How do you assess the trustworthiness of a gallery?
What are some warning signs to look out for?

This video was taken on my 3rd visit to South Korea's Seoraksan National Park. It was also my third time climbing Ulsanbawi.
My first visit was during the fall, (and was shot in super low quality video) while my second visit was during the winter, which provided some beautiful black and white photography opportunities. (and I was without a camera)
This trip was late spring/early summer, and it is very much worth it to visit this park during each season, because each visit is a truly unique experience.
I was in much better shape during this climb than I was during my first two visits, so this trek was much easier than the first time around. On that first trip, I thought I was going to die.
This trip was also my first time getting to the peak of Seoraksan, the mountain the park is named after. It is possible to stand on the very peak of the mountain, which I wanted to do very badly, but with the combination of strong winds and a sprained ankle, it would have been just a little too dangerous, plus the footage would have been shaky.

I thought I would show off the town I've been living in for the past 4 months.
I had a foggy friday afternoon off a few weeks back, so I walked around aimlessly, got really lost, and shot some stuff arounnd town. Its nothing overly interesting, I really dont know why you would be watching this, but alas, here you are.

I was curious how my full spectrum converted Nikon Z5 camera would render sunset colours, so I went for a walk in the park.
14-30mm/4 lens at 14mm recording 4K with 1.7 crop gives about a 24mm equivalent field of view.
Since I was headed into a low-light situation, I opted for the 680nm infrared filter, which doesn't cut too much light.
1/50, f/5.6, Auto ISO,
I think exposure compensation was set to somewhere between +1 and +2.
Background noise created by me in FL Studio 11. Wanted to give it a less electronic sound this time.

Merek the Hedgehog loves running on his wheel.
Sometimes I worry he might be getting bored without a change of scenery, so I let him run free in my living room. He usually ends up finding his wheel on the floor and running on it anyway.
You have the entire room little buddy. Roam free!

Before you stretch that canvas to start work on your next masterpiece, you're going to want to make sure that the stretcher or strainer is square.
What's the easiest way to do that?
Measure across diagonally on both sides. If the numbers are the same, it's square.
If the numbers are off, then you've got a problem.

I forgot to disable autofocus on a timelapse yet again!
There was a partial eclipse this morning in Toronto. I set my alarm for 4am and rode to the closest spot with a clear eastward view, which was quite the trek.
I set up my Nikon Z6 with my 24-200mm on my flimsy discount travel tripod.
One thing I really like about the timelapse mode on this camera is the exposure smoothing. I can leave auto ISO turned on and keep the camera in Aperture priority mode, which allows the shutter speed to change with the light, and I still get smooth results. (The 3rd clip where it darkens was me turning down the exposure compensation from -1ev to -2ev.)
Unfortunately, haze, clouds, and focusing too far forward most of the time obscures the crescent shape of the partial eclipse, the sun just looks like a bright blob.
Oh well, at least I got out and experienced a beautiful sunrise.

How is fluorescent paint so bright?
It's magic! Well, really, it's physics, but sometimes, physics is so cool it can seem like magic.
Fluorescent pigments absorb ultraviolet light, convert it into visible light, which bounces back at you, with the visible light.
In this video, I demonstrate how the pigments work by using my photo editing software, Darktable, to show you where each colour falls on the image's tone curve.
Neon colours are amazing.
