I got back to Photo Vlogging! A Video about Autumn in Dublin City
This past weekend, I did something I haven’t really done in four years: I made a photography vlog. A proper, talking-to-camera, while out and about, taking photos, and showing you around type of old-school vlog. And I actually think that it’s pretty good. I’ve had this idea floating around my head for a few years, and it’s been on my to-do list for about as long. The idea was to do an “Autumn in the city” video. When you think of Autumn, you think of landscapes, forests, rivers and mountains and so on, but I wanted to show just how many Autumn photography opportunities there are in the city too.
An Update on my YouTube Channel and why I’m not very good at YouTube!
It’s been quite a while since I last posted to YouTube and I wanted to update everyone and start anew in 2026. So, in this video I give a quick update as to the channel, look at how bad I am at YouTube (and why) and look at plans for the channel going forward. I also take a Quick Look at my new vlogging camera and share some personal photography news!
Video: Trying the Sony 16-70mm Lens for Street Photography, and other gear testing - Street Photo Diary
I recently set about testing my new(ish) Sony 16-70 mm lens out for street photography, and I decided to film it for another episode of Street Photo Diary. I was also trying out a new GoPro to film the POV shots. I had previously used an old GoPro Hero Session to do these, but the quality wasn’t great and the battery, which can’t be replaced, would only last about a half an hour (after a few years of use).
Canon Eos Rebel SL3 / Eos 250D - A Great Entry Level Option for Vloggers
Last week Canon released a new version of its entry level DSLR (Previously the Eos 200D in Europe) and for the most part it flew under the radar, with the exception of the obligatory round of Canon bashing from the usual suspects. The thing is though, it’s actually a pretty capable little camera for the price, and if you’re starting out, especially if you want to get into Vlogging, it’s worth considering.
