It is 2015 and, still, a staggering 90-95% of the Earth’s oceans remain unexplored. This seems unbelievable, given the incredible advancements we’ve seen in technology over the years, and the fact that we’ve even explored the Moon and planets in some detail. Indeed, it has been said that we know more about the surface of the Moon or Mars than about the ocean floor. How is it that the vast majority of the ocean, which makes up 70% of our own planet, is as yet undiscovered? It speaks to the sheer vastness and depth of the underwater realm. It

Having light, literally, at our fingertips in the modern world has made it so ubiquitous that when preparing and packing for a camping trip, it’s often one the most-often overlooked things.
Typically, most camping newbies grab that plastic convenience-store flashlight that lives in the kitchen junk drawer. And the batteries haven’t been changed since that last big storm when the power went out and the batteries were dead. They’ll flick it on, shake it a couple times and after it sputters to life they consider “Camp Light” checked off their

The Internet: where would we be without it? While I could spend an entire afternoon pondering that conundrum, the truth of the matter is that for the time being—barring some sort of global catastrophe—the Internet is here to stay. Not only is it staying, it’s growing fast, and you are a part of that growth. Building your own independent media empire brick by brick, as it were, takes time. And like most other crafts, proper tools of the trade are required. I am under the impression that you would like to create content for other people in the

In many ways, the RC aircraft industry is responsible for pushing wireless video technology forward. Even before drones were really used for video recording, the first-person view (FPV) experience demanded a way to give pilots a view from the cockpit, so to speak, of their model aircraft. The staple for many years has been 5.8G transmitters (“video Txs”). 5.8G, of course, refers to the fact they operate in the 5.8 GHz range, which is preferred over 2.4G because 2.4G is what transmitters (that’s radio controllers) typically use. While the

Knives were among the first tools fashioned by humans. Using flint or obsidian, prehistoric craftsmen knapped sharp edges from these soft stones using harder ones. By fracturing the stone, they could shape blades that could be used as crude knives or axes for preparing food or building shelters. Sharing a similar design, these basic tools evolved to become spearheads and arrowheads. As time went on, techniques were improved, and stone blades were refined and improved upon. The more advanced of these could feature animal skins wound around part

What makes a great shot? Is it the lighting? The camera angle? The mise en scène? Is there even a formula? Who can compare the gritty naturalism of much postmodern cinematography with the deliberate, expansive visuals of classic Hollywood? I can, I hope, show you many of the tools that have the potential to make great shots possible.
