shutter angle question

I've read that a reduced shutter angle can be good for static shots of moving water... it really crispens up the flow. I've never tried it myself, but in theory it makes sense.

Makes sense. I've achieved that affect you're talking about...and does have to be a static shot of water moving as you say....

I did it by "strobing" the video image at 15 FPS from the normal 30 frames per NTSC second...but you must do it in the "frame" mode or you lose half the resolution if you only do it in the "field" mode.

It really made the orange koi fish jump out of the water. (not in reality, just on the screen)

If you're project is going direct to video, it may make sense to shot at normal speed and add the effect afterwards.....although it is "gutsier" to just tried and get it right to begin with.

I think shooting at 15 frames per second and transfering at 15 frames per second may achieve the same result, and save you film...although then your shutter will be open longer...or will it....wow, that's confusing.

Uh oh, I think I bought Your Canon 814XLS from you on e-bay last summer....

It too has a 220 degree shutter angle!, yet you sold it...hmmmmmmmm

Now I'm worried....is this the camera you dropped into the dam??....

No, I shot my film with the Nikon R-10.
I sold my Canon 814XL-S & my 1014XL-S because they were too noisy, not because I didn't like the 220 shutter angle. I like everything else about the Canon's, but I just refuse to shoot with a noisy camera, after my dreadful experience with camera noise in Lost Tribes. Seem my comments in the blimp thread, for what I had to do to deal with it, and the syncing up sound part too. Total nightmare.
