I bought a mini RGB LED Video Light for my photography and videography #rgbledvideolight


(All links will open up in a new tab)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I already bought a W140 RGB LED Video light years ago. I love it. I've used it sometimes for some of my videos. There are many different colors and modes. The battery could last long and it's rechargeable. It's useful when I'm making videos at home.

Now that I've bought the Nikon Z8, I've decided to build a camera rig. I'm still waiting for my camera cage, top, and side handle. It should be delivered today. Can't wait. After watching videos of other camera rigs, it looked cool and practical.


Learning to use the Nikon z8 N-Log for my videos, makes me want to build a camera rig. I decided to get a field camera monitor. Instead of fitting the monitor directly to my camera hot shoe, I got myself a cage and other accessories. To me, a cage will also help protect my camera. 

There are many monitors and accessories out there. Since I'm on a budget, I tried to find the cheapest but reliable. I decided on the brand FEELWORLD. For the price, it has all the specifications that I like. The most important is that I can upload my own preferred LUTs.


Why camera cages are expensive, I'm baffled. I managed to find one that fits my current budget. Even the top and side handles are damn expensive. Again, I managed to survey and compare the prices I was willing to pay. So now, I'm just waiting for them to arrive. 

A camera rig that fits with a field monitor will help me see better. The other day, I took an N-Log video and didn't realize it was noisy. The video wasn't sharp. I still use it in my video as I thought it'll be interesting. An effect. You can watch it here


I just noticed that my top handle order has been canceled. I had messaged the seller earlier asking why it's not out yet. Been a week. She replied that it was on the way. They have a time limit, and the system will cancel. It's good actually, I discovered that I prefer another design.

I watched a video about the top handle and that it's better to buy one that enables you to screw your field monitor on the front instead of at the top. It'll look shorter and better. I'm still looking for a top handle that fits my budget. The good one is expensive.


I bought a wheel side handle because I thought why not? I can also fit an LED light or mic that I just bought on it. Pretty cool. Though, should I put it on the right or the left? I'll figure it out once, I have it. Like I've said, I'm excited to build my own camera rig.

Look how far I have come. Buying my first camera the Nikon Coolpix P950, the Nikon Zfc, and now the Nikon Z8. I'm sticking with Nikon cameras because I'm already used to them and have their z mount lenses. I thought of buying Sony's latest Alpha 7RV camera. Their lenses are expensive!

finally! my new nikon z8 camera #nikonz8



Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, I've got myself the new Nikon Z8 camera!

Before that, I was thinking of getting the latest Sony Alpha 7RV. I did bulked at having to buy new lenses for it. And, they were pretty expensive. So, when Nikon announced the Z8 with an overall, same specs as the Z9, I was adamant about getting it.

Instead of switching to another eco-system. I stuck with Nikon. I already have several lenses that I bought for my Nikon Zfc. Regrettably, I'm selling off my Zfc and P950. The Nikon Coolpix P950 was my first-ever camera and the start of my love for photography.

You can check out some of the pictures and videos I took with the Nikon P950 and Zfc on my YouTube channel here. I recently went to Hatyai Thailand and got the chance to do street photography with my Zfc. It was a blast and I really enjoyed the holiday. 

You can check the Hatyai Thailand holiday videos on this link.

I think, I took some good photos and I really like some of them. Especially, at the floating flea markets. You can check out some of the photos below:







I'm just an amateur photographer and still learning about photography. Despite that, I decided to upgrade my camera to the most advanced I could afford and that is the Nikon Z8. I took some sample photos and you can check some of them below:




I'm really loving the Nikon Z8. I love learning how to use it and take better photographs and videos. I still prefer taking JPEGs and 4K videos instead of raw. As I'm the lazy and impatient type. Anyway, for the videos, I need to use more advanced editing software.

I'm taking a step-by-step approach to learning how to use the camera and also the editing process. Anyway, I don't think I can edit the 8K vids with my current Mac m1 pro with only 16 GB of RAM. I'll need more storage space too.

