DSLR Video Monitor

After a few days of using the LCD hood loupe Attachment on my DSLR, I’ve reluctantly come to the sad conclusion that it just isn’t quite good enough to reliably achieve accurate focus on videos when focusing the camera manually.

Photos have, and will always have, a place of importance in our lives, but videos capture life as it moves, breathes and lives. If a photo is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million.

Abby – Hamlin Beach State Park!

A week ago today (July 12th, 2019), I had the great privilege of shooting a swimsuit session at Hamlin Beach with the stunning Abby! Abby and I had talked about shooting this last summer, but the weather, schedules, and timing was off so we postponed it to this year. It was well worth the wait!
