All Things Joey
Another day at Skytop Lodge.
This morning we decided to go for a hike with the kids. We heard rumors of a waterfall trail and sure enough we found a path to Indian Ladder Falls… but not without drama…
This was a very picturesque trail and easy for small children (as you will see in the video).
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).
My friends and family spend a few days at Skytop Resort up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
In this video we show what is going on at the resort’s activity lake and we let young Cole free with the Go Pro.
While the footage is not steady, the comments are priceless.
My self-education of videography and lighting continues. I recently purchased a black/white pop up background and a fairly professional light.
I did some experiments on both background colors with different lights to see if I could get desired outcomes… with mixed results.

This is a short video of me messing around with a new green screen.
I bought a pull-up style green screen (vs the bendable version) to see if it would be easier to set up and create less shadows (since it wasn’t hanging).
Set up was definitely easier, but lighting is lighting (unfortunately).

A quick follow-up on the “Old Canon Lenses” vlog I posted a few weeks ago…
Those over-exposed pictures really bothered me and I realized that the aperture blades in the lens were not moving when I moved the ring.
Canon FD aperture blades will lock at 5.6 if you don’t manually unlock them or make sure you have an adapter that has an unlocking mechanism. The K&F Lens Mount Adapter does have this feature.
Even though I figured out the issue, I am not sure if these manual lenses are for me. But I am learning more.
This video also has detailed instructions on how to unlock Canon FD aperture blades:
