“Bad is Bad” full length feature film on Vimeo for FREE Shot on 7D
Not much in life is free these days, but this is and it’s worth your time. Bad is Bad is a pretty good little indie film. I watched not expecting much and thoroughly enjoyed it. Shot well, acting not bad and well directed. I wish the sound was more “hollywood” but that’s me being picky,...
Sony enters the video DSLR revolution FINALLY…a bit late but not too late!
What took you so long, Sony? It’s been almost 3 years since Nikon came out with the (admittedly, a bit poo) video function on the Nikon D90, and then Canon with their sexy as hell 5DmkII that just got better with updates (when they gave it manual control and 24p) There have been attempts at...
Future Nikon DSLRs Might Respond to Photographers’ Emotions
You might soon be able to control Nikon DSLRs using only your emotions.

ESSENTIAL: Technicolor Profile for Canon DSLRs is now available for download. Incredible latitude now on the Canons
I saw this at NAB and this looked great. The legendary Technicolor have created a custom picture profile for the Canons to get the best and flattest image out of the cameras.

50 year anniversary: Seattle Timelapse, The Space Needle
I had actually given up doing Timelapses from hotels rooms after my year long project “A Room With A View” finished around October last year. The results were fun but the constant clicking at night certainly was not!! It was lovely to have peace and quiet again! Then on my last night in Australia in...
