Last year I was able to check out Kodak’s first foray into the handheld HD camera arena when they lent me a Zi6 for a month. When I sent it back, I immediately picked one up as soon as they were available locally. While not perfect, it was a great little camera for my purposes….
I finally got around to trying out the macro feature of the lens adaptors I bought awhile ago for my iPhone (which I can also use on my Zi6 which has it’s own macro mode): You basically just have to unscrew the wide angle lens and it breaks down into two parts – the macro…
SXSWi is over for another year…and it was fanatastic as usual. Here’s my wrapup in video form along with some photos: This video was shot with my Nikon P6000 and Kodak Zi6 since they were the most portable. Edited with iMovie ’09 on the flight home. I shot more video this time around but still…
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…

Basically a couple of city blocks were closed to vehicle traffic and a number of light installations were set up by local artists. There were also…
This past weekend I attended one day of the ImageQuest Professional Photographers Convention in Richmond. I kept waiting for someone to ask me to leave since I don’t consider myself a professional photographer. The only reason I wanted to attend was in order to see Joe McNally’s session. I’ve seen a number of videos he’s…
I took the plunge this past week and bought a 15″ MacBook Pro. This was mostly due to the increasing amount of video and photography I’ve been doing lately and needed a bit more (okay a lot more) horsepower under the hood. One thing that I’ve always wondered about, is that card slot in the…
that Northern Voice is a great conference, watch this awesome tribute video that Laura Blankenship made: Bonus video – Rob Cottingham’s ‘Teh Funny’ Keynote (via Bruce Sharpe):
I had recently decided that one easy thing I could do that will help me develop further as a photographer is simply to take more photos. This was further solidified after hearing about the origins of the 365 photo project during Alan Levine’s great presentation at Northern Voice. This sounds easier than it is…especially with…
