I admit.. This really took quite some time to finish this little clip. I planned to finish it already after I returned from my first trip from Norway. But what can I say... sometimes things just take longer than expected. And in some cases.. they take even longer.

Either way I got it done now. Nothing spectacular and not so entirely serious. I has become some sort of habit for me (not really a good one I have to say) to forget to turn off the time-lapse feature of my G9 ;-) But I can live with it.

I put this clip together last night and this time I opted for some background music/jingle. If it disturbs you, just turn down the volume.

And as the title suggest, there will be another clip coming. That's going to be up in a future post and will only be... well, let's save that for later.

I hope you like it and thanks for viewing.

Today I would like to tell you a little about my new tripod head that I got just a few weeks ago, and with which I'm very satisfied with. I usually don't do reviews of any kind here simply because I don't have the feeling that I'm the right person to do something like this.

I't a Manfrotto Junior Geared Head 410. But don't let the term Junior mislead you, there's nothing really "junior" about it. I kind of knew what kind of head this is, but I had never seen a clear example of it. Since I consider this head so useful I thought a tiny little demo could be nice, in case someone would like to have a little info on this one.

It's a three way head, with adjustments screws which make absolute precise adjustments possible. With my other, and now retired Tripodhead, I always had some issues to get the composition right as it always moved back a little after adjusting. This one is different. I adjust it the rough position I want it to have using the control ring, and then can do some fine tuning using the control knobs. It's just pure fun and enables me to simply focus on the composition of the image. One thing less to worry about in the field.

Since it's a little weird talking about adjusting things, I though you might have as well a look at it. Hopefully you enjoy my little video straight out of my kitchen again.

Now I just wish spring would show up so that I can use it a little more than recently.

I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for viewing.

A little more serious clip today than the last one ;-)

After my little contest here I received a question from a long time reader/visitor of this blog asking how I did get a print layout like the one for my give-away print of "Where The Rainbows Are At Home".

Since there's absolutely nothing secret about this I quickly decided to put together a little screencast to demonstrate what I've done there. I once read a tutorial by Scott Kelby on how to do this, but I'm not sure anymore is my workflow the same or different. Either way the credit belongs to him.

I don't claim this is the best or only way to do, but it's the way I do it and if you find some crucial errors or have ideas on how create one easier you're welcome to leave a note in the comments.

I hope you like it and thanks for viewing.

I got a little something in the mail today and had nothing else to do at that time. So I did a little unboxing clip. Just don't take this too serious ;-)

Thanks for watching and the next video will be a lot more serious.

Before I left to this trip to England I had the idea to do a few "behind the scenes" videos in Cornwall and took my G9 with me.

It turned out though that I most of the time forgot the camera in the apartment or I recorded in time lapse mode without noticing. Luckily before recording the last two clips from Lands End I realized it. Well, at least I know now what that little icon with the clock means ;-) I tried to fix this a little on two of these clips.

So the whole video isn't nearly as good as I intended it to be, or even as long as I wanted to, but since I recorded at least some things I thought I could share it also.

It was very windy at Lands End and I turned the sound very low on those clips, but you still get the idea. For everyones sake I did choose to not have some cheesy background music ;-)

And yes.... sorry, but I couldn't resist this Indiana Jones maps.

Feel free to have a look:

On Saturday I will post the last article with my experiences of the last few days together with a new image and some other little announcement. So feel free to visit again on Saturday or subscribe to my feeds.
