Glidetrack

This looks to be a great addition to any professional grip kit for medium size cameras. I think for the money this is a great way to step up your performance. The Glidetrack Shooter HD seems very light in weight and handy for travel. I'm sold.

Panasonic AG-AF100

2010-12-10T18:08:00.000-06:00

There is so much buzz about the new Panasonic AG-AF100 (American model) camera. I know it is going to be a great item for all us film lovers out there and I just have to share my excitement!

Heads up though, I would call up your nearest dealer and put your name on a list. It looks like it will be many months before they will trickle into the USA from Japan at a rate fast enough for general consumption. I looked into the cost and it will put you back around 5 grand, and that won’t include the lens adapter, but the plus side is that you will already have your own collection of lenses to choose from.

There are some amazing features on this camera! Lots of press and great demos are popping up on the internet. Please don’t just take my word, you should check it out for yourself. I wanted to share one of the demos though - I just thought this beautiful video shot by Jaume Miro shows off the best feature of the camera, which is the selective depth of field.

I hear a demo of the camera is coming to Modern Communications very soon and I can't wait to play with it :)

Tips and Advice: The Wedding Shopper's Choices (St. Louis Wedding Photographer)

2010-03-01T12:39:00.001-06:00

Greetings:

My greatest piece of advice is to use wisely your power of choice*.

In choosing your photographer or videographer, I suggest to look for a healthy balance of passionate and qualified. Having harmony is especially necessary on this very important day and I encourage you to try to remember this as you do your homework; you are deserving of that connection.

Ask for proof of integrity and examples of professional standard and look out for deals that are too good to be true. It is possible these days to be allured by the use of over-used Photoshop filters to compensate for quality and inexpensive rates to compensate for experience.

Memories last a lifetime and I encourage you to listen to your intuition when shopping for the right choice of photographer and videographer. One of the best attributes about being in love is the memories than come from sharing it. Believe in the choices that shape these memories.
