Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I saw a guy on YouTube talking about using an iPhone as their main camera, instead of buying expensive cameras and lenses for photography and videography. I commented that I've been using several iterations of the iPhone to do that!

I've talked about it on my blog years ago. Since I couldn't afford a camera, using my iPhone was the next best thing. Sometimes, I'd even use my iPad. In fact, using the iPad is much better as the screen is much bigger for editing.

I discovered earlier that the iPhone camera is quite good. I use it mostly for my unboxing videos. I prefer bigger storage spaces. The most important thing was the free editing app available on the iPhone, the iMovie. I love the iMovie app.

Sure, there are many other good so-called 'free' apps. But, they sometimes come with watermarks and are worse now with the trial version. Which really sucks. They used to be totally free. I used to enjoy using the GoPro free app. Now, I don't use them.

I also have a Samsung Android phone. Sometimes, I use it for photography and videography. Now, you can use Google or Samsung free video editing software. They're good, too, and free. But, iMovie is still the main driver for me. 

In the early days, my iPhone used to stop working in the middle of my editing like my computer constantly froze. I'd have to redo it again unless I had saved it. It was really exasperating. My computer wasn't the high-end type.

I didn't know it back then but if you want to do heavy video editing, you should get a high-end gaming PC or laptop. They usually offer the best CPU and GPU. The minimum is 16GB of Rams. I'm using my gaming PC right now. That is my main daily driver.

My PC seldom hangs when I use it for video editing. It has 16GB of RAM and has it for over 5 years. Think of upgrading to the latest available. I don't use it for video editing now as I'm running out of storage. Currently, I'm using my Apple Macbook Pro M1 Pro.

The Apple MacBook is good. But, it's damn expensive. I took a plunge as I wanted a good laptop for video editing. As always, it has the iMovie for video editing. That's one of the reasons I decided to get a Mac. I have the 16GB version but if I had the extra dough, I would have chosen with more rams.

The MacBook Pro laptop was useful when I brought it along on vacation. I edited my photos and videos when we returned to our Airbnb house. I didn't have to wait to return home. Check out these videos which I took using my Nikon Zfc and edited on my Mac.

I've been making videos for my YouTube channel for years. There are over 1000 videos. I wasn't into YouTube in the early days. I just upload random stuff. It was only later on that I began to do unboxing videos and learn about video editing etc. 

Oh yes, the rain has finally stopped!

My New $200+ budget Nikon Z8 Camera Rig #nikonz8 #camerarig

SmallRig Night Eagle Z8 Camera Cage Kit for Nikon Z 8, Aluminum Alloy Full Camera Cage, with Quick Release Plate for Arca-Swiss and Cold Shoe Mount for Microphone and Light - 4317

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, I got some of the parts needed to build my own Nikon Z8 camera rig. And it only cost over $200+ including my new Feelworld field monitor. I'm still waiting for my top handle though. The handle that I ordered before was canceled.

A good thing as I realized I'd prefer a different design. That will allow me to fit my monitor in front instead of on the top side. This would be more ergonomic and look much nicer. I learned this from one of the YouTube videos. lol.

SMALLRIG Top Handle with Locating Holes for ARRI for Camera Cage, Ergonomic Design, with Anti-Off Designed Cold Shoe Adapter - 2165C

Another thing is that I bought a wheel-type side handle for my rig. It looks nice and feels good to hold. Also, it helps me to hide my HDMI A TO A cable inside it. Pretty nifty. I can't use the cable included with my Feelworld monitor as it's an HDMI A to mini.

The wheel is also light. On the right side, I decided to use the hand strap that I already have. Surprisingly, it's not that heavy. Even with the monitor fixed. I'll weigh it once everything is done. I also think it'll make my video more stable now. 

Nitze Wheel Side Handle with 3/8” ARRI Locating Screw and Detachable Locating Pins, Compatible with DSLR Camera Cage

Now that I have a camera rig, I decided to buy a bigger camera backpack. I found one from the K&F Concept camera backpack. It is 32L size with a shoulder bag included. You can use the shoulder bag instead of carrying the whole backpack, when out and about during traveling.

