Shooting with a Sony HVR-Z7U

Every opportunity I get to shoot with a different camera is a bonus. Today I’m in Truro shooting with a Sony HVR-Z7U. This was the world’s first HDV handheld camcorder that utilises a 1/3-inch bayonet mount interchangeable lens. The one I’m using has stock glass but I was able to

Apple TV

The future is now in my house! An early birthday gift to me was a 3rd generation Apple TV and so far I have been loving it. As is usual for almost every Apple product the set up was easy and it works like a charm. Found the wireless network, let

New cinema camera has potential

This is the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. It looks promising and has the potential to put professional feature-film-quality results within reach of those on a tight budget. It lists for $2,995 USD and although that’s not cheap what you get can take you a long way. Some of the Black Magic’s

Taking the Final Cut Pro X Plunge!

Why? Well, long story short I saw a really great plugin for $39. I figured with the Apple 30 Day Trial I had nothing to loose and might even walk away liking a NLE that really seemed to get a lot of bad press upon it’s release last year. My

My Fav iPhone Photography Apps

Not that I recommend leaving your DSLR behind but lets face it, digital photography has come a long way since the Kodak DCS 100. Photographers have a lot at their disposal and it’s only getting better and better. A new entry level DSLR goes for under $500 and some $350

GoPro HERO meets direct sunlight

Luckily it returned to normal. I didn’t really think about the sun hitting it until I checked the files later. I know some camera can be permanently damaged from exposure to the sun like this.

Extra Battery

Headed downtown this afternoon to see what I could find that was worth shooting. The waterfront is always a good bet and I was shooting in slow motion when a Navy helo went by. Lucky shot! But it wasn’t long before my battery low indicator started flashing. Bad on me

SANYO VPC-CA9/E9 HD Camcorder

Some footage I shot using a SANYO VPC-CA9/E9 HD Waterproof camcorder. It’s not the best camcorder around but if I was in a pinch to get a shot and water was involved I’d probably grab it. Not as good as my GoPro but it has a viewfinder and the audio
