Excellent new DSLR training video for single operators from Dan Chung
I have known Dan Chung for many years. We both covered news in London at the same time so we were often stuck on the same doorsteps, for a snapper he was actually a nice fellow! Generally the video boys and the snappers kept themselves to themselves but occasionally we crossed the floor to speak...
Speaking at the Canon Pro Photo Solutions show in London on 27th October
Tweet I missed last year’s event as I was in the states probably but I am making this one, well the second day anyway. I will be speaking twice. Not sure times yet but I have two 1 hour slots. They haven’t told me what to talk about but I expect I will talk about...
The ultimate Cinema version of a Canon DSLR? A modified 1DMkiV by FGV-Schmidle
Whilst acting as DSLR DP for the re-shoots for Lucasfilm’s Red Tails for the Prague sectionsI used the Schmidle modified 7D. It was very impressive. The workmanship and conversion were incredible and it included impressive features like a 3-pin Fischer socket where the viewfinder was to remote start the camera using a LCS or RS-4...
A big thanks to the the company that rescued my website!
This is long overdue but I had to tell people about this as the service I got was above and beyond the call of duty and they literally saved my website after my host became unreliable and my site kept going offline… Sam Jadali of Host Duplex saw my site was offline and offered to...
My first look at the Gh2…Clean HDMI out?!
Today, amidst the disaster zone that is my house thanks to the WORST kind of cowboy builder who took my money and did sod all work, in fact did worse than that, he created work, quit 3 weeks in and left my house in a dangerous state with exposed still connected gas pipes, but more...
Sweet! Kino Flo to release $14 daylight and tungesten practical bulbs
Kino Flo 4 bank Divas and my Litepanel 1x1s are my favourite soft lights. They give off an exquisite light, especially the Kino Flo Divas. With the advent of DSLRs and their low light sensitivity I have not stopped using my lights, I just use a lot more practicals than I used to. The problem...
The new Panasonic GH2 and AG AF-100
Both have recently been announced. I have already talked a little bit about how I think the AG AF100 will or won’t affect the DSLR market. I am hoping to get one to try soon from Panasonic UK when I get back to England. I am very excited by it. I am already a GH1...

My continuing Leica M9 adventure
So far I have an absolute ball taking photos with my new Leica M9. It has gone everywhere with me and the results I have got have really pleased me so far. It’s really hard work compared to an SLR. Getting focus spot on and the framing right is hard. Exposure too is really tricky....
Nikon D7000…is the Canon monopoly finally being challenged?
Finally Nikon are stepping up to the mark. The D90 was the trailblazer. The first DSLR with movie mode. I had one, sold it about a year ago as it was very disappointing. I only ever shot one thing with it…this below..It actually put me off getting the Canon 5DmkII for 7 months due to...
Wireless HD streaming from HDMI or SDI…a very cool product
I have been dreaming of the day we can use our ipads and iphones to view live images from cameras being used on productions. That ipad screen is perfect for use as a monitor, but so far we can’t…but… Teradek, a company based out of Irvine California have come out with a damn impressive product....
