Stumble Upon

Today we’re going to be looking at a free to use application from the Windows 8 app store called “Stumble Upon”. What this application does is keep track of all of your interests and brings up multiple websites and articles based on that interest. All of this is displayed within a good looking tile based environment. From here, if you find something you like or are interested in you can like and share the post to all of your social networking accounts with just a click of a button. Aside from that, the next best thing we can talk about it the tiles and things within the environment itself.

Review: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Lens - Test Images/Video

At a price point of around $100, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens is on the radar of many new DSLR owners. I decided to get my hands on one six months ago and I haven't regretted it for a minute. Listen in on my thoughts paired with some test photos/video to help you decide if this lens is right for you!



As seen in the test footage, this lens performs beautifully in low light situations. This lens also gives your shots a very cinematic look with dramatic depth of field at the 1.8 aperture setting. I highly recommend this lens for any and all DSLR owners due to it's affordable price and impressive image quality. The plastic body is a sacrifice when mounted to a sturdy DSLR camera. You will never want to use your kit lens again! Except for vlogging, as mentioned in this video... ;)

Unboxing: ADJ Color Burst LED

I like to mess around with DJ equipment, especially the lights. So last Christmas my parents got me this Color burst LED. What it is? Its a four colored LED mixer. You can personalize it to go as fast or as slow as you want it, and my personal favorite is the impression. That means that once you switch on the sensitivity personalizer, the lights will move, switch, and mix to the sound and mood of the music playing. Its like a smart board for lights.

Review: Joby GorillaPod

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

• White (as shown on video)
• Yellow
• Red
• Green
• Pink
• Blue 
• Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!
