After so many years wondering what kind of person you were going to become one day, somewhere you forgot that this question actually has an answer, and that 'one day' will eventually arrive. If it hasn't already.

Nikon D7200: Sur Argentina

I'm a Nikon guy and have spent a ton of time in Argentina over the past 8 years so naturally I was drawn to this short film that shows off some of the new D7200's features.  I'm pretty impressed with what I've seen, but would still like to play with the camera myself.  I shot a music video on the new D750 a few weeks ago and that camera kicks ass!

In the making of 'Sur Argentina', photographers Andrew Hancock and Corey Rich head out to Argentina with one mission: to test the theory that creativity is not limited to the size of your kit. 

From a breathtaking time lapse of the city lights in Buenos Aires to the expansive natural beauty of Patagonia, the Nikon D7200's 24.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 4 image-processing engine delivered extraordinary stills and motion of this vast country effortlessly.

Twenty Eight Feet | Life On A Wooden Boat

This is a great documentary about David Welsford and the life he lives on his 28 foot wooden sailboat.  The things worth appreciating the most are usually the most simple things in life.

A short documentary about David Welsford, who has given up the luxuries of land in search for happiness and adventure on a 50 year old wooden boat he restored from a scrap heap.

Moments in Asia by Markus Kontiainen

I stumbled upon this great travel video on Vimeo last night, it was shot entirely on an iPhone 5S by Markus Kontiainen.

Spring 2014 was the best time of my life. I spent 35 days exploring 11 different cities in Japan, China and Southeast Asia as a work assignment. I had chance to see new places, meet new people and experience new things I had never done before. This is my visual diary of the journey shot entirely on iPhone 5s. Cities featured in film: Tokyo Nikko Osaka Ise Nagoya Kyoto Beijing Singapore Bangkok Hanoi Hongkong Helsinki Music: Agnes Obel - Dorian
