First mobile post from iphone 4

First mobile post from iphone 4

So I have recently, see Thursday, been converted to the church of Apple. After watching H scooting around on her iPhone for the last year I had become increasingly jealous! So here we are, a brand new iphone 4, writing a quick post whilst we drive home from seeing the folks, before you panic I’m not driving and posting, I’m a passenger!  I loaded wordpress onto the phone, very fast it was, and here I am tapping away! It’s very easy to do, I have to admit to being impressed, particularly by the real time spell check. This is very helpful for people like myself who have club fingers. Viva la iphone!

My Videography Kit List for India

I will very shortly be on my travels to India as a videographer with Raleigh International.  I’ll be away over the summer for over 10 weeks and will no doubt face a number of physical, technological and emotional challenges. Eeeeek! It will be monsoon season for a start and I’m not entirely sure what to expect.

My thoughts on the Panasonic Lumix GH1

In May 2010 I finally dug deep into my pockets and purchased the Panasonic Lumix GH1.  Panasonic’s reputation for making outstanding video cameras is very well known. I personally got into videography using the Panasonic DVX-100 of which I’m still very fond. However I’ve recently noticed a positive boom in the number of videos created with DSLR’s and I love the depth of field and aesthetics displayed by many of the videos.
