Not long to go now before the sitbonzo clan head out west to Florida. Our badly needed and first holiday in a very long time and boy, has MrsSitbonzo planned almost every activity going. Good friends coming from South Carolina to stay for a few days bring promise of beer drinking and card games by the pool.
I took delivery of the underwater housing for my canon G7 and we tested it in the bath ready to take pics of manaties, dolphins and water park splashings.

If you have been seeing lots of property based posts coming up on your RSS feed then I can explain. A few of us photographers under the sitbonzo umbrella are trying to branch out a little and maybe even make some money. You may have seen the press coverage of troubled times in local newspapers. The Croydon Advertiser, owned by Northcliffe / Daily Mail Group, are in the process of making many redundancies and cutbacks. Despite all the new things we have learnt about soundslides and video over the last few years, we all need to upskill even more, diversify and make some plans for the coming months.

Which box do you tick to say it is sick, very very sick.

what would your answer be?

We met up with David Dunkley Gyimah yesterday afternoon to shoot some photos of him. He is a guru when it comes to video delivery on the web. He took time from his busy schedule to spend time with us before jetting off to yet another conference in the US.

Testing 123. THE FINAL. from Sitbonzo on Vimeo.

The feedback from the Testing 123 final video was pretty good. Some constructive, which is always welcome. There is an email link to the side and It dosent cost you anything but a few minutes of your time to let me know what you think. email.

I’ve been thinking of doing some more different style videos and decided to buy myself a stedicam as I love the effects you can get. I already built my own dolly and a very unsucessful and heavy crane.

I spent a day trying to set the stedicam up. (it is a pretty sensitive piece of kit) I could’nt get it right and drove to see a very nice guy called James in Oxford. He sorted me out.

Now, all I have to do is to learn how to ‘fly’ the rig. ( thats what the stedi eddy’s call it)
