As I sat shivering and eating my poutine under the red glow of the Canadian Tire sign, I thought to myself “could be the most quintessentially Canadian experience ever?”

There is also something about eating an apple straight from the tree that is pretty amazing and increasingly rare these days.

The place is abuzz with people and commotion. Tables line the edges of the central hall leading up to the wooden ship bar. A brass band plays 30’s style jazzy tunes, tucked away in the corner behind a tiki bar.

The egg and mayo combo that comprises the sandwich filling is indeed fluffy and light. There’s a sweetness to it that is subtle and delicious.

While all of Copenhagen is an absolute delight, this small several block enclave is the perfect mix of shabby chic, Danish design, hipster coffee, and great eats and drinks. In fact, I found myself here several times over my stay in Copenhagen, and would a recommend a trip to this neighbourhood to anyone.

A working trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013 with Canadian Humanitarian led to perhaps one of the best photos I have ever taken. Taken on a rickety carousel that led to a near vomit experience for the photographer, this photo is the culmination of a day spent with some wonderful students in the Ethiopian capitol. This image was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm F4 IS USM lens.

Rather than a standard photo tutorial, Behind the Photo is meant to be a real world example with technical information on how the photo was taken. For BTP No.01 I introduce the idea and a photo from 2001 shot on Fuji film in Fukuoka Japan with a basic Minolta SLR camera. This was the first picture that truly inspired me and encouraged me to pursue a profession in visual arts.

Most of the popular systems now make recording into the camera from one or two wireless mic transmitters relatively simple.

What used to weigh over 5 pounds and cost $500-700 dollars is now a little larger than a credit card and weighs mere grams. 4TB SSD drives now pack enough punch in a small package to be a serious tool in mobile video production.

if you had to sum up the difference between the two similar looking mics it would come down to these two features:

The Wireless Go II can record audio as well as transmit audio, and works with up to two microphones.

The Wireless ME can record up to 3 microphones, but has no onboard recording option.

I think when considering your first lighting kit for your camera, whatever the brand may be, you first need to determine the main application for the lighting.
