The last post has brought about some questions about DOF.
What is Depth of Field
DOF is simply said a distance range in which the objects appears to be in focus. Large DOF means that area is larger and more of the scene will appear in focus, shallow DOF means the range will be smaller and objects closer or further will appear blurred.
Here are some great video examples of shallow depth of field.
If you have a small camera for your church and want to get more of a film look for your videos you produce check out The Miny.
At only $300.00 it looks like a winner. I do notice some vignetting on the top corners but hey, not bad for the price!!
So Valentines Day came and went. How did you do?? Me not so great!! I had awesome plans put together.
Friday night (a day early, beat the madness at restaurants)
Reservations (oceanfront top floor of hotel overlooking the beach) SCORE!!
RIGHT?!?… Nope. I spent Friday allllll day and allllll night in and out of the bathroom! (UGH) So, my amazing bride was patient enough to wait until Monday for the reschedule and we made it to the same restaurant. Did I save it?!?! Maybe, but to help anyone out who didn’t, check out this awesome and well produced video…
The transition from analog to digital TV has been postponed from it’s original date, February 17. When it happens, it not only affects TV reception. It also matters to churches, businesses, schools and individuals who use wireless microphones and other wireless audio equipment.
A lot of of wireless equipment operates between the frequencies of 698 to 806MHz. After the digital transition, in some cases it will be illegal to use those devices like you’ve been using them for years. They’ll continue to work, and over time, they’ll be subject to interference from new devices using the old frequencies. If you’re going to continue to use one or more wireless mics operating in the 698 to 806MHz range, you may have to register that use with an FCC database.
Both Shure and Sennheiser are offering trade-in plans to help you transition to equipment that is safe and legal. It doesn’t seem to be quite as scary for those of us using Lectrosonics Mics.
It’s complicated and here are some links that might help you navigate the change:

I love finding out of the box ways to do video stuff. I have this camera too!
