My First Experience With A Hasselblad Medium Format Camera

Recently I was lucky enough to pick up a Hasselblad 500 EL/m from eBay. Surprisingly I only paid about $180 and it works perfectly. The only damage is has is some of the chrome parts are pealing, and the focus screen has some marks on it. Thankfully those do not effect the final images the camera produces.

The Hasselblad 500 EL/m for those who are not familiar with this type of camera is a Medium Format film camera that has a motor to move the film to the next from after an exposure

Luxebell C100 Aluminium Metal Skeleton Review

This is my review on the Luxebell C100 Aluminum Metal Skeleton for GoPro Hero 4 cameras. This is a metal case that can be used to protect the GoPro from being damaged while out of the waterproof housing. This is especially good for when you want to use it to make a video blog or interview since the internal mic is not being muffled by the waterproof housing. Watch the vid for the rest of the review and don’t forget to subscribe! Enjoy!!

Fast Review of the Rode VideoMic Go On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

This is just a fast review of Rode's VideoMic Go On-Camera Shotgun Microphone. This is just to show you how it looks and works. I'll be making a video later with sample audio so everyone can hear it.
I have used this mic to shoot a couple videos and it worked pretty good. I still wasn't setting up the camera settings exactly right so it didn't sound the best it could so thats the reason for another video test later.

Review of Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens

This is my first attempt at a gear review. I recently bought a Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens to replace my Nikon 55-300 DX lens.
I bought it due to upgrading to a Nikon D800 FX camera. The DX lens works on it but the results are not as good on that type of body.
So this is a real world testing of the Tamron lens. I have some pictures in the video but here is a link to them on my website so you can see them better due to YouTube compressing them in the video. http://bit.ly/Tamron70-300TestImages

I like the lens so far and its a good "upgrade" from the DX lens if your on a budget. So until I get the money for a better lens this will do for me. I paid under $150 for the lens which I didn't think was to bad. You can check it out here http://bit.ly/Tamron70-300Amazon



Website Overhaul

Today my site was reviewed on Tony & Chelsea LIVE! and boy what an eye opener. I was embarrassed when the site kept popping Tony back to the front page and not to where it should have taken him. So seeing that and the advice from the both of them I have started an overhaul of my site and what images that will be on it. I can't thank Tony & Chelsea enough for the eye opener!
