In this vlog post I’m going to demonstrate how when you change the frame rate of your video clips, you can add emotion to your hybrid eProducts. When you change your frame rate or clip speed you can do it in camera or in editing. In this video I changed the frame rate in the [...]
Watch the video and read below to learn about a color temperature problem I had at a roller derby event that I recently photographed at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, Canada. Let me set the stage Camera: Lumix GH3 with 12-35mm f2.8 lens I took an in-camera custom WB using a shutter speed of 1/60s (i.e. [...]
