My ND filter collection

May 10, 2021 in journal

I use ND filters almost on a daily basis, both for my photo and video work. My collection has grown over the years, so in this video I show you which ND filters I have, why and how I use them.

The ND filters shown in this video are:

Why I bought a 5-year old Full Frame camera (A7Rii in 2020)

July 29, 2020 in journal

I bought a new camera.

Actually, I bought it 3 months ago. I didn't mention it here or anywhere because the last thing I want is anyone thinking they need a new camera -or even worse, the camera I bought- to create good images.

But a few people have spotted it in my videos and asked about it. I also want to be as transparent as possible when it comes to what I use to make my images, so here we go.

RX100VII first impressions

My first hours with the Sony RX100VII, just in time to photograph a beautiful snowstorm in Innsbruck, Austria.

New addition to the family: RX100VII

November 14, 2019 in journal

I just doubled down on my approach to go compact with the purchase of the newest RX100, the mark VII.

The combo mark II + VA is near perfect for what I do. There were two main problems, though:

The mark II is falling apart, and I'm afraid it'll stop to work at any moment.
The lack of mic input in the VA has proven to be more painful than I initially thought, making my video workflow much more complicated.

The mark VII feels familiar in every sense, slightly bigger but the same camera. The mic input and the 200mm alone might be worth the huge price tag.

It's already been in the rain and heavy snow since I got it a couple of days ago, and it behaved like a champ. I'll share my final thoughts on this camera very soon for those who are on the fence.
