Euro 4K
It’s vacation time again and I’m heading back to Europe for my forth time* and quite appropriate given my photo/film hobby I’m packing with me a Lumix GH4 which records in 4K (well true cinematic 4K and UHD). For the purpose of this trip I’m filming in UHD at 23.98 FPS which will allow me to match to my 1080p footage. Later I’ll look at doing true Cinematic 4K, but the GH4 only does that at 24FPS. That said I may find I have to switch to PAL (25FPS) or 24 if I find NTSC flickers as I’ll be in Europe rather than North America (that whole 60 vs 50 Hz electricity issue) – good thing the GH4 is a world camera and can swap between frequencies with a quick on/off.
*Assuming you consider UK as part of Europe which for my purposes I am. If not then I bounced through Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam on the way to Africa so count that instead 🙂
It’s been over a year since I was on a plane for a vacation, but really making up for it now with a trip to Eastern Europe.
Today is day 1 of the trip leaving Ottawa in the evening and doing an overnight. Once in Europe I’ll have a half-day to check out Prague before meeting up with the first BusAbout Tour.
Flying via Air France this time with actual flights on Air France/KLM/WestJet flights; with departures and arrivals that should minimized jetlag impact. Definitely worth the extra $50 CAD over other flight/operator combos.
Special thanks to my Travel Agent, Margaret Breau, from Adventure Travel Company / Merit for investigating and arranging the flights and navigating the tours to ensure I could jump from one to another, and dealing with my ever changing vacation dates.
Over the trip I’ll be trying to update the blog when I can, so please stay tune!
