Having had to explain the Exposure Triangle so many times to my friends, I decided to do a series of movies on the Trinity of Photography (Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO). This is a 3-part series on how to shoot photos (or videos) on Manual mode ... like a pro. Part 1 below is devoted to Aperture.
Annihilation came out with a soft bang in the theaters a few months ago. Somehow it didn't do as well as expected, but it's still a thought-provoking film nonetheless. Here are 3 BTS videos on the making of the movie. If you love filmmaking or are a film buff, you'd appreciate watching these.

My friends and I went on a candlelight tour of some of Old Town Alexandria's historic homes. This is our second tour. We went on a one a few years back and liked it so much, we decided to do a repeat!
Took the bus from Belleville, New Jersey to New York City for the day ... just because I felt like some New York style dollar pizza. But not just any dollar pizza. It had to be Casey Neistat's dollar pizza.
I saw A QUIET PLACE the Thursday it came out. Huge fans of Emily Blunt, my friend and I have been anticipating this movie. It did not disappoint. John Krasinski did a masterful job directing this film. The sound design is everything when a film is this quiet. No wonder it currently holds a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes! Go see guys!
If you've been following the Sarahdippity Vlog, you've seen the Japan 2017 vlog series, right? I think this is the last of it! But I could be wrong. :)
After a week of exploring all the cool places near within a few hours train ride from Tokyo and Kyoto, we're back in Tokyo for 2 nights. We made sure to hit all the remaining must-see places on our list, and on top of that list is Shibuya Crossing. Oh and we also made sure to eat as much ramen as we could before heading back to the States.
One of my favorite past times in Tokyo though is to people watch! That Tokyo street fashion style ... a radical blend of old, new and borderline futuristic. Hope you'll enjoy this vlog.
I've been to Santorini, Greece, world-famous for its sunsets. But ... as beautiful as the Santorini sunsets are ... the one sunset I experienced at Miyajima literally took my breath away. Here's Vlog Ep. 19, our day on Miyajima. If you stay with the movie until the end ... you'll see the sunset that stopped me from breathing ... for a moment. But then again ... it's on the thumbnail so if you're in a hurry and can't watch the entire movie ... the thumbnail will do. Right?
Of all the things I got to do and see while in Japan, playing with the deer in Nara was my all-time favorite. Vlog Ep. 18 is all about the deer of Nara! If you love animals, you'll love this. But if you have a thing against deer -- best to skip this movie altogether.
After exploring the Bamboo Grove, we hopped on the train ... again ... to visit Osaka the next day. Here's Vlog Ep. 17. By the way, the food is so good everywhere we go in Japan. However, in Osaka, we had the best ramen ever! It was also the "fattiest" ramen ... perhaps that's why it was so good.
The day after we arrived in Kyoto, we set out for one of our most highly-anticipated destinations, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. We all loved exploring the bamboo forest so much and took hundreds of photos of that magical place. But honestly, no photos can properly capture how I felt being there. Hope you'll get to visit it in person one day ... you'll see what I mean. Until then, here's Vlog Ep. 16 to introduce you to one of Japan's most famous places.
I'm getting around to editing some of the footage filmed during the Japan trip last year. After 3 days in Tokyo, we hopped on the train for Kyoto. Here's Vlog Ep. 15, our travel day from Tokyo to Kyoto. I love riding the train in Japan!
Finally, I had a chance to visit Japan last year. It was the brilliant idea of my cousin Rene who lives in Montreal. With Rene and two other friends, we spent about a week exploring Tokyo, Kyoto and some of the surrounding towns.
Japan is hands down one of the coolest countries in the world. This is my first vlog from the trip. We landed in Tokyo and were staying at an AirBnB in Asakusa. Our timing can’t be better! If you watch the vlog, you’ll see why.
Who would have thought Iceland would turn out to be one of my favorite countries to visit? Here’s why: Vlog Episode 11. Watch it when you have a 6-minute break. Thank you guys!
Stumbled upon GoAnimate today and played around with it. What a cool program especially for me since I’m not an illustrator and can’t draw much of anything.
The result is this tiny short film. Based on a true story. The short is less than a minute long but it took me 4 hours to make.
On my way from Greece to DC, I had a 24-hour layover in Vienna. Here’s Vlog Ep. 9 since I’m still playing catch-up with editing.
Being so behind in editing, I’m forever catching-up with footage shot long ago. Vlog Ep. 8 therefore is about a trip I made to Hoi An with the fam. It was a once-in-a-lifetime Vietnam trip!
Vlog Ep. 7 is up! Come with me to National Harbor. Promise you some sweet treats at the end.
Old Town Alexandria is one of my favorite places to go for a stroll. Vlog Ep. 6 captures an evening in Old Town the other day, complete with coffee, bookstore and bird poop!
Up to now, I’ve been vlogging mostly with my iPhone. I have other cameras, but somehow the small size of the iPhone makes it the most convenient camera to use for vlogging. Today, I bought myself a present! A new camera dedicated to vlogging because it’s about the size of my iPhone and has so many cool features, many of which are perfect to vlog with. Vlog Ep. 5 was shot with the G7XMII. I’m loving it!
