Watch Thomas Heaton Pick His Shots in Iceland with a Midnight Sun

June 30, 2015 By Eric Reagan

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkdLmrQzhsc&w=700&showinfo=0&rel=0]

In this video, photographer Thomas Heaton travels around Iceland looking for just the right shot at a variety of locations. One of the unique aspects of Heaton’s video is that you feel like you are walking through the process with him as he tries to find just the right shot in just the right location.

You hear him say throughout the video that it’s worth the time to walk around and see what is there rather than just arrive and start shooting. Of course, the slow fading light in Iceland helps with that process too. As he points out, you might have 10 minutes to set up and get a sunset show in England (or the US) but Iceland gives you three hours of similar sunset light so you can wait for just the right moment.

Clocking in at over 16 minutes, it is longer than most YouTube tutorial videos; however, it is well shot and edited for those interested in the photographic process.

Syrp Genie Mini

The Syrp Genie is a fantastically simple device for creating complex time lapse sequences. I have a review forthcoming but, as a spoiler, I love it. The downside, however, is that it is rather bulky and costs over $800. [Read more…]

What happens when you walk out the door and leave your dog at home? YouTube user Mike The Intern decided to mount a GoPro on his dog (yes, GoPro makes a dog-mount) to find out what his reaction is like when he is left home alone.

The result is pretty pitiful. Watch the doggie-POV video above, which has racked up over 11 million views to date, to see and hear his reaction.

Have you ever left a camera on your pets while they are alone? What kind of things did you see?

This is promo video that shows off a very cool visualization of the camera inside the 41MP Nokia Lumia 1020. Featured in the segment is Nokia’s PureView technology, Backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, 6-element lens optics, 3x zoom, ball bearings from the OIS and the PureMotion HD+ display.

I think we need more ads like this in the camera world.

Selfies. Ah, selfies.

This video proves that all selfies should be accompanied by a making of documentary with the narration ripped from the Nat Geo channel.
