We’ve all discovered the joy of adding movement to our products. Whether it’s storytelling with families, capturing sports, making weddings more magical or spicing up corporate photography, adding video is enhancing our creativity and adding so much to our client’s delight. AND there’s a learning curve here, a pretty hefty one. So a piece at [...]
I spoke with Jim Tierney, owner of Digital Anarchy who makes Beauty Box Video. This great tool allows easy skin retouching of video. Jim tells us about the origin of the product and a bit about how it works. This is a G+ Hangout edited with Final Cut Pro X and Beauty Box.
I was talking to a friend of mine who recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix LX7 fixed lens compact camera and she wanted to learn how to use it as “more than a point-n-shoot”. There’s been a flood of high quality compact cameras hitting the market recently, including the Pentax MX1, the Fuji X20, the Sony [...]
I recently did a high school sports team photo session. I included some fun video and made a Hybrid eProduct for the team. It’s a new sort of Team Photo. The team loves it and I know it will sell. All good – right? Wait, there’s more! Another team was interested in my services and [...]
The last (4 of 4) in this series on the mechanics of shooting video. Having discussed video concepts via the GH3′s menu, explored the 3 video modes/file types, and identifying the shooting methods (automated vs manual) in the first 3 segments, the last stretch of this journey is about the options available within each recording [...]
There are 3 ways to shoot video on the GH3 (and GH2, G5, probably others). The first is iA which is the most automated, next is P-S-A-M, which is somewhat automated and third is Manual Movie Mode. The first 2 use the “red” button and the third uses the shutter release. We explore the ramifications [...]
The video (and audio) components of hybrid photography are way new to me, coming from a background in still photography. Having a few “recipes” for how to set up for video capture, and little knowledge to back them, I don’t feel confident in my ability to get great video in any circumstances. In my quest [...]
MarkToal, Hybrid Hero and expert on the GH3 describes what each of the menu items on the GH3′s Movie Recording menu are, what they do and the implications. What started as a menu tour became a video primer! Learn with me about recording modes, recording settings, wind cut, automated shooting modes and so much more! [...]
Sometimes my role models (among them are Will Crockett and Guilio Scorio) are intimidating. They don’t mean to intimidate me. I just don’t always have the confidence to see that both their way of operating as photographers and mine are valid. So I’m sharing to encourage you to do what I’m doing: Learn from the [...]
I want to introduce to you my latest acquisition – the Lumix LX7. It’s to be the “always with me” camera as well as my macro shooter. Given that I already have two GH2s and two GH3s and a GF3, why another camera? The LX7 replaces the GF3, and doubles as a very cost effective [...]
