PICTURES BY JENNIFERHOPPERPHOTO.COM

I often wonder what history would have looked like if every era had DSLR cameras.

Can you imagine pictures and video of David and his Mighty Men? Forget 300, this was God’s version. Same would go for The Passion.

Or what about Vikings crossing the Atlantic? Time elapse videos of DaVinci’s murals complete with behind the scenes interviews? Live concert tours of Bach? Shakespeare? Or how did those pyramids really get built?

If their people had cameras, what era, moment, or personality would you like to see?

I guess this one why I’m so blessed by Jennifer’s work, with this two pics she took yesterday as examples. I’d like to think that if Jesus tarries in His return, and somehow our digital files and printed paper survive, I want future generations to remember the value and beauty of people. They’re what matter most. ch:

Nikon D90 Test Reel

I took @jasonjclement‘s Nikon D90 out for a video test drive yesterday. It performed very well, I must say. Certainly a huge jump for someone who is used to inferior optics when it comes to video. Even using expensive video cameras, even HD cams, I’ve thought a million times (underestimating, actually), “Man, I wish I could get the optics of my DSLRs with video capability.” And that’s just what the D90 is. Shot with a Nikon 18-200mm f1:3.5-5.6, no color correction. While I like it immensely, and believe Nikon is a superior camera for still, all reviews say that the Canon T2i is a better fit if your sole intent is shooting HD video (which is what I’m doing), so I’ll be purchasing that unit, and likewise plan on reviewing it. For a full review on both cameras, read the best one I’ve found on the web to date here. ch:
