Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Cameras (or MILCs) are the smaller, svelter cousins of DSLRs. The video above was shot by Leon Visser on a MILC — a Panasonic GH2, specifically — during a trip through Vietnam.
Head over to Vimeo Video School to learn more about these compact but powerful cameras. Get your learn on >
Was telling my mother that she should invest in one of these before we embarked on our American adventure, but perhaps she should master the point and shoot first!

One man, one 1958 Fender Strat, and 100 famous guitar riffs — the next 12 minutes will be a history lesson of rocktageous proportions. Take it away, Alex!
Hey, I know what I’m going to do this summer!
…oh, who am I kidding. I’m going back to bed
Wong Fu wrote made a short film based on my life experiences! Although the ending is inaccurate I suppose they had to end on happier note for commercial reasons.
Another day, another adventure in space. Following not too far behind the Annular lunar eclipses, the transit of Venus has been another event for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory to capture, and of course, time-lapse for our viewing pleasure. As this hypnotic footage shows, the astronomical phenomenon truly helps to understand the expanse of space in our solar system and as it turns out, helps scientists in their search for exoplanets.

Watch the 1882 Transit of Venus
Over the past couple of days, astronomers have been putting solar filters on their telescopes and taking test shots of the sun in anticipation of capturing today’s Transit of Venus.
But this isn’t the first time photographs have been the method of choice for preserving this rare cosmic event. After hand-drawn images dominated observations from the 1761 and 1769 transits, photography came on the scene and was up to the task of creating a stunning record of the 1874 and 1882 events.
If you missed it. There’s always this for now…
IT’S FINALLY UP AND RUNNING! I may have had to use a cover but at least it’s viewable. This was my first serious attempt at filming, that too with a Contour camera of all things which was borrowed from my father’s friend - big thanks to him! Nevertheless I am open to any constructive criticism so feel free to let me know in the comments below :)
Introducing the Leap.
“It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.”
Is this awesome or is this awesome?

Every time…
Our pal Kai at DigitalRev put a Canon 7D through a durability test, and in the end, IT STILL WORKED!
Here’s a list of what the camera goes through: getting hit by a car, getting thrown down a flight of stairs in a wheelchair, getting frozen, soaked, shot at, put in the oven, and set on fire.
that ship CRAY!
stumbled across the Race Day footage if anyone’s interested :)

The only real losers are the audience.

What *is* ISO exactly? And where does camera noise come from, anyway?
Dylan Bennett (a real smart guy) explains it all in this video about digital sensors and how light works.
I think that Ray perfectly sums this up… and I would just like to say on behalf of all Dubaians please take the fudging cheeseburger pizza, we don’t want it!
