Earlier this week, I had the priviledge of being invited to attend a boat cruise to help introduce Wantsa to the local social media scene. They’ve been pretty quiet about what Wantsa’s all about and then they went and hired my friend, Colleen Coplick who has the awesome title of ‘Professional Loudmouth’ for Wantsa. She’s…
While trolling around eBay, I stumbled across this extension tube for about $10 USD delivered from Hong Kong which attaches to the screw mount on my Nikon P6000: The build quality and finish of the tube is almost a perfect match to the P6000.

I left my camera back at the hotel while I went to the SXSW Interactive conference today: View from the 16th floor from John Biehler on Vimeo.
Today was a travel day for getting to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive. Of course, this meant that I brought a bunch of camera gear with me onto the plane…including this handy little suction cup gorilla pod mount for my Zi6 HD camera that you can see on the right. I also added the fisheye…
