If you like to take adventure photography and think that GoPro or other action cameras can not do enough but don’t want to spend more than what your DSLR camera cost for underwater housing, Outex is the answer. It may sounds like a birth control product brand and works almost the same but it’s the coolest DSLR camera gear to protect the camera from water, mud, snow or dust in reasonably affordable price :)). It envelops any major DSLR and lenses brand like Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, Tamron etc. To do a split level water photography will be very handy if you have the right lenses and Outex set for that as an alternative to expensive camera housing.
Although you can use Outex for underwater photography up to 10m deep, it is not designed for scuba diving as its not supporting the pressure. And to be able to use it underwater, it has to be installed properly. When you purchase from their website, it will be directed to which camera and lenses are you using so it will fit them properly. It’s an exciting new gear for adventure photography.
Here are some photos of this Outex from many sources:
As I’m now starting to get into videography, and I myself enjoy traveling (who wouldn’t?), here are some amazing and inspiring travel video. I kinda like to go to vimeo.com than youtube because you find lots of craps in youtube and Vimeo are more selected and arty video. Very easy to find a quality video for reference and the forum makes it good place to learn. Anyway, this shouldn’t be a comparison between two but about travel photography.
I guess to have a good travel video most of the one I like to use tripod and wide-angle lenses with a big aperture. Timelapse is popular for travel videography and the result could be amazing, taken from different angles and with a bit of panning too. Thing is when you travel, are you going to take all of your photography gear or just basic stuff? Well, if you call yourself enthusiast you should. GoPro camera would put your travel video more lively and increasingly very popular.
Here are some videos that I like:
1. The Longest Way 1.0 | One-year walk/beard grow time lapse (Featured Above)
This guy is pretty inspiring, he did a walking trip and went for 4500km through China and Gobi Desert and even tough he never finished his goal to Germany, still pretty awesome. He took photos his face every day and see how he doesn’t look like he did. Not surprised if this video won so many short film festivals.
2. Eat, Move and Learn
Thats what we do on our travel. Rick Mereki did an awesome job on doing the video:
He decided to quit his job to travel and took timelapse videos around the world and this is what he achieved 17 countries later. This video has been featured in mainstream medias. Wish I could take that decision….
6. Many Steps (Takayuki Akachi)
This is another unique idea that he traveled the world and filmed some daily life and corners of places he visited. Awesome!
Beautifully done this video is. With Canon EOS 5D Mark II and shallow depth of focus with 50mm f1.4 made this video so elegant and gave it a warm feeling to watch.
