Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

I love that you have a chance to connect your computer to your TV and watch and play on that. I was using my moms laptop with HDMI and it looks absolutely fabulous. HDMI is a great cable for all your entertainment devices that has an adapter or a HDMI port. This enables you to connect your computer to the TV and have that as an monitor. The HDMI already deals with sound so it go's through the TV speakers for whatever sound goes through your computer. This is a great deal to people that are gaming that feel like not looking at a small screen, most of the time people use laptop screens and they utterley don't like the display and feel of a small screen. Most people like sitting on the couch and watching TV and HDMI connects to your computer and just plays like a TV show big screen. Everything looks good on the big screen on the right settings. Some people just want to get away from looking at their computer, and would rather use HDMI.

Don't tell what your wishes are.

Hello everybody. Today I am going to tell you why not to tell what your wishes and goals are. I watched this video on www.ted.com and this was a very interesting video. He talked about why not to tell anybody about your wishes and goals. He said if you told someone you will get a happy moment and it will ruin your goal. You already have enjoyment in your brain just by telling someone that you are going to do this. If you do this you are most likely not going to do it or do a bad job just by telling someone your goal or wish. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I got books about photography

One of the books I got and I love very much is "From stills to motion". I think this book is amazing, because it's inspiring and very enjoyable to read. This teaches you a lot of stuff if you are making movie project. Like organizing to editing and some other tips like what are the crucial attachments for the SLR that records. They said the things that you would want in your collection is a viewfinder and a video tripod. This book just tells you tons of things, and when you read it again you pick something up that you didn't before. If you don't read a book twice you don't know the story, also I am struggling to record and set the settings. I am going to learn how to use this camera even if it take's me 2 years to learn it. It takes time to get used to a camera so customizable that you can't afford an mistake. I know color grading the video is a big part of the video, but I don't think that I got the right settings down anyway. I am going to try to look up this issue and fix my problems. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Don't think of people thinking of you.

I have problems myself with this issue, people in my family, and people online think of me a certain way. It's really tough to get used to getting thought of in bad ways. You can't stop this issue from ever happening in your life, people think of me as a rich kid online now since I got the camera. When people get something good online means your rich automatically, most people get "rich stuff", because people need the item most of the time. This camera to me is a investment, and no one can say that it's stupid and expensive to buy this. My dad is going to use our camera for his independent film also, this is not just a thing for me, but right now it is because I am the only one using it right now. I don't like when people react to me in public when I have the camera on my neck, people think just because of my age. Old people think that kids should have little cameras not professional cameras, what I think is that people should get whatever they want when they got the chance.

How to deal with Cyber Bully's

Did you know that they have Cyber Bully's. They are like real Bully's but on online. These kind of people bully you on your YouTube videos or just people from school. Everybody should treat this situation really delicately, because it is a real delicate situation. Every dad tons of people online get Cyber bullied every dad, this is a sad fact because sometimes I get bullied to on my videos. It's really hard to keep yourself strong, and most of the time you keep strong but you can't keep yourself strong forever. I am the kid that opened Pokemon cards and for some reason I got 60,000-70,000 views on this video. This is very interesting, because I just uploaded it and go that much views, it's really frustrating when people call you ugly or something else that can't be said. I think people should keep their mouths shut and just skip on to a next video, and don't comment. I would only comment on a bad video just to give someone simple tips, nothing else then that. I really don't believe that people should comment bad stuff to people and gain power. I don't think that should be possible, their should be a rule, or a option to set the max comments that people can say. Only if you respond shall you comment again. That will help a lot in my opinion. I think most people Cyber Bully, because people are depressed and messed up, and don't know what to do with their lives rather than Bullying. I think that YouTube should only allow one bad word every comment, this would help a lot also. I just handle this problem just by thinking of something else, or just being used to these issues. This is how people get mean just by bullying you can spread the infection. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Getting books for my photography and cinematorgraphy skills.

The books, that I am getting are about photography and cinematography skills. People that are new to the SLR should get books about photography. The SLR is a whole new different camera than any other camera out there. The advantage of SLR is the video and photos in my case, and a whole variety of lenses. People love the manual settings and other features that really makes the SLR really unique. Most people think that it's too complicated, like the buttons and all. The SLR buttons are really simple to understand. The big problem is the camera settings of the camera. The camera settings is the most important thing on the camera. You have to understand how to set the ISO etc.

Planning to buy a 50mm lens

Hello everybody. Today I am going to tell you why everybody needs a 50mm lens. A standard lens does include zoom but how portable and how much aperture difference does it make. Right now my lens has a F stop of 4, and the one I am looking is at a F stop of 1.4. I am not getting 1.2 because it's way to expensive. This is going to be a lens for convenience and comfort, this weighs a lot less than other lenses and also has a smaller F stop. The smaller the F stop the more light comes in, This lens is about $360 dollars on amazon right now and it's a good deal. Some people complain that the auto focus goes out after a month. This doesn't mean that you should not buy this lens, it still has manual focus. This is great for most occasions this is a lens that you can depend on for good quality images. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I think I should buy flash?