I want to use that shoulder bag to put the camera rig inside. A hassle to take the rig apart, especially on travel. Well, I'll still have to take out the monitor. I won't need it all the time. I discovered while traveling, my family won't wait for me. So, I'll have to be fast.

Making a cinematic story or video doesn't have to travel to faraway places. That's my conclusion. Currently, my philosophy and style is about the daily grind of life. The little things that we do every day. Your home is a good start to create something with your camera.

I like to dabble with my camera and test a lot with it. What's better than to test taking pictures and videos in your home? It might not seem much but I've watched others do it and they can evoke emotion in you. A feeling of nostalgia or loneliness etc.

FEELWORLD S55 V3 6 Inch DSLR Camera Field Monitor Bundle - FHD IPS Screen, 4K HDMI in/Out, Tilt Arm, Power Output, Battery & Carry Case Included

I bought the field monitor to see and take a video of myself. You can turn it around and see yourself on the bigger screen. My Z8 view screen can't be used for selfies. Not like, my Nikon Zfc. If you don't have someone to be or act in your video, you can?

I watched a video where a photo looks even better with a subject in it. So, you can do a bit of your own acting in your video. Of course, it's always better to use a tripod. You can adjust the tripod height or put it at an angle taking a video of you. You don't even have to show your face. Cool!

NIKON Z8 MIRRORLESS CAMERA 

(All links will open up in a new tab)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm loving my new Nikon Z8. I just made another 'Cinematic' video using the Z8. At first, I didn't want to say that it's cinematic but after a while, and watching it repeatedly, it is cinematic. Watch it and tell me what you think. I'm still learning to master the camera.

The more videos I make, the more I'll learn. If you see some noisy parts, I didn't realize it while filming. Later on, I discovered that recording in N-Log you still need to do some settings. I decided to include the videos as it would look kinda interesting.

David Busch's Nikon Z9/Z8 Guide to Digital Still Photography (The David Busch Camera Guide Series) Paperback – June 4, 2024

Someone commented that my video did look interesting. Lol. He also asked me what lens I was using. I told him my primary lens was the 50-250mm Nikkor Z dx. It is my favorite lens as I can zoom between 50 to 250mm. I want to get the latest 28 to 400mm.

I love using a zoom lens. But, after making some videos, I want to try using prime lenses. My favorite is the 28mm. I also have a Viltrox 13mm and an AstrHori 50mm lens. Nikon has some new lenses that I'm interested in. If they're expensive, I'll look at other third parties.

Shop the latest AstrHory lenses for your camera.

As I've said, currently I'm using the 50-250mm lens. Now that I've done several videos, I should try a different range of lenses. See, which one will make a better video or which one I like. Using my Nikon Zfc with the 28mm makes me realize that 28mm is my favorite.

I discovered that the 28mm is best for close-up. Most of the videos I took were close-ups. When using the 50-250mm, I had to re-adjust my distance many times. Although, even when I can go nearer, I prefer zooming. Anyway, I feel like, I'm slowly learning to use my personal preferences and style.

Shop the latest Viltrox lenses for your camera.

The most important thing is that I'm enjoying the process. I'm learning to take videos with N-Log and using the latest video editing software, Davinci Resolve. Luckily, they have a free version. I might buy the full version, down the line.

I don't use Adobe or Lightroom since you have to pay monthly. I don't mind paying a one-time fee for a full version like the old days. Why should I pay a monthly payment for the same things? Unless I'm a pro and earning money, I might consider it. 

Shop the latest camera cage here!

I have finally got myself a camera cage and other accessories. It's mainly because of my budget. I would have bought a gimbal if I had the money. Also, it's better since, I'll be using a camera monitor. A gimbal would be a hassle with the camera fit on it, to bring around.

On a holiday, I usually take more photos than videos. If I use a gimbal, it'll be weird to do photography. Using a cage will be much better. And, if I want to take videos, I can see better with the monitor. That's my take anyway. I'll see how it goes on my next travel.

I took this picture using my Nikon Z8, 50-250mm lens. jpeg format edited in Nikon Nx studio. I like it. What do you think?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to do a videography on my new camera, the Nikon Z8. I'm still learning and trying out some settings. I did a reasonably good job. I've been checking out some other videos on YouTube and I got an idea of what kind of video I wanted to do.

