There's no one to impress here and I think video blogging is just more fun when you wing it. That said, I went to Farm Days in Forreston to see the alpacas. Actually my wife Rachel wanted to see the alpacas and I wanted to try out my new video gear.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Did I mention that I sold off my pro camcorder and bought a Canon 7D DSLR? Well, I did. And it looks fantastic! I'm still learning the controls and settings so this video is a bit overexposed. So here it is, alpacas at Farm Days in Forreston, IL. I know it's not "Freeport", but it's in the area so it counts.</span></span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/15309103" width="400" frameborder="0" height="225"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/15309103">Alpacas at Farm Days Forreston, IL</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3886594">Ash Ahrens</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7057793303297994079-8337278323006929049?l=freeportvideo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ash Ahrenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03503498324763741915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057793303297994079.post-59583167703595313392010-09-01T21:52:00.000-07:002010-09-08T21:49:10.487-07:00<span style="font-size:130%;">I've been very busy this summer traveling and working on side projects but I'm back on track with some more Freeport area events.
