Month-Long Optional Theme: VIDEO

As I was singing (more like shouting) along with the radio in my car a few months ago, I realized that sound and motion are huge parts of a lot of people's days. DITL is not (nor will ever be) a video community, but I thought a month long theme for people who want to DITL in video could do so if they liked. So, for the rest of September and the first DITL day into October, you are welcome to post your whole day in video or just use bits of video in a photo DITL if you want! Enjoy!

For the video challenged who still want to participate, how to record video and what to do with it afterward:

Most point-and-shoot cameras and cell phones (and even a few DSLR's) now have video capability. In order to record a video, just set your camera to the video/movie mode, then press the shutter to begin recording and press it again to stop. Very few cameras will focus while zooming, so make sure you have your camera zoomed and/or composed before you being recording.

In order to get the movies you've made to your computer, you can usually download them or import them just like regular photos. I use iPhoto which lets me see them right in there with my still photos. You may even choose to edit them somewhat, chopping out bits you don't need, adding music or editing colors.

To upload them so others can watch them, you can use YouTube, Flickr or Vimeo which are all free. Just copy the 'embed' link and use the HTML tab when posting into the DITL community.