I'm not really in a hurry as I have a lifetime to learn and improve my photography and videography. You can watch my growth with the videos and pictures I'll be taking throughout the years I'll put up here or on my main YouTube channel. So, don't forget to subscribe and share!

That's all for now. Happy photography and videography!

F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin we found alma #Shorts


F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon - Xbox 360

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Once awhile, I'll remember this photo that I took of my niece back when I just got the game F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin. Coincidently, she looks like Alma. I don't remember if I actually ever finished the game. Such a long time ago. I think I did finish the first F.E.A.R though.

Back in the day, I was buying and playing the latest FPS games. They were triple-A games. Nowadays, I don't even care about any new games that are coming out because they seem to lose the way. I really hate the subscriptions mode. Part of the reason I don't play games anymore.



F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon - Xbox 360

I also don't like playing multi-player games much. I prefer playing a storied version of the games. I like playing to a good story and have the freedom to just do whatever you want in a game. Ok, that's RPG. Open world game is pretty fun but sometimes, you get lost in it.

I'll take on so many missions that I end up deleting them because I'm way far off the course. Games in the past are fun because you pay, play, finish it, and get on to the next game. Nowadays, they want you to pay and pay for the same kind of shit. Wtf!?



Warner Bros-F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Is it me, or there aren't any horror shooter games anymore? Every game nowadays is just simple mobile games that want you to pay and pay for upgrades or whatever craps kids nowadays like. Hey, look, I have a new hat! Lol. 

Games were supposed to be fun and don't need to have any kind of crappy purchase to upgrade your character. The only thing you hate was dying and having to repeat the section of the game. Back then, whenever they announced a new game, I will be so excited that I can't wait to buy it.



F.E.A.R 2: PROJECT ORIGIN PS3

I'll of course buy the physical version. As you get the case and the disc. But, back then, you'll get at least the poster. Now, you'll just get the case and the disc. Nothing special to it. Everything is going digital nowadays. It's definitely much easier and quicker although the size is pretty big.

It's kinda funny because the game size is getting bigger and definitely you'll need bigger size storage. But the game console they're selling only comes with 250 or 512GB of storage. Which isn't enough. The minimum should start with 512GB and up to 2TB or more!



Seagate (STEA4000402) Game Drive for Xbox 4TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD – Designed for Xbox One, Green

Well, the good thing is that it's making money for third-party companies. Hopefully, the storage won't die on you or you'll be losing all your games. My Xbox and PS3 died on me and you can imagine the frustrations of not being able to play your games.

I was happy when they announced that you can now play all your old Xbox games on the new console. I'm still waiting for Sony PlayStation to do the same thing. They say, the new PS5 would offer that but I'm not so sure about it as some say, it's only for the PS4. 

So, I can't still play my F.E.A.R 3 that I bought for the PS3. Fck it!

Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 9.1 MP Digital Camera 15x Optical Zoom Super Steady Shot!


Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400 Digital Camera (Black) with 16GB Accessory Bundle

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My bro-in-law just gave me an old Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 9.1 MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot. I search around and found out this came out in 2008. Whoa, that's a pretty long time ago!

Actually, my bro-in-law got it from his younger brother. He's not interested in photography, so he decided to give it to me. I was pretty excited as it still looks in a pretty good condition. Well, the outside. The lens needs to be clean from the inside and there's a whirring sound after a while of usage.



Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400 Digital Camera (Black) with 16GB Accessory Bundle

The good thing is that it has a 32MB Sony Memory Stick Duo inside and two batteries. The original seems to have a problem re-charging. I know 32MB is pretty small. I'm only able to take a few pictures and at least one short video. 

The camera even has a night shot, which is kinda cool. I dig through my old stuff and managed to find an old card reader that's compatible with my current PC USB. That means I can transfer and saved the video and pictures from the memory stick. 



SmartQ C368 USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader, Plug N Play, Apple and Windows Compatible, Powered by USB, Supports CF/SD/SDHC/SCXC/MMC/MMC Micro, etc.

