Monday Notes- Backups, T5i and Giveaway

/

 A few quick notes

    • CrashPlan- an excellent backup system/solution is offering a free year.  Enter your email and the price for 1 computer for one year drops to $0, even at $50/year it is an excellent value and painless way to backup your precious photos/documents.  Do not wait until you have a horror story to start backing up. https://www.crashplan.com/carboniteswitcher/

 

    • My T5i Unboxing went up this weekend, You will hear me say this in the review- I think we will all be a bit happier if we think of the entry level DSLR market like the auto industry, every year there is a refresh of the product line and sometimes it is exciting with real changes and sometimes it is a polish with minor changes. This is one of those fairly minor changes.  I will have more thoughts in my review in a few days.   Take a few moments and watch the video and give it a thumbs up please.  I also have some sample video showing the silent and smooth focusing of the new 18-55 STM, not lots different from the 18-135 STM.

 

    • I spent the weekend shooting with the T5i and creating a video review of a brand new video monopod from Berno that will be part of my upcoming giveaway.  This giveaway that I have been mentioning for what feels like MONTHS now will start THIS WEEK! All the stuff  has arrived- I will be photographing, listing and putting this all together in the next few days, it is so exciting to be able to give away awesome gear.    You all taking the time to like my Facebook page, Subscribing to my Youtube Channel and visiting the website have made it possible. Thank you!

 

    • Last bit of housekeeping - Facebook has recently changed the admin system for pages, it now is more difficult to keep track of comments, if you leave a comment or questions on a post and I haven't answered it in a day or two please send me a message or post directly on the wall. I try to answer everyone's questions or comments that need a response so it is only because I missed yours that I haven't answered yet and I welcome a reminder or a nudge that you are waiting.
