Hard to show on a phone but this is the Sydney Lightning Storm 1am Wed from Maroubra headland. The light show off the coast was amazing - strike after strike after strike.

Shot this with Sony a7s iii with Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6 on some insane ISO. Best viewed on a big screen. That’s when you notice the silhouette of a person/s on the cliffs.

Also the last shot is a track of a plane. They would have had a great view ⚡️

Here's the first of a couple of videos on the Fujifilm X-H2. It's the new hi-res APS-C camera from Fujifilm and it's available later this month for a RRP of $3399 AUD. In this unboxing you'll see how it resembles its sister-camera the X-H2S. While the X-H2S is built for fast action, the X-H2 is built for resolution in stills and video thanks to a back-illuminated 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and the high-speed X-Processor 5.

It's the world’s first APS-C camera to enable 8K/30P/25P Apple ProRes internal recording. We also unbox the perfect lens to go with the X--H2 .. the FUJINON XF56mmF1.2 R WR.

This is what you get in the DJI RS 3 Pro Combo pack. When it comes to DJI gear your often have to decide whether to upgrade to the combo option. If you can extend the budget it's definitely worth it.

Hope you enjoy the first look/unboxing experience.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 is available now for $3 145 AUD. It has an adjustable touchscreen screen, larger battery (NP-F570), plus electronic viewfinder support. It ships with the latest Blackmagic generation 5 colour science while retaining the Super 35 HDR image sensor (13 stops), dual native ISO and EF lens mount from the previous model.

The G2 is closer to the 6K Pro than it is to the base 6K model. In fact, it’s the same as the Pro without in-built ND.

DJI has just made the battle better cameras and gimbals at lot easier for creators. I stepped away from gimbals for several years but now I’m back after seeing what DJI has produced in the RS 3 Pro and to a lesser extent the RS 3.

Everything is faster with these gimbals. From the the new automated axis lock system to one-tap calibration the RS 3 and RS 3 Pro will make the shooting process at lot smoother. DJI says its 3rd-Gen RS stabilisation algorithm improves performance by 20%.

As the world’s lightest F4 wide-angle power-zoom lens, the FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G weighs just 353 grams, approx. 30% less than the SEL1635Z and is just 80.5 mm x 88.1mm in size with a filter diameter of φ72mm. It’s ideal for gimbals and drones. The focus ring can be easily controlled with a finger while shooting movies, and the adjacent focus and zoom rings are stepped so they can be easily differentiated and operated by feel while viewing the monitor.

Erika Addis is the new Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) National President after Ron Johanson OAM ACS stepped down from the role he has held for 15 years.

Addis is the first female national president since the society was founded in 1958.

The power of the Sony Alpha 1 is absolutely insane but a couple of figures stood out in the spec sheet.
