I haven’t posted videos because my video making space has been torn up and I lost my voice. The floors are in, some new furniture is in place, and my voice is back.
I am easing into this video with a behind the scenes look at the basement and discussing my lack of inspiration.
A few months ago, YouTube announced they were hiding dislikes that can been seen on the video page.
I didn’t understand why some creators were against this change, so I dug in. Certain comments made me rethink some policy decisions on my own channel.
Moving forward, I am opening up comments on videos (not involving my family) in the hopes of having more interaction and making better videos that people want to see.
I had to interview the rudest and most ill-prepared subject of my life. I can’t stand being in the room with this guy.
This was an absolutely embarrassment. Both parties should be ashamed of this. This was the worst interview of my life.
Dave & Doug,
If you are looking for the axe throwing video, that video is going to go live on July 3rd.
You will find it at the following link (or right here on this site).
I found a two Canon FD lenses that I bought on ebay a while ago. I wondered if they would work with my Sony E-mount cameras, so I ordered an adapter ring and started playing around.
The lenses:
I took pictures indoors and out, and did some talking head video indoors.
My general conclusion is – while it is nice to play with old lenses, the new technology is far superior and makes life so much easier. You can not self-film/vlog with old manual lenses. I also really needed a ND filter outside.
People will often say “Don’t Boil The Ocean” when dealing with complicated efforts and projects. This is total BS.
Making “directionally correct” documents that don’t solve for outstanding data needs create a vicious cycle of manual work that is very difficult to break out of.
In difficult situations we SHOULD be talking about “boiling the ocean” and doing the hard work.
