Denmark under attack - European, US, NATO missile defence...

The Danish company Terma had a part in this Lockheed Martin video about the European missile defence system. Jutland is the target - maybe the Iranians (or whoever they are) have their eyes and minds set on killing employees of McDonalds restaurants or something. There doesn't seem to be much logic in the targets - maybe Terma headquarters in Lystrup is the target :)

Low level flying in an F16 - Royal Danish Airforce...

As with other military equipment, the Danish F16s are constantly being updated. This time a so-called M6 software update to improve low level flying. The test is done in Norway and the pilot is around 100 meters off the ground.

It would be fun to try flying one of these at least once :)

Kúra - Debut album coming April 30th, 2012...

Kúra is an electronica trio consisting of two Islandic cousins - Producer Brynjar Bjarnfoss who grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark and Singer Fanney Ósk Þórisdóttir from Reykjavik, Iceland. The last member is Rasmus Liebst, Denmark.

The playlist consists of four tracks: Gógó and Einstein (from the 2010 EP) and Anchor and Joe from the upcoming debut album scheduled for release April 30th, 2012.

This sounds very interesting. All their tracks have a very destinct sound...

Isco Ultra Star CinemaScope with Jupiter 11A 135mm f/4.0...

Another short lens test with an old Russian Jupiter 11A 135mm f/4.0 lens.

Field of view and sharpness can be compared with the 50mm Canon EF that I used in this video: vimeo.com/39935675

The Jupiter has a minimum focusing distance of 1m but it wouldn't focus well through the Isco at anything closer than 2m - so that is what the first two shots are.

The Jupiter's aperture has 12 'blades' that are rounded, so that the bokeh looks perfectly round at all apertures. The lens has a lot more contrast than the Helios 44M-4 58mm f/2, that I ordered a while back.

The Jupiter is slightly soft but for video, I like that. I think, I might use this with the Isco from now on too.

I have ordered a couple Canon FD lenses. A 50mm SSC f/1.4 and a 100mm SSC f/2.8. I hope they work with the Isco too.

Footage is straight from the GH2. The only thing done is post was the squeeze to 1920x608. The Isco is a 1.7x anamorphic lens.