I'm pretty much a newbie and have never owned a digital camera before. I've always wanted one though. I'm interested in taking moon pictures and videos. So, I've been aiming to get the Nikon Coolpix P900 or P1000.

I read yesterday that there might be a P1100. Hopefully, it'll offer much better and sharper moon pictures. People also seem to complain about the quality of the pictures in low light or when taking normal pictures. Personally, I hope for an all-rounder. For the amount of money, you expect it to do everything right?



COOLPIX P950 Compact Digital Camera with 83x Optical Zoom Super Telephoto Lens + Expo Premium Accessories Bundle

Anyway, since I've now got the camera, I can use it for practice. The Sony Cybershot itself is not a bad camera. I actually really like it. It's not that heavy and fits right in my small hands. The buttons to access the features on the right (right-hander) are easy to reach and learn.

Even a newbie like me can quickly learn how to use the camera. Okay, I mostly set everything on Auto. I'm kinda lazy to fiddle with the settings. I'm more interested in taking quick good photos or videos instead of having to dabble just to get that one good shot.

Nowadays, people are used to using their phones to take pictures and videos. It's quick and easy. You can take quick photos or videos and then upload them to social media instantly. That's why the camera maker today needs to catch up to that instant gratifications.

You need wifi or data connection ability. Maybe, some quick software editing on the camera itself. I'm a Youtuber, so I'm used to taking videos on my phone or iPad, edit them, putting background music or effects, and then upload. All done on my phone or iPad without the hassles of data transfer like the old days.

I managed to get these moon pictures yesterday using the Sony Cybershot. 9.1MP and around 25+ digital zoom (can't go any further on auto settings) and trying out some of the standard features for different shots.






I actually have a good view of the moon from my 4th-floor apartment kitchen and have tried using my Samsung Note 10+ camera to take the moon pictures but I won't get these kinds of pics. It'll only come out far and blur. That's why I want a good camera like the p1000 zooming capability.

If you watch some moon videos taken with a camera on youtube, there'll always be people who tell you to get a telescope. The thing is, you can also use a camera to take normal pictures and videos. A telescope is only meant for checking out the stars. Duh!



Kodak PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ901-BK 20MP Digital Camera with 90X Optical Zoom and 3" LCD (Black)

I like taking cool pictures and a good zooming camera that can take sharp pictures even way far out is pretty awesome to me. If you're a nature lover or who likes to travel the world, a good camera is of course a plus. 

Heck, I don't even have to travel far out as I can take the moon pictures right from my kitchen and also beautiful, busy birds outside my house. I've been wanting to take pictures or videos of them and now, since I have a pretty good Sony Cybershot camera, I might just do that.

I need to clean the dirty lens and get a bigger memory stick duo storage first though.

Mobile FPS Shooter games I want ported to Nintendo Switch pronto


Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Admittedly, if you have been reading my last couple of posts in my blog. I've been bashing mobile games. Especially, the free-to-play format. I still don't like them. I prefer paying for a full game and that's it. Nevertheless, there are some that I actually like and I want them to be available on the switch.

I love playing a first-person shooter game and I want them also to be available on mobile phones. Instead of a full game like call of duty with campaigns they gave us only the multiplayer part with some maps. I'm still grateful though and now I want it to be available for the switch.



Warner Bros Fortnite: Deep Freeze Bundle - Nintendo Switch

Fortnite, been available on the switch for quite some time. I'm not sure why PUBG hasn't. I actually like playing their team deathmatch. But, it only got one map. Which is a bummer? I discovered some other multiplayer shooter games which are way better.

Check out my gameplay of the games that I want to be ported to the Nintendo switch here. One of the games that I like playing is Battle Prime. Love the maps, sound, and graphics. They look pretty good and play smoothly on my Samsung Note 10+.




Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Cell Phone with 512GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura Black/ Note10+

There are other several first-person shooter games like Battle Forces, Shadowgun Legends, Shadowgun War games, and Super Mecha Champions. Shadowgun legends have several solos, short missions that you can play on your own.

