Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
With the heat of August, I thought that nothing will beat making a small beach set photo in the chill studio. In this product shot, I am going to use three lights to simulate outdoor sunlight for a small scale product octopus attack shot.
I am going to use a Miggo Splat , a small stand which kinda looks like a 5 armed octopus. Given this similarity I decided to make a light hearted photo using an action figure I own.
There are no shortages of accessories that claim to make your smartphone’s camera capabilities closer to that of a DSLR. In reality, none of them have proven to do so yet.
But that isn’t stopping Miggo from using the same buzzphrase as part of the pitch for a new iPhone attachment that brings physical dials, a zoom ring and a cold shoe mount to your smartphone.
It’s called Pictar and while the idea behind adding physical buttons to a smartphone camera isn’t anything new, the way in which the Pictar manages to control the setting is.
As some of your faithful followers may know, I like camera bags. I also like to make them water-resistant.
My family and I do a lot of outdoor activities, from hiking and exploring to paddling and camping, often encountering less-than-ideal weather conditions. For those of us who like to take our cameras into extreme weather, we often worry about how the gear will fare…or we simply opt to leave it at home. On one whitewater trip last year, I drowned an SLR body and lens because it wasn’t properly sealed in the bottom of my kayak.
That is why I am excited about the new storm-proof quick-draw carrier from Miggo – the AGUA.