I currently have a problem with my left knee. So, I can only walk a little. Been itching to go out and try out the Nikon z8. I've been wanting to do a video during the rain. I used to hate the rainy season. I prefer the beautiful blue sky for photography.

David Busch's Nikon Z9/Z8 Guide to Digital Still Photography (The David Busch Camera Guide Series) Paperback – June 4, 2024

Later on, I realized that rain can be a positive thing. It can add a bit of drama to the photo or video. We can use natural light to make the picture more in-depth. That's what I believe anyway. This is my first try and I hope there'll be positive feedback.

Of course, I don't expect everyone to like it. Everyone has their own preferences. Sometimes, that's one of the reasons stopping me from taking photographs or making a video. I always wondered why I even bothered. Then again, why should I care what others think as long as I'm happy?

You can't please them. Anyway, I've been uploading videos on my YouTube channel for a long time. Some popular videos got high views. Because of YouTube's new #short videos, most views have dropped. My video views significantly dropped too.

One positive thing from the #shorts video is that it helps me get more subscribers. I also get many views from my #short videos. #short videos are easy to make and quick to upload. So there are cons and pros to YouTube's #short. You just need your phone to take videos and upload them.

I love making videos. That's why I decided to get the Nikon Z8. Yes, it's expensive. But, it's an investment. I'm still new to photography but the Z8 can make me a better photographer and videographer. It's a great hybrid camera if you love both.

My first camera was the Nikon Coolpix P950. I love the zooming capabilities. Watch this video I made with the P950. The second camera I bought is also a Nikon, the Zfc. I love the Nikon Zfc too. One of my favorite photos and videos I took in this video.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Mirrorless Lens

I used the Nikkor z dx 20-250mm to take the video. I plan to get the latest 28-400mm for my z8. I love the prime 28mm lens that came with my Zfc. I want the 28mm lens and the 400mm range. I've used the zoom in my P950 that's why I love lenses with different zoom capabilities. 

I'm getting the gimbal or the cage for my z8. But, they are pretty expensive. Using a handheld seems ok. If you plan to take some action videos, you certainly need them. I'm still testing and doing my own research to make good videos. If you like my "Morning Rain" video pls like and share!

Yup! I love my Nikon Z8!

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera || 24-2000mmLens || 16 MP || Built-in Wi-Fi || Vibration Reduction + Camera Kit Special Including 64GB Memory, Spider Tripod, Photo/Video Editing Package & More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I haven't gone out for a while with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I've been itching to. But, the pandemic is still on and there's been news of new covid clusters. In malls and bus interchanges. Many bus drivers and staff got the covid-19.

In fact, one of the places that I recently went to was classified as a new cluster. My friend and I were damn lucky to escape from not being infected. We even went to the mall to have our dinner. If you're not gonna get it, you're not gonna get it.

The good thing is that both I and my friend are already fully vaccinated. All of my family and near relatives have been vaccinated too. That doesn't mean, we stop wearing masks or being careful. My relative's son-in-law and his mother recently died of covid.

I think both of them didn't get the chance to get vaccinated. So, if you have the chance to be vaccinated, go for it. Don't listen to that anti-vax. It's not worth risking yourself and your family over political or opinion differences. Use your common sense.



Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera

Anyway, every evening sometime when I look at the sky from my window, the view is pretty amazing. I've taken some pictures and videos with either my Samsung Note 10+ camera or now with my P950. Since I've bought some filter lens, I thought I'll try them out. 

I decided to use the variable Neutral Density Adjustable ND Filter lens that I've bought. That's actually how I got the red version of the sky. You can watch it on my #Shorts video here. I'll also post some of the pics below. I only took a few.

Again, I'm an amateur photographer and only recently bought my first point-and-shoot camera the Nikon Coolpix P950. Although I mainly bought it because of the cool superzoom capability, I've always been interested in taking good photos.

That's why I bought all sorts of filter lens and still dabbling with the P950 menu settings. There are still lots of things, I'm not sure of. I've been reading lots of info on using a camera but, I can't quite get a grasp of some things. I'm not really in a hurry though. It's becoming my new hobby.



Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body (Black) 1675 with 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR NIKKOR Z DX Lens (Silver) Bundle with Deco Gear Microphone + LED + Filter Kit + Backpack + Photography Accessories

By the way, have you guys seen the latest Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera? God damn, I love the design alone. I want to get it when I got the money. It'll be great if you're on holiday or just out and about. It's definitely lighter than my P950 although, you can't zoom far with it. 

Check out the evening sky photos that I've taken with my P950 using the variable ND filter below:

Kinda cool to play around with the ND variable filter. You can make the scene brighter or darker. For the P950, I tried it on auto and the night scene. I think it looks nice. Of course, that's my opinion. Also, you don't have to go out to take great sky photos.

We can take great photos from our own near surroundings. Only that, we didn't notice it. I only really start looking at things now that I have a camera. Before, like everyone else, I didn't see the beauty in everyday things. In today's fast phase world, it's time to slow down and enjoy the very simple things in life.

Nikon COOLPIX P950

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm really happy with my last outing and having fun taking pictures and videos with my Nikon Coolpix P950. Some people say, the quality of the pictures is not that good especially in low light but I'll post some pics below to show you and let you see for yourself.

I've always been amazed at photos taken by famous photographers. I also like some videos that you can watch on youtube. I like the one with a little bit of artistry in it. A few natural or lighting effects to make it more interesting. I'm not talking about CGI effects if you're wondering.



Nikon COOLPIX P950

I've always wanted a camera because of the inspiring photos and videos that I've seen. I want to be able to take good quality photos but more importantly, be a photography artist. I'm not good at drawing, so using a camera to make art is much easier.

Okay, it's not that easy. Like, I waited for the sun to set so that I can take beautiful pictures of it but because it was going to rain, it didn't show up. It was cloudy and only a little light was available. I still took some photos and videos but couldn't end it with the main event.



Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera || 24-2000mmLens || 16 MP || Built-in Wi-Fi || Vibration Reduction + Camera Kit Special Including 64GB Memory, Spider Tripod, Photo/Video Editing Package & More

Luckily for me, it only rains after I reached home. My lady friend though was totally drenched as it rains before she could make it home. Yes, next time bring an umbrella, especially if you know it's going to rain from the weather forecast. Lol.

Before I forget, you can watch my outing video here. I didn't do any kind of editing except for the last few shots where I used the variable neutral density adjustable filter. There are too many pictures, so I'm kinda lazy to edit them. Except, when I posted individually on social media. 



Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera MFR 26532 Bundle + 128GB High Speed V30 Memory + Video U-Bracket + Bag, HD Filters & More

If you upload your pics on social media, you can use their editor to add more color or use different kinds of lightings. Now, I try using different kinds of settings when taking photos or videos with my P950. I like the ability to choose the color and also the choose the lightings.

It'll make your pictures a little more interesting or different. Instead of just those normal mundane pictures. As a beginner, I'm really loving this camera. It's not just learning about using it but getting more experienced in getting great pictures.

Another thing is that the Nikon Coolpix P950 really got a lot of attention from people. An older gentleman even came over to ask me about the camera. His daughter recommended he get the P950 especially since he likes to go bird watching. 

The 83x superzoom is really cool. I forget to tell him that it can even be used to zoom to the moon. For nature lovers, this camera zooming capability is really good. In fact, the P1000 3000mm zoom is even better but much heavier than mine P950 2000 max focal length.

Anyway, check out some of this night pictures that I took last Sunday below:

Someone asked my HP Pavilion AMD Ryzen 7 laptop version. Does it matter?

HP 2021 Pavilion Laptop, 15.6" FHD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (>i7-10710U), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Webcam, B&O Audio, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, Backlit Keyboard, Fingerprint, Numeric Keypad, Win 10 Home

Hey guys,

Check it out!

In my HP laptop youtube unboxing video, I received a lot of questions about the product. I do expect questions about it. Some asked valid interesting questions, some just mundane stuff that they will know if only they had watched the video.

There's one idiot, that accused me of lying about my laptop having a fingerprint sensor when obviously he hadn't actually watch the part where I set up my laptop fingerprint security sensor. Yeah, you get lots of nonsense and dislikes from your viewers. Part of being a Youtuber.

