In all the years of owning a Canon 5dmk2 I have never touched the video side, but it is fair to say that in a world full of visuals and high demands, knowing or being able to offer everything is key. Video is something I have been avoiding till now, this trip was a going to change that as I have the time to try and learn without a "job" being in the way.

So this is my first effort. The video is from our 52 hour (ended up being 60 hour) Amtrak train trip from Chicago to San Francisco, and as taking stills through a speeding train and dirty glass was proving difficult I thought "why not?" Anyway, I hope it gives you a flavour of what we saw and enjoyed.
