Vids shot with my Triumph

We got just over 9 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. I figured I would try the video camera and shot some of the flooding in our neighborhood. This is minor compared to some areas in town.

Wow! Here in AZ we can't get enough, and you guys are flooding.

That video quality wasn't too bad actually. Are you on stock?

looks way better then the triumph video camera

As god is my witness, this was shot with my Triumph. I am using the camera program that comes with CM 7 Reloaded. The video of the creek was altered my Youtube to reduce the movement of the camera, as I was driving and trying to pay attention to the road. I did use the stock camera once in April when my son was in the hospital and that video was terrible compared to these. The camera program in CM 7 must be a better/different one.

Yeah, I wish we could send some your way to put out some of the fires.

This is a still pic taken of the street in front of our house during the storm with my Triumph. The lighting sucks but the overall quality isn't bad.

Looking good, looks similar to my videos running Froyocream Sandwhich.. I wonder, between CM7 or Froyocream Sandwhich, what allows for the better photos and videos?

were you "lucky" enough to see the Polar bear that had gotten out of the zoo? or the seal? haha

I'm in central MN, and I was watching the news and saw all the damage done, I am just shocked.

LOL, nope. I felt bad for the poor Seal I saw in the picture. It looked really scared. The Polar Bear and 2 other animals were sent to the Como Zoo in the Cities until the flooding subsides. The Zoo was a mess when I drove by yesterday morning. Here are some cool links:

Here are a few more pics taken 6/20 around 7am with my Triumph. No way I was going to get out and take pics, it was pouring, so they were shot through the windshield. This is the St Louis River. Kinda ironic, it's our 26th anniversary today and on our wedding day we had straight line winds and tornado's in the area.

if you analyze the 720p video from the triumph, you can see its not true 720. its more like 480x854 resolution, upscaled with a slight blur to hide the pixelation.

just like the HDMI output.

Maybe it really is 720p but the lense is so poor that it blurs everything, thats a possibility, but I don't buy that because even through the blurring you can make out enlarged "pixel" shapes. looks more like stretching 480 video into 1280x720 pixel space.

such a huge downside for me. I got the phone becuase I wanted to record 720 content for the work I do and edit it on the PC, adding saturation and stuff to liven it up. but the raw video captured ended up being so unusable I can't do anything with it. daylight, darkness, its all pixelated, 19fps or less and full of motion blur.


other than that rant, yes those floods were crazy.