The first thing is that I'm not officially sponsored by HP. Second, the HP laptop in the unboxing video is not mine. I recommended my friend to get it. He wanted either from HP or another company brand. Can't remember which right now.

My friend had a budget and I found one that's a little similar to my own HP laptop which I bought a couple months ago. Or was it last year? It's last year. Check out the unboxing video here. Anyway, I got mine during a sale price offer. Though, my friend's specs are much better.



HP Pavilion 15 Laptop: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 512GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, Windows 10

My HP is not the Pavilion series. I'm not sure but it seems they don't sell it anymore. Can't find the laptop being sold anywhere. My friend actually wanted the Intel version but I told him to get the AMD Ryzen 7 but with the 4700U processor. Had to convince him it's better than Intel. Lol.

He got lucky in that instead of sending him the 512GB SSD they send him the 1TB SSD version. I would love the extra 512GB SSD storage. I'm only left with 100GB and with my new photography hobby, the pictures and videos are taking up space.



HP OMEN VR Ready Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144hz Display, AMD R9-5900HX 8-Core, GeForce RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 2TB PCIe SSD, USB-C/MINI-DP/HDMI/RJ45/SD-Card Slot, Mytrix HDMI 2.1 Cable, Win 10

If I have the money, I'll want to try out the HP Omen gaming laptop. I game once in a while and that specs would make my video editing fly. My current laptop only has 8GB ram and it kind of stutters a bit when I do video editing. That's why I told my friend to get the 16GB Ram version.

He's not a gamer but the HP Pavilion AMD Ryzen 7 4700U comes with Radeon Vega 10 mobile graphics. It's good enough to play some triple-A games with lower resolution. I also told him with the specs, it'll probably last him 5-10 years.



2021 Newest HP Pavilion 15.6" FHD IPS Non-Touch Laptop, AMD 6-Core Ryzen 5 4500U Up to 4.0 GHz (Beats i5-1035G1), 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCI-e SSD, 720P Webcam, WiFi, HDMI, Win 10 Home + Oydisen Cloth

Frankly, I don't know why people want to ask me about the version of the laptop that I've bought. If you want to buy a laptop, get the best specs with the budget you have. Doesn't even matter if it's HP or any other kind of brand. Ok, maybe because HP not sponsoring me. I'm still waiting, HP.

My dream gaming laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with AMD Ryzen 9.  With a slight change in preferences. I'll prefer a 15.6-inch screen. I love the Anime matrix but maybe it sucks up the battery or something because seems like they're not selling it anymore.

I get it that some after seeing my laptop unboxing video, wanting something similar, but even the price won't be the same. There's this kid who keeps posting on several of my videos asking where he can get it. He should just get something similar like my friend did and maybe a chance to get a much better offer.

As promised, here's the video clip of the beautiful big badass black lizard that caught my eyes just as I was walking briskly, passing by it. I'm in a botanic garden, so it's probably already used to be surrounded by humans. The way it chills as I took a video of it.

I was the only one taking videos of the lizard. Precisely, why I like going around taking pictures and videos during normal working days. If it were the weekends, the place would have been full of noisy weekenders. It'll be worse if there were pesky kids.

The botanic gardens I went to were relatively quiet and it was in mid-afternoon. But, the sky was still grey and moody. I managed to take loads of pictures and a little more after re-charging my one camera battery for a while. 

I'm glad, I was able to re-charge my battery with my power bank or I wouldn't be able to record video of the lizard. Using a power bank to re-charge my Nikon Coolpix P950 is too slow. Nowadays, there's fast charging, but I'm not too sure how fast is fast.

I still haven't got myself extra camera batteries. I'll get it soon. Meanwhile, I'm just being mindful of using too much zooming and taking unnecessary photos. I actually don't like using the burst mode. Ok, maybe because I don't want to waste space and battery. Also, I'm not used to using it.

I'm still new to using a point-and-shoot camera like the P950. The only settings I've been using are the Scene, close-up and single shot. I switch between auto a lot. And, I always play with the light compensation. Especially, in the moody weather.

Now, I'm thinking of getting new camera filter for different effects. I also need to learn to use the other types of settings available on my camera. Browsing through the P950 online manual makes me realized there's more to it then just using the scene and auto.

