By sunspots on the viewfinder, I assume you mean that the operators have been careless enough to let the sun enter the diopter and burn the LCD? That's a pretty common problem with all EVFs when people aren't careful about keeping the sun out of the viewfinder. But how could that possibly lead...

Hi Kevin, that's exactly how I feel about shooting and the reason I got started with stock footage in the first place. Mosatly tt gave me an excuse to get out and shoot. Making money was not really even on my mind back then but now it certainly is. All the fun of shooting with no clients to...

As I travel around teaching workshops I get a lot of questions about how I'm able to make a good income shooting stock footage ($2700/mo. as of right now), so I thought I'd produce a master class to teach everything I've learned. If you've got skills at shooting video and access to a...

I decide it was time to do some spring cleaning and clear out some of my old gear that I don't need anymore. I'm getting rid of several 4K cameras, my Sony AXS-R5 recorder (have upgraded to an R7), SxS cards, tons of microphones and mixers, LED lights, tungsten lights, lenses, and even some old...

Just in case anyone is interested, here's the first chapter (42 minutes) of my Sony Z150 and NX100 training video. https://vimeo.com/179567188

I am happy to announce that my Master Class for the FS7 is now online and ready to roll. 6 hours total 26 chapters http://vimeo.com/ondemand/fs7 The first chapter (42 minutes) is available online for free http://vimeo.com/118816281

I've got a couple of cameras I don't need anymore, so I thought I'd see if anyone here is interested. I've got a Sony PMW-EX1 that is in mint condition except for a minor cosmetic flaw under the handle. I can supply photos. Asking $3600 and throwing in a Century Optics 1.6x tele-converter...

I am happy to announce that “Doug Jensen's Guide to the Sony PMW-F55” has finally been approved by Apple and is now available for purchase on the iTunes bookstore. In addition to the full-length 300-page book, there is also a 30-page sample book that can be downloaded for free...

Here's a short video I shot on Sunday. Partly just for fun, and partly because this is the first chance I've had to test the 2K center scan mode out in the real world with 240 fps HFR. There's no way for your to know what was shot with which lens and which scan mode, but I have a pretty...

Sony released a firmware update for the PMW-F55 a couple of weeks ago that allows the camera to shoot at up to 240 fps in 2K. So, I thought I'd shoot some test shots last week to see what it looked like. https://vimeo.com/77396564 77396564

Just in case anyone is interested, I wanted to mention that I have put my personal F800 and F3 up for sale. Both cameras are in perfect condition and include a lot of extras. They've never been rented, loaned, shipped, or used by anyone but myself. See photos and details here...

I sold my FS100 last year but the new buyer didn't need some of the accessories. I had almost forgotten about them until this week. They're in mint condition and have barely been used. If anyone's interested, please make an offer. Berkey cheese plate for mounting accessories...

I hope nobody minds if I mention that I've updated the content of my F800 field guide and have released it as an iBook for the iPad and iPad mini. With over 225 pages of detailed information, plus 100 pages of step-by-step tutorials, you won't find a single important topic left out. If...

Did anyone else see the sloppy interview on last Sunday's 60 Minutes? Whoever shot it crossed the line with the reverse angle camera. Scott Pelley and the person he is interviewing were both facing screen right. The sgement cut between the shots several times. Very sloppy.

Anyone done anything for Film Garden Entertainment? If so, any comments?
