Well after doing some tests with the camera I found a slight problem. The smallest aperture is only f8 which causes a problem when trying to do panning shots during the middle of the day.. My solution was to simply ( so I thought) add a ND or a polarizing filter to the front of the lens to cut down the light entering the camera which would let me shoot slower with out blowing out the exposure. There was only one slight issue…my nice little Canon point and shoot does not have any filter threads on the lens and Canon does not make any adapters either..I found one online but it really did not look all that great anyway..soo I decided to make my own.. With some scrap pieces of plastic, some ND paper for hot lights and some crazy glue I made myself a little filter holder.

I does look ghetto but it works great and also allows me to add more ND filters if I want to really cut light out..for let say a point and shoot rig shot

With it being winter and all I do not have that many chances to shoot for my “project” has been going slow.. I did have the chance to shoot a rally cross but it was freaking cold so I was not able to get as many shots as I wanted. So far Im VERY pleased with how everything is turning out with my not so expensive camera. One thing I have found is that the cam does not have a small enough aperture to pull off good panning shots in day time. Im going to make a filter holder for the front of it so that I can add a ND filter or two..Check out a few shots I took with it at the rally cross..There is also a few fun pics I took in my back yard and one shot I took at a press conference.. I was zoomed out to the max and the lighting was bad..but I still think it came out good..

Check out the new issue of Wrecked Magazine ( since your on this site Im sure you did already ) Id like to thank Joey for doing a feature on me..Its really cool!!

One thing that really bugs me about being a professional photographer is the amount of people that think they can do it too just because they have a DSLR camera or think that us Pro’s only get nice shots because we use cameras that are worth more then most peoples cars. So for the fun of it I decided to launch project NPYMUHAGC…it stands for ” Nice Photo, You Must have a Good Camera”

Basically this is just a fun project for me to help show people that its not the camera that makes the difference but the photographer. So thanks to boxing day specials I picked up a 200$ Canon point and shoot camera ( yes a Canon on top of that..lol ) and I plan on using it pretty much all the time on photoshoots and while shooting events. Im very exited to see what I can produce with this little camera, First thing I get to shoot a winter rally cross event..should be fun.
