I’m going to present here the different rain protection items that I use for my cameras, whether I use them handheld or on a rig.
When it rains or there is risks of water spraying onto the equipment, I’m of the mentality of keeping it as dry as possible, as this is the gear that I work with and I don’t have the funds to replace it if it’s damaged.
Another fact to keep in mind is that no manufacturer will honor the guarantee of the camera for water damage, even if it is weatherproof or advertised as such, so better take no chances.
If it’s possible to mount a shotgun mic on your camera rig, there is a few tradeoffs. First, if you keep getting close and backing out, the sound recorded will have different intensities that will need taking care off in post. Then you can have different sound characteristics depending on where you shoot, if there is walls nearby for the sound to bounce off, echoes, etc…
The best would be to have a dedicated boom operator, who will be able to capture the sound as close as possible from above, but for solo gigs or tight budget productions, this is often not possible.
An alternative is, if you have a c-stand at your disposal, to build a simple support to maintain the boom without getting in your way while you shoot. This is what this article will describe.

I am going to present in this article my photo and video editing workflow which does not use any of the Adobe software suite. I’m personally a fan of their pricing strategy so I tried to find worthy alternatives.
First, a warning: this workflow works for my specific case as I tailored it for my use, therefore it cannot fit every videographer’s or photographer’s needs. For example, I never do local retouching of my photos, so I have no use of the tools found in a software like Photoshop. But I thought it was still interesting to share it.
I edit my photos in DaVinci Resolve, which is first and foremost a video editing and color grading software. I explain why I use it here, and how to edit Raw files in Resolve in this article. So keep in mind that this is not a normal workflow that will be presented below.
This is a post explaining step by step the way I found to post-process Sony RAW files in DaVinci Resolve.

I intend to use this article as a base and the reasoning for when I’m taking “Photos”. This will help explain the difference in rendering in my photos and why my lens reviews will be a bit different from others available online.