Buying flash to me is a good idea. You can make some cool effects with flash, like making light make shadows or making a image turn into a different color. I think my dad and I should invest in lighting and flash. Lighting is one of the most important things for your photos, and you can use flash outside out in daylight. Lighting is for like family portraits and other things. Flash is for cool effects like take pictures of splatters of water and other things that are fast. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking of experimentation (Canon 5D Mark II)

Now I got the camera that was in my dreams. Now what am I going to do with it. DigitalRev's video gave me motivation and creativity thinking logs. What I like about this channel is that it compares cameras, lens, and you name it. The thing that gets me the most is the pro photographer shooting a cheap camera that is not that good but still had a good image. This one video I watched on this channel was amazing. This pro photographer used a Macbook air camera. The Macbook air doesn't really work that great but still had a really good turnout. I am saying that the mind is better than the camera most often. You can't take a photo without good thinking thoughts, your mind is the key and I am going to use it more often.

Bought the Canon 5D Mark II

Hello everybody. Me and my dad bought the Canon 5D mark II. We bought it last night of Cyber Monday from Amazon. It's a good deal to buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The CF card I bought yesterday raised 100 dollars since Cyber Monday week ended. If you are buying camera accessories buy it on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, because you save a lot of money. We were over budget by $700 dollars mostly because of the Squaretrade warranty. Every good camera needs a good warranty, and it seems like people like Sqauretrade more than Bestbuy. The reason that I bought my camera on Amazon instead of Bestbuy because I don't have to pay tax. We saved over $300 dollars just by not paying the tax. The tax in Wisconsin is pretty high. I also bought a Lexar 32 GB 600x card, and I hope that this CF card will work because I heard that this card fails sometimes. Also bought a card reader that will read and write to my computer to import files. This is very important because you can't share the image if you can't export the image to the computer. We also bought an extra battery, because you never know when  you need an extra battery. The Canon 5D mark II we bought is the kit with the lens. It's cheaper to get the on with the lens. If you have lenses already go for the Canon 5D mark II body. I am so happy right now to have this camera. Later on I can get Adobe premiere so I can edit with external sound better than imovie. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Not getting a camera for Christmas.

Hello everyone. Today I am going to tell you why, I am not going to get a camera this Christmas. I am not getting a camera this Christmas, because of not having a enough money. This doesn't mean that I am not getting a camera. I just need a little bit more money first so I can buy the warranty, and buy the SD card, card reader, and warranty. This sucks kinda, because I have too wait a while, but it's okay to wait a little longer. My budget is 3000 dollars, and I need 4000 dollars to get the essentials of life for my camera. I would buy it on Amazon because Amazon doesn't charge tax, and that makes huge sale on tax savings. Plus I would buy the Squaretrade warranty that fixes stuff and gives you money back instead of a Bestbuy warranty. Plus with no tax, I save about 300 dollars just on the tax. Also it's a lot easier because you don't have to go to your store, and pull more money out of your pocket. They also might have a Canon 5D Mark III release next year, and I don't think that they are going to discontinue the model, because it's still a great camera and it would be a waste to waste the Canon 5D Mark II. Maybe it's going to cheaper when the new one comes out? I think it's not going to be cheaper when the Mark III comes out. I think it's going to be more expensive then my budget. In a year or two the price will drop on the Mark III. It's going to take a long time to earn 1 thousand dollars by myself and no one is going to help me in the process. The think the new Canon 5D's are going to have minimum to awesome features and fixes. I just have to wait. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The stuff I need for my future Canon 5D Mark II.

Hello everyone. Today I am going to talk about what I need for my Canon 5D Mark II. I need tons of practical stuff. Like battery's, and the essentials. The camera does come with a lens, but it doesn't come with a CF card ( Compact Flash ). You need a certain type of memory card to make a high end camera that uses CF cards operational. If you have too slow of a memory card, it will not function correctly. What I absolutely need, when I buy my camera, is a Square-trade warranty and a CF card that is high speed. This CF card will be a Sandisk, because people all around the world trust Sandisk. Do you know that story when someone found the Canon 1000D underwater for a year. They most likely had a Sandisk memory card in there. This is the card I want(http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-Extreme-memory-card/dp/B002P370AI/ref=pd_cp_e_2). This is a really good memory card that meets that standards of HD 1080P video recording and continuous burst. Also I need a battery grip, and a power AC-DC outlet so that my battery life doesn't deplete at a crucial moment at an event. This is not on my top priority. I am going to get this I estimate 2012 after Christmas. This is a really expensive camera because of it's full frame sensor, and tons of cinematographer options. This camera is used for both photo, and video. But first, I have to focus on the Square-trade warranty and the CF memory card, so I can actually shoot the camera. Also, another crucial crucial thing I need is a CF card reader for my mac so I can transfer my data from my CF card to the computer itself. This is top priority here. This is a link of a highly ranked card reader. ( http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Professional-Dual-Slot-Reader-LRW300URBNA/dp/B0050C9ZMC ). I need CF card, warranty, and card reader to transfer data from the CF memory card to the computer itself. If any of my family members are reading this... This is an investment for my future and experiences. This camera has been used in Captain America, House, Black Swan, and SNL. Here's a link to this website. ( http://canon5d.wonderhowto.com/blog/canons-5d-mark-ii-invades-hollywood-0129387/ ). You will be surprised at what you will see! This is like a 4000 dollar project just for getting the essentials, but believe me that this is worth it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
