Just returned from the Open Video Conference. Well…actually it was two weeks ago. I’ve neglected my blog recently. I have some videos that I’m going to upload soon but for now I’ve got some great photos of the event available on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2065497&id=47401498 Here’s the Public link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2065497&id=47401498&l=c046c1a747 There’s a lot that I’ve got to …
Finally an official app from Kodak for DoF calculating. The best part about it, for me, is that they’re even representing the Super 8 gauge. This is not a full review but rather a first impressions guide. I’ll talk about each feature and I’ll have a wish list of things that would be good to …
