Got knocked off my posting streak due to a technical glitch, but I'm working on getting right back at it now that it's cleared.

I was up to about 63 before it happened, which is the highest it had been in a long time.

Good reminder -> Consistency over perfection.

Winter can be a challenging time to practice photography, but with a little creativity we can still come up with some good options for different conditions and locations. Here are a few of my favourites.🌨️

I think many people still feel they can tell the difference between a real and a fake photo, whether that's true or not.

This is especially true if the photos are of a real place they've been before. There's a sense you can't be fooled by what you've seen.

PS - These are all real.

It's worth giving it a try if you post on Instagram.

Another way to do this is to combine text on all the slides with photos.

I think that works because it adds a bit more authenticity than just a bunch of text and graphics, which people increasingly associate with AI.

A shot from our first significant snowfall this morning.

I've started adding titles to the first slide of my photo carousels on Instagram.

Helps provide some context for the set, hinting that there's a story to the collection and that it's not just a random group of photos.

While working on filming the next podcast episode, I came to realize it's worth hooking up a wide-angle lens versus using the webcam.

With the wide-angle, your face isn't so "close" to the screen, and it's much easier to cut clips.

An iPhone or a Mirrorless cam works fine for this.

I was experimenting with trying to "save" this shot with some additional cropping and editing, but in the end, I think that I like the zoomed-out version better.

A reminder that sometimes our original inclination was right, and more "tweaking" doesn't necessarily mean "better."

I did this exercise early this morning to help envision the content plan for next year.

It's a good way to think beyond constraints and more towards what we'd ideally like to see in our own content.

Combine with a mood board for maximum effectiveness.

My first remix with Ideogram AI! 😀🙌

The left shows an original generation from Mystic POD, the right shows the remix from Ideogram.

Mystic is excellent, but oftentimes any model needs a bit of help to finalize the result - either from a person and/or another AI.

One of my favourite photos from our recent trip to Montreal.

I loved the contrast between the lights and bright yellow leaves, and the grey weather and concrete. Always a good thing to look for in photography.

✨Creative cross-purposing can be a superpower for content creators 🎥

Our Open House event today at Georgian College exemplifies how I've learned to do this, allowing me to maximize my creative output without burning out. 🔥

I used it to help design the concept for this episode, "A Week in My Life as a Part-Time Content Creator." It's a lot simpler, and I hope it will be more effective than my original design (shown here).

What I like about the 1of10 Finder AI thumbnail tool is that it follows the "Rule of 3:" No more than three main elements per thumbnail.

That keeps the thumbnail designs super simple, and therefore more "clickable."

We're just back from four amazing days in Montreal, Quebec, with Design and Visual Arts students from Georgian College!

Just back from a few days in Montreal, Quebec.

Looking forward to sharing the photos and stories of what we were up to.

Lots of ideas and inspiration coming out of this.

Mistakes with location-based footage are often impossible to recover.

Some things can't be "fixed in post," and reshoots can cause massive delays.

That's why it's good to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to help prevent this.

I hit a record month for views this October. 😀🎉

What was the difference?

I think it came down to these three things.

Sunset at the Georgian College Barrie Campus, looking back from J. C. Massie Field.

I got this shot while filming a quick clip for an upcoming video at the end of the day.

Whatever happens with the video, it was worth getting out there for the view.

There are many great video editing programs available, but the one I'm using most for desktop editing right now is Filmora by Wondershare.

Here are six features I use to bump up the quality of my edits in minutes.

My spookiest photo ever! 👻

It's called chromatic aberration, which is a phenomenon that occurs in photography when light interacts with the lens.

It usually just looks like a green dot, but it interacted with my reflection in the window, creating the ghostly face.

Happy Halloween! 🎃
