Basis of the Blog

This blog is an extension of Candid Captures. The intent, depending on the day, may be one of several different things. There will likely be entries directly related to a specific event that I was hired for, yet, there may be many entries just related to my personal photography or the equipment I use.

Hopefully there may be something here of interest to you and will peak your interest to check back every once in a while.

A Perfect Compliment





Being a avid photographer with a camera in hand almost everywhere I go, I never had much good to say about what some consider a competitor to still captures, namely video.

It's not that I despise it or anything like that, it is more that I never really thought it was practical. After all, think of all the things you need. A video camera, tapes, a player to play it back on, a television and a whole lot of time to watch it. And god forbid you actually wanted to share the video with say your cousin seven states over. It's not like it was easy to transfer the video to the pc and upload.

Compare that with photos, with all that can be done with them with relative ease.

Times have changed though, so i have learned today. Why? Because I ordered a Flip video camera 2 days ago and today it came in.

This little thing is amazing. In fact, I have been videoing all night and playing it back on a television. Total time to do that? Oh, about 30 seconds from the time I hit STOP on the recording. Yup, 30 seconds to plug the Flip in to the tv and I was playing for a roomful of guest.

They were so impressed that I bet two sales are genereated. :)
