Baby video taken with Canon 5D Mark 2
Oct 11th
A good friend recently gave birth to a boy called Noah. So naturally I wanted to take a few photos. Surprisingly I took the Canon 5D Mark 2 with me and not my trusty Nikon D3. The reason? Because I still believe the Canon 5D MK2 is still the best all round camera (if you include the video feature). I believe I can take better images with my Nikon D3, however it doesn’t have the video feature that I so crave. Since having access to the 5D I’ve used every opportunity I can to take photos AND video.
Anyway, enough technical More >
External microphone for Canon 5D Mark 2, Rode Videomic
Sep 23rd
Because I intend to record alot of audio with the HD video from the Canon 5D Mk 2, the built in microphone within the camera is insufficient for my needs. Fortunately Canon have the foresight to include an external microphone jack which means any 3.5mm jack mic can be plugged into to improve the audio.
I’ve gone for the Rode Videomic. I’ve only just purchased it today from Amazon so i wont’ be able to do tests just yet but keep your “ears” open for an upcoming post with video/audio examples.
Update, I’ve just posted a very short video showing some of More >

I’ve been given a Canon 5D mark 2 to play with and I could not think of anything more interesting than my cat. The lens is a 24-105mm F4 L series. I hope you enjoy!
Why I believe Canon SLR video smacks Nikon’s arse!
Sep 17th
Yes, once more I’m back on my Canon Vs Nikon video SLR rant again.
Canon have recently released their budget SLR aim at the amateur. I can’t vouch for the photography quality as I think they pretty much trounce Nikon at the lower end anyway, however their video is far superior to anything Nikon have released!! I would even say the 550D video quality is as good as (if not better) than the Nikon D3s video quality!
Take a look at his promotion video released by Canon. It’s amazing!!! Nikon are just not catching up at all! I love my D3, but More >

A great little video. I won’t spoil it, but it’s great to watch!
You’re Beautiful by Phil Wickham. An excellent cover version.
Feb 19th
I’m a Christian and I’m proud of it. Just one of the many benefits are the awesome worship songs out there. You’re Beautiful by Phil Wickham happens to be one of my favourites. I was curious to see what others were doing with that song so I looked up a few on YouTube and found this guy Cory who’s from Oklahoma.
Not only does he remain true to the spirit of the song, but he’s also recorded it properly using proper recording equipment so the sound is much better than a tinny camcorder microphone. Anyway, click the video, have a listen More >
My very first Music Video. Decisions by Lost Minute
Oct 15th
With some help from a friend, a Canon HV30 camcorder, two very bright lights and some editing in Final Cut Pro I directed, produced and cut this video together. Let me know what you think!
Lost Minute, a little video I made.
Aug 30th
Lost Minute is a local band which I have only recently been aware of. Their debut single ‘Decisions’ is a song I enjoyed immediately. During their intimate gig yesterday in Aylesbury I brought along a Video Camcorder as well as my Nikon. I took it into Final Cut Pro, added a couple of filters and edited it together. Although I didn’t have much footage to work with (which I was aware of at the time) I was pleased with the slow motion effects I used. The hardest part was finding a setting that looked on Youtube and Facebook; there was More >
