Once you’ve placed something on your lens like the new LCW Digi Pro Variable ND filter, which can start at 77mm and end in 82mm, you can no longer use the standard hood on your lens. Most likely you’ll be using ND filters because you’re outdoors on a bright day trying to cut down light. [...]

Big ups to CineGrain for sending out some fun and creative software. I’m trying to find time to install this massive collection of stuff that comes in it’s own hard drive. I think this thing is over 100GB of film grain goodness, and this isn’t their most extensive package.

I’ve always said that since Adobe Lightroom hit version 3, one of the things it does best is Noise Reduction. Don’t fear shooting photos in high ISOs if you really need to, you might be able to save it. One thing Lightroom 3 does well is to edit even compressed JPEG files in a somewhat [...]

This is helpful trying to get your camera’s horizon straight, especially when it’s too dark to view the little bubble on your tripod. Also helpful to know when your Steadicam is flying straight. Here’s a clever little 3 axis electronic leveling device [...]

First look at a very new product (unreleased) (Patented Pending) that I showcased a few days back. Leo said it looked like a Canon 60D on steroids. Camera mounted is the Canon 7D. This is a prototype version and as far as I know, a very original product idea. I can’t really talk about specs [...]

For the average person Tape is Tape. Then there are the professionals that use several rolls of tape daily in big production environments and have certain requirements. They can tell the cheap stuff from the good stuff. Great tape should tear easy, hold strong, be heat resistant, and come off clean – no residue. In [...]

If you’re not up to speed, I seem to collect random camera related things, especially Lens Replica Mugs. They are fairly cheap and trust me, they make ‘EXCELLENT last minute gifts’ if you have them laying around. It’s just something nobody wants to throw away. For those who share the same hobby, here’s a look [...]

This is so random, but might also be useful. For people with kids, how often have you looked at that BOB Jogging Stroller and thought ‘This would be ideal to carry some gear‘. Of course no matter how well you dress it up, there’s no hiding the fact that it’s still a baby stroller.

After recently posting up the Palo Alto adapter from PhotographyandCinema.com, I decided to take mine out for a spin (literally). With this little adapter and a cheap Shurline Pole, you can get some really cool views in both Photos and in videos. It’s more than strong enough for something like the Sony HX9V. This time [...]
