This isn’t your typical weight loss story. This is a story of reclaiming my health, one step at a time. After years of weight gain and unaddressed health concerns, I knew something had to change. This journey, fueled by low carb, zero sugar, and intermittent fasting, has been a challenge, but it’s also been a revelation.

My YouTube thumbnail game was terrible. After watching several videos on how to improve my site, I realized I needed a better method to make thumbnails.

I found a site called Canva and I am very impressed. The site makes thumbnail generation much easier than the other tools I have been using (like GIMP).

Canva is free, but there are several premium services you need to pay for. I share some other tools and tips to make due with what is available for free with Canva, but I do recommend the premium service, it makes workflow so much easier.

Neewer 18MM Adapter for Sony ZV-1

I purchased the Neewer 18MM adapter for the Sony ZV-1 last month.

At first I wasn’t sure if the adapter made the lens 6MM wider, but after a few tests… it really does work as advertised!

Check out the video to see the differences.

It happens to be on sale today for $55 – and I am not getting paid or any kickbacks for that!

Cleaning Your Camera Parts

Cleaning your camera can sometimes be a little scary (especially the sensor), so I am always looking for tools to make the experience better.

I recently bought a NiteCore tool called the “Blower Baby” (terrible name) and I share my experience with that device, as well as traditional blower bulbs, sensor cleaning sticks, etc.

Discussing Color Grading and LUTs

After my first experience with color profiles on my Panasonic G7, I steered away from changing the settings on the camera. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I just followed what other vloggers said to do.

The problem is… most vloggers what the most neutral color palette from the camera, so they can tweak the colors in editing.

Who wants to do extra work?

If you are using a few different cameras in the same video, I understand the desire to have the same color science through all clips, but I am sticking to the default settings.
