GoPro Kids on the Beach Iberostar Laguna Azul Varadero Cuba


I Love the whole concept of the GoPro camera, a very small camera in a waterproof case that records certainly decent if not great video footage. The real benefit of a GoPro is that even though the video quality isn't stellar it doesn't matter because at least you have footage. I mean the GoPro gets footage in situations and points of view that most people wouldn't risk thier regular camera for. Such as this situation, our friends' kids splashing around in the waves at Varadero Beach during our vacation at the Iberostar Laguna Azul resort. The kids had a great time and so did I with great afternoon light, cute subjects and a great little GoPro camera.

Sunrise at the Iberostar Laguna Azul Varadero Beach Cuba




For me there is nothing better than a sunrise over a Beach with waves washing up against the sand... ok maybe ice cream is better but that's about it. It does mean getting up early on your holiday but hey, some things are worth it. Although I didn't get up quite early enough because when I got to the beach the sun had already breached the horizon. This sunrise was at Varadero Beach in Cuba, while we were staying at the Iberostar Laguna Azul Resort. Maybe next holiday I'll make it to the beach before the sun start rising above the horizon but it's still a pretty sweet view and a great way to start the morning off.

I Switched From Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro

I Switched From Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro 

Quite some time ago I made the switch from Apple Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro. There were a number of reasons people had for switching, Apple made a lot of mistake with the initial version of Final Cut Pro X and Adobe did a special limited time drop in price on the Premiere Pro Production suite to entice grumpy Final Cut Pro uses to Premiere Pro. My reason for switching was a bit more basic than that. Final Cut Pro X wouldn't work on my Mac Pro and although it didn't officially support all the components in my Mac Pro Adobe's Premiere Pro did at least work on my machine. So I switched. Now I'm looking at a new Mac and I will probably try the updated Final Cut Pro when I do so there is potential for me to switch back... but I'm getting a head of myself, that will be another video.
