around 3:20am this past Monday morning. Due to the planet’s gravity, he registered 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 19.5 inches long. His 2 sisters Savannah and Sydney, who had arrived on the planet 2 and 5 years prior, were delighted to finally fulfill their dreams to hold him in their arms.

    Great name and great video. Did you do that with your D90 or another camera? I thought one time you told me you had some kind of Canon HD camera.

    • dewde
      dewde December 5, 2009 at 3:05 am #

      Thanks Jay! I used the old reliable Canon HV20.

      You cannot pan with the D90 because of the rolling shutter issue. Also, with no autofocus while recording, the other half of the shots (the zoom ones) would be blurry because they would require a perfect manual focusing which is hard enough with an optical viewfinder and downright impossible with a LCD one.

      D90 takes purty pictures though!

    Love the name as well.

    Elliot Allen is a wonderous name, friend. I love it. Although, Kenneth or Billy Reuben were still sweet options. Love the video. If you feel like high-fiving your wife from a stranger in another state, do so on my behalf. God bless. :-)

      Zone defense? Ha! We’ve trained the oldest one. She’s on our side now so it’s still 3 vs 2.

      Booya.
