I know you probably just set up this video and lucked out with that ambient lighting you were talking about, but this looks great! What camera did you shoot this on? Also, that's a funny story about the doctor almost forgetting to check you. I can imagine that was frustrating, but it's better to know then to learn six months into training, or even in the air
I timed the shoot to coincide with the best possible lighting. Fog around here is a nearly every-day thing. I waited until mid-afternoon so the sun was on the opposite side of the house and all the illumination was coming in reflected off the fog. It gave me the minimum of glare, a maximum of illumination and - since the fog layer here is rarely more than 100-200 feet thick - no significant impact on the color of the lighting. The camera's a cheap old USB webcam, but given that we're looking at color here, it shouldn't really matter. The dyes that are used as filters over the sensor elements on cameras has changed little in a decade. I'd even argue that this camera is a better choice than a modern GoPro, since a modern camera does a LOT of color processing - especially with regard to boosting saturation. Ever notice how snappy and sharp colors are on a GoPro? The fact that they produce an image that's more colorful than real life is the old Kodachrome marketing advantage.
