When shooting in the extra wide mode, which I leave it in most of the time, there will be a certain amount of fisheye-type distortion.

Let’s face it, a lot of the photos we shoot will never be seen a second time. But, when you get that perfect shot, it would be a shame to leave it just in the cloud. Printing it out and displaying it at home or the office lets everyone enjoy it. And, isn’t that why you shot it in the first place?</div>

For a printer capable of printing ten-foot-long banners up to 13” wide, the printer is remarkably compact on the desktop. It’s also so versatile with different paper paths for different paper stocks.

Recording videos while you’re traveling is a great way to capture some of the amazing sights, interesting people, and unique aspects of your trip. However, often people find that the videos they record fall short of their expectations, and don’t really look all that good.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
The fact of the matter is that there are many factors that can affect how your videos turn out, and while you’re traveling you won’t have much control over most of them. By focusing on the areas that you can control, however, you could start recording travel videos that have a much better quality and look far more impressive:</div>
<ul style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 23px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Dial up the frame rate</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umoLnlpNPAQ/XD3jlashjMI/AAAAAAAEu88/AmSpoFgQAcEwFoZmqgKWFXN31BS_oEY9ACLcBGAs/s1600/60-frames-per-second.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="160" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umoLnlpNPAQ/XD3jlashjMI/AAAAAAAEu88/AmSpoFgQAcEwFoZmqgKWFXN31BS_oEY9ACLcBGAs/s320/60-frames-per-second.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
As a rule, you should increase the frame rate of your video camera to its maximum (i.e. 60 frames per second) when recording travel videos. A higher frame rate will produce smooth and clear video footage, even when there is a lot of movement in the frame – as is often the case in travel footage.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
Just keep in mind that a higher frame rate will result in larger video file sizes, and take steps if necessary to ensure you don’t run out of storage space.</div>
<ul style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 23px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Use the rule of thirds</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
Every time you start recording, you should take a moment to frame your video using the rule of thirds. On most video cameras you can enable the ‘grid’ feature that will overlay a 3×3 grid on the frame, and you can then use that grid to align the subject and other elements. <a href="http://dougbardwell.com/db/2018/07/08/4-easy-ways-to-start-recording-high-quality-and-impressive-travel-videos/" target="_blank">Continue reading</a></div>

Your golden years are a time when you’ve most likely discovered your best set of friends, when you have a family of not just your own children but also grandchildren, and when people of all ages go to you for advice. All is well, and it shows in your face. Sometimes, it’s great to immortalize these feelings in pictures.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
A lot can be learned from people just by looking at their <span style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">photographs</span>. As such, it’s important that you portray yourself in the way that you’d like to be remembered, so people can understand you more even through a photograph.</div>

<br />
If you've gotten a new drone, I'd seriously studying a book like this before sending your drone into the stratosphere. You don't want to lose it, and that's all too easy to do. There are also some great suggestions for getting the best photos and videos from your on-board camera. <a href="http://dougbardwell.com/db/2017/01/02/the-photographers-guide-to-drones-by-colin-smith/" target="_blank">See the complete review. </a><br />

Making a successful video involves way more skills than making a still photo, and this book is a great introduction to all the additional things an aspiring videographer needs to consider.

It was our first experience driving big rigs like these and when all was said and done, it was a blast. It did take a few hundred miles before I really got to feeling comfortable driving them, but after that, there weren't many places we wouldn't go with them.<br />
