Travel Photography
I think I've found just what I need - a video class on travel photography. I was doing the class assignment (compare VIMEO and YouTube channels), and I discovered the DSLR channel on VIMEO. Somehow the topic that most interests me was right at the top: travel photography. It looks like the show was shot in 2010, but I'm sure the principles remain the same. SO - I will definitely subscribe. For starters, here is the introductory show: http://vimeo.com/channels/photographyschool/90687500

JVC Everio Camcorders
Like many Americans, I'm a Costco shopper. And, as I've written recently, I'm in the market for a new camcorder. SO - I'm choosing the easy-way-to-go: I'm relying on Costco to select the top choices for me. Currently the local Costco has two camcorders on sale: the JVC GZ-R10 EVERIO and the Panasonic V550. Not knowing which one I'd prefer, I bought both. Now the chore is to select which one to keep, and which one to take back.
The EVERIO has a series of videos that are very enticing. The following playlist of videos begins with the 2014 introduction to the JVC QuadProof camcorders. Be careful though; the playlist has 87 videos! So, here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SE0DpKETP0&list=UUvy9t1QZYYP07h5e_FTvbYg&feature=share

Stocks Farm Video
I'm a sucker for farms. I grew up on the mythology of Dad's farm in Kansas. We visited every summer, and I absolutely LOVED the times we spent there. I even momentarily owned a 1/3 of a 1/2 share of a farm after Dad died (before brother #2 asked us to sell our shares to the cousin who farmed it). SO, naturally when exploring videos on VIMEO's Documentaries channel, I chose to view this one, on Stocks Farm Foods. It's a great little video! The sound is good, the visuals are excellent, and it makes me want to visit its Facebook page(or the farm itself!). Film link: http://vimeo.com/channels/documentaryfilm/52457735
Stocks Farm - How We Started from Christopher Hughes on Vimeo
.I also liked the fact that the filmmaker included this information about his film:
Shot on Stocks Farm in Suffolk and at Stoke Newington Farmers Market using a Canon 5D mk2 and a Canon 7D, sound was recorded using Sennheiser wireless Lav into a Zoom H4N
Why does that interest me? It's very simple: I too have a Zoom H4N! I love knowing that I have equipment equivalent to what's online. And, I have suggestions now for what next to explore - a Sennheiser wireless Lav!

Video Site Comparisons
This week's assignment in our class of "Video for the Web" is to compare the two video network's of VIMEO and YouTube. First I'll start with an exploration of the VIMEO Channels. I wasn't much interested in the Director's Picks, but I DID find something useful on Documentaries. This next clip is a trailer for a video called Janapar. It looks like a great film, so I guess the trailer works! View it online: http://vimeo.com/channels/documentaryfilm/39529035
