We took a trip to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, I took many photos. A good day to go is Sunday. Saturday is very packed and everybody is irritable and hot. Try carrying some water and a map of the museum, it helps. Some of the exhibits cost more money so bring some extra funds. I really enjoyed my time here. I’ve been here many times as a kid, but as an adult there is a greater appreciation of everything shown here.

Below is my equipment list. Play some music and enjoy the photos. Peace!!!

DJI OSMO – video test footage and review

November 5, 2017November 5, 2017Posted in Accessories, Cameras, DJI, film, LENS, OSMO, photography, REVIEW, RON ALPHA BLOGLeave a comment

My first time using the DJI Osmo camera was so much fun. I will say that this camera is very delicate, but it performs so well. You can get the best still shots and capture amazing sharp video footage while moving. The Oslo takes panorama shots, you can use it as a selfie stick, but what I like the most is the slow motion video. Below are some Tips and Specs on the OSMO and what you can expect when you buy one.

Make sure you buy extra batteries. The batterie does not last that long. You can get about 45min to an hour per battery. If you are not using it, turn it off to save juice.

Buy a UV lens adapter. This will allow you to film in the sun without having to adjust too many settings.

If you combine this camera with other things in a bag, make sure it is secure and it doesn’t bang around too much. This camera can be knocked out of wack from anything so just be careful and gentle.

I hope you get a chance to try this camera, it is awesome!!! RATING TIME

DIY – product photography – overhead view

MUSIC BY RAPHAEL SADIQ

DIY product photography – overhead view

1. Get some cheap wood and make a rectangle out of 4 pieces. Tall enough for your camera to hover above the table.

2. Get yourself an adjustable tripod head. Like this one.

3. Get some screws and screw this to the top of the wood. Like this…

4. Get an external monitor and place it next to you to view what the camera is capturing.

5. Buy a nice clothe or anything to make the table look presentable.

6. Use a wide angle lens for large products and a 50mm lens for smaller objects.

7. Make sure you have lights and a reflector and you are done.

This is a lot cheaper than buying this.

Here are some photos from my trips to New Orleans this past year. I used all of my lenses on these photos. I walked around asking people to take photos of them, people were more than happy to pose for me. People love to be loved, they love attention and it makes them feel good to feel important. I don’t care how you look on the outside, your smile and spirit is what I want to capture. I hope you enjoy my photos, feel free to critique them….enjoy!!!