There are many other shooter games available but one of the reasons I don't play them is that their control sucks. The games above allow me to realign my trigger icons to my mechanical triggers. I love playing with my triggers.




Mobile Game Controller,(Back Trigger) URUTOREO Sensitive Shoot and Aim Buttons L1R1 for PUBG/Knives Out/Rules of Survival Cell Phone Game Controller for Android iOS (Transparent) (1 Pair)

Since I bought my switch lite, I've been buying and downloading games on it. It's actually more portable than my original Nintendo switch. I even use it to watch youtube videos and listening to music before I sleep. It's pretty much like having Netflix or Spotify. Which, I don't know why it's still not available.

Anyway, with a better controller, obviously, the mobile multiplayer first-person shooter games that I've been playing would work really well on my switch lite. I hope they port the game pronto. The Nintendo Switch is a great portable gaming console there's no doubt about it.

Sony PlayStation Vita WiFi

In fact, these kinds of games would also probably play well on the PSP slim vita too. Which, I also owned. Frankly, I'm surprised Sony, scrap their portable console. They should hitch a ride the wave of the popular Nintendo switch. Their portable console is actually even more advanced than the Nintendo switch.

Maybe, sony is tired of their portable console being hacked or it doesn't have the support of their fans. That's why I don't believe in people ripping off these companies by hacking or download free games to play. If you're not paying these companies, and they don't have that business margins, how they're going to improve or innovate?

I'm not an angel myself. But, I make it a point to buy games too. To support game dev, especially the indies. These people need to eat and feed their families. Free stuff is great, but not at the point of killing the products and creativities. In the end, we, the customers, or fans of the products will suffer.

When an old PSP 2000 found in the dumpster does it work?


Click here if you're interested to get your own PSP 2000!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My friend told me, somebody, threw away a couple of old and battered PSP 2000 with a couple of games. All of them didn't have battery accept one. And, most didn't even have any battery covers. He didn't found any charging cable too.

In spite of that, I took it all and tried looking for any old charger that could be used at home. I didn't find any. It was only today, months later that I realized the cable used to power my portable monitor has the same type of pin.

So, I tried charging the one PSP with the battery. It seems to charge for a while and then it stops working. Disappointed, I took a look at the other PSP. This one looks kinda new and light. It was a PSP 2000. I tried swapping the battery although I can't close the cover as it's too big.

When I charge it, it seems to work and the battery looks full. I thought, maybe the other that looks like a first-gen PSP was faulty. I tried pulling off the plug and it went dead. That's when I realized, I could power on the PSP 2000 even without the battery.

I wonder if I could instead use the portable charger to power it. Of course, it can. Now, I have a fully working PSP 2000 with games like Tekken Dark Resurrection, Final Fantasy Tactics and Winning Eleven 9. I wish the original owner had bought some racing games.

Well, how lucky could I be? Decades ago, I didn't buy the PSP 2000 partly because the games were pretty expensive. I know, I could have bought hacked games. But, guess, it wasn't worth it. Anyway, I had my other console games.

Now, years later. I could enjoy playing some pretty good games. I actually have the PSP Vita which I traded for my old Alienware M14x gaming laptop with some guy through the net portal. It came with some games. My laptop was getting old and the guy PS Vita was actually still new. Not a bad bargain I guess.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy playing some old PSP 2000 game this few days. Get your own PSP 2000 via the links below!

Tekken - Dark Resurrection - Sony PSP



Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions - Sony PSP



World Soccer Winning Eleven 9



Midnight Club: LA Remix - Sony PSP

Like they say, old is GOLD!

This gaming console might be old but they're gold to some people. Especially, when they didn't get the chance to buy or play it before. This pretty much reminds me of the old days when my family couldn't afford such gaming consoles.

You either play it in the arcade or some friend house who do have them. Time has changed. So have the gaming world. Now, everyone can play good console-level games on their mobile phone. Although, the Free-to-play, pay to upgrade or watch ads to play really suckz nowadays.

At least, there are still good games available on a real console like the Xbox, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and the gaming PC!
