  • Learning to see

    A wonderful video on a variety of things, including learning and teaching to see. Make sure to check out Edward Tufte’s website if you love such things. I learned a lot from his books (and I am still saving to attend a seminar).

  • New Zealand with a Nex-7

    New Zealand with a Nex-7

    What kind of lenses do you take on a trip to New Zealand? The choices could be many, depending on the camera system. The good thing is that I have a Sony Nex-7. There are not many lenses for the Sony E mount. That way the choices are not many. I have not many lenses…

This is possible due to the bigger than full HD video source made from the single picture recorded with the Canon Powershot S95. A…
