Don’t Make These 7 Drone Mistakes
After having my drone for a year now, I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I’d call myself exactly what you might need if you were “about-to-buy-a-drone” / “just-bought-one-and-are-taking-it-out-of-the-package-right-now”. Unless you have a plethora of experience flying or using remote controlled vehicles, you will make lots of mistakes. Just don’t make the same dumb mistakes I did, and you will see leaps and bounds more progress. Not to mention far less frustration. 😉 Mistake #1 : Thinking you’ll fly this right out of the box with no prior experience I thought I would be able to fly the DJI Mavic Pro out of the box. I don’t know what made…

Aha! How I Converted Micro Cassettes to Digital with Equipment I Already Had
I’ve been on a crusade to turn my mementos digital, thus solving the problem of having way too much clutter due to nostalgic items. Along the way, I found 5 micro cassette tapes from 2005 – mostly recording my little sister Molly (she’s 13 now – see below) as a baby. I knew I had them, but kind of ignored them as there didn’t seem to be an easy solution to digitizing them. Until today! Scanning in some old documents (old notes from my original video tape recordings -yes, I’ve always been thorough it seems) I found the tapes and decided today was the day! I searched on the internet,…

You can record your iPhone Screen! Cool, eh? (video)
Ag! Did this video awhile back, but never shared it on here. Mostly because I’ve been having problems with this website. Grrrr… Anywho! This is a cool feature on the iPhone and can assist you in making tutorial videos, especially if you have to demo an app, or show someone how to access something on their phone.

Where can I find free royalty free music for my video projects? On Youtube of course! (VIDEO)
A video is a lot more dynamic with a soundtrack - but we can't use popular songs as we don't have the rights to them - still, we can find free music to use on Youtube!

Tuesday Tip! Make sure you do this with your Video Projects.
This is stupid-simple, and it has gotten me out of trouble more than a dozen times. After editing and exporting your video, always, always, ALWAYS… watch it. I know these are usually tutorials, but I encountered this very issue with my video editing and projects and I thought it would be pertinent to share it with you. Happy Editing! Katie

READ THIS: Before you restore your iPhone
I made a mistake. And of course I didn’t realize my mistake until it was too late. For a while, my iPhone 6 was acting weird- it said I had used up 11 GB of data, which, for a 16 GB/actually 11.86 GB phone was a lot. But when it came time to add up how much my apps were really taking up, it was like, 3 GB. I even deleted my Facebook app trying to make enough room! Eventually I resigned myself that I had to restore my phone. Which I know shouldn’t be a big deal, but freaks me out every time that something will go wrong and…

Prime-Zoom-Telephoto-Wide Angle-Macro OH MY!
While messing around with my camera, and checking out another photographer/videographer’s equipment (CAMERA AND LENSES PEOPLE), I realized that I finally know what all the funny little photography jargon means, yay! That has given me some inspiration to distill it down, and pass on some of the knowledge. Today, I’d like to explore the words I threw up in the title. Prime. Zoom. Telephoto. Wide Angle. Macro. What all these words have in common is that they are types of SLR/DSLR lenses. (For the record, DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. The SLR is the film version.) In my A+ worthy art above, I’m showing a somewhat visual idea…

Top 5 Reasons I love my Apple Watch
It’s coming up on a year since I first took the leap and bought myself the Apple Watch. Albeit, I bought the cheapest model, but it has worked wonderfully for me, integrating into my life so well that sometimes, just sometimes, I forget how amazing and magical it is. I try not to let my wonder leave for too long though, and I always seem to be discovering new reasons to love my Apple Watch. I’d like to share with you just 5, (although my list could be ostensibly bigger). 1. The layout is really customizable Force press your screen and up comes a lovely menu offering delicious choices as…
