Ash Little Photography

So you can shoot HD 1080p but you have no control!?!  Not exactly.  There’s a lot of buzz going around about how you can’t control the settings with this new technology.  I think there’s a pretty simple way around it.

Basically, the video feature is mostly auto.  The camera pretty much picks your ISO, shutter speed, and shoots for the widest aperture.  You run into some major problems when your outside at noon and turn on your video and basically end up getting ISO 100 and f16(compliments of the sunny 16 rule). 

Shooting at f16 there is no depth of field meaning everything in the photo is crisp.  So unless your Ansel Adams selling landscape photographs.

Solution:  Neutral Density Filters.  Just check your lighting and figure out how what strength of your filter(s) you need to get your aperture to where you want it.  Then your back to looking like you own a $50,000 video camera. 

I’m really excited about this camera/technology and can’t wait to show everyone how I’m going to implement it into Ash Little Photography.  I also demolished this ice cream writing this post.
