Grainy Dragon at Large in Krakow!

I shot this video several weeks ago when Jenn was here on her spring break. I made two mistakes when filming this video:
  1. I rotated my camera, forgetting that my camera does not have a built in utility for reorienting videos1
  2. I neglected to verify the quality settings for video recording
Smok Wawelski2

(I recommend turning your sound on if it's not already.)

Lesson learned: make sure your camera's video settings are set to high before paying the zlote to text the dragon to make him breathe fire.

1Obviously I managed to flip him around using video editing software.
2Smok is already awesome because he's a dragon. Imagine how awesome he would be if he were a dragon with an alliterated name! He would be the pinnacle of awesomeness!

Oh dave, that is so ... so ... I can't even describe it.

Couldn't you just have paid another 30 cents for another firey go?

I could have I suppose... but unfortunately I didn't realize my folly until after we'd left Krakow. Perhaps when my parents are here in a few weeks we'll make it to Krakow and I'll be able to shoot a sequel.

Besides, it didn't cost 30 cents... the exchange rate is so bad right now it was more like 37.

Oh...wait...postal rates have gone up twice while we've been out of the country.