I might want to try out the P, S, A and M modes. I'm actually afraid to use them. I don't want to fck up my pictures and videos. But, now since, I've already taken loads of pictures and videos for my youtube channel. I'm ready to try them out next time.

I really need to get out more and test the camera further. I'm a lazy homeboy but having this camera makes me want to go out and play with it. This is basically my new hobby or interest. I'm actually thinking of maybe setting up a new channel just for photo and video-graphy.

I love sharing the pictures and videos I have taken with the camera. I'll learn more as time goes by and maybe you can even see the difference in image and video quality throughout the years. If you have visited and watch my youtube videos, say hi or give me tips if you want to.

I can't leave the comment open on my blog because there are too many spammers. You can drop me an email on my contact sections. I just remembered asking someone several decades ago sending her mountain pictures. I love mountains and natural landscapes. I might take them myself one day.

What you guys think?

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Botanic gardens - Ever seen a Big Badass Black Lizard?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went to my local botanic gardens and took some pictures and videos with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I dabble a lot with the setting, switching between Auto and Scene. Especially, for the close-up shot. Personally, I really like the pictures and videos that I took. Have a looksie here!

I'm still not sure what I'm doing. The LCD screen is not really helping as they don't really show the quality of the picture I've taken. Sometimes, I'll think the picture is a little washup but when I upload to my PC or laptop, they actually look great. I'm glad, I didn't delete a couple of those shots.

I'm learning though. I like playing with the ISO. It's easy to access and quickly adjust the lighting. I also keep forgetting that I'm already using the UV filter. So, the pictures are already affected by the filter. Which gives the pictures and video a little more color.

Take a look at the pictures and videos and tell me what you think here. I might also want to get the photographer's guidebook on using the Nikon Coolpix P950. Little tips might improve the quality of my pictures and videos in the future.

I really need to buy extra batteries for the camera. Halfway through taking pictures and the battery went dead. I didn't think I'll need an extra battery. As I was sure I won't be taking that many pictures and videos. I was planning to just stay at the botanic gardens for maybe 1 or 2 hrs.

I did bring along my power bank and managed to charge it to half full for around 30 mins. It's pretty slow to charge. I'm not sure if the latest power bank could charge a little faster. But, I took the time to relax, eat and drink some water.

I haven't done this much walking for a while. Not just because of the  Covid-19 pandemic. I'm kinda a homely person. I only go out of my house if I have to, like work. Other than that I just stayed home and do my own things. Maybe, because I'm getting older.

When you're young, you hang out with your schoolmates and go places. When you get older, most of your friends are married with children. When I had a girlfriend, they're actually the ones coercing me to go out with them. Now, I'm single again and going out because of my new camera. Lol.

I'm not complaining though. Like I've said, I've always been interested in owning a camera and taking great photos. In recent years, I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone as the main camera to take pictures and videos. But, having a camera is very much a different kind of ball game.

Right now, I'm still learning how to use a point-and-shoot camera. It's becoming my new hobby. With social media, you can easily share all your works. And, of course, an added bonus for my blog and youtube channel. I also have to remember that sometimes not everyone likes my pictures and videos.

Check out these one original and two edited sample photos were taken from my P950 edited using FB editor (I don't have any photo & video editing software):

The original pic was taken from Nikon Coolpix P950. Admittedly, it's a little washup.

My sis gave me a damning critic of my photo whereas my ex-colleagues at work praise how bright it is. In the end, I told her that everyone has their own opinion, and that doesn't mean I have to accept it. In any case, I'm still getting the hang of it and I'm already thinking of other types of cameras. 

You've got to start somewhere right? And, people usually edit their main pictures for imperfection. I don't know why my sis and one of my friends asked me to use a flash in broad daylight to take outdoor photos. Yes, I've seen pros working using lighting effects outdoor before. 

I'm not a pro photographer and I don't have money to buy expensive equipment. I'm not in the photography business. I work with what I have and if most people are okay with it, I'm happy. I'll learn and improve as I go along with this new hobby of mine. So, keep visiting my blog and channel!

By the way, check out the big badass black lizard at the near end of my video. At the moment, the Nikon Coolpix P950 is still the only camera I have, and loving it. Yes!
