Can You See The Difference?

The prevailing wisdom is that 30fps 8K is pretty good but increasing your frame rate when shooting to 60fps is better. I’ve been doing intense testing of the Canon R5 & the R5C with the RF 5.2mm Dual Fisheye lens, and the perfect test situation was presented to me with a Jazz performance.

African Ride Jazz is an uplifting, joyous experience that is perfect for these post covid blues times, and with Spatial Audio, it will surround you!. It reminds you that life goes on and that smiles are also contagious. Part two, African Ride Jazz, performed recently at Smalls Jazz Club in Bangkok. This 5-minute cut of Dugu Kamalemba features Thong on bass, Yack on guitar 1, Darrell Kelly on guitar 2, Jakob Dinesen on saxophone, and Didier Mpondo on drum and vocals.

Smalls is a fantastic small club in Bangkok. In the owner’s words is described as, “Your moody multi-level neighborhood bar with a retro feel; featuring quality music, modern art, late-night dining and no-nonsense pours of serious alcohol.” If you plan to visit Thailand, Smalls is a must-see destination in Bangkok.
