Jeremy Cowart on Photography

Jeremy Cowart is one of the photographers i really admire, i follow his work quite religiously. For a guy who is relatively new in the industry, he has enjoyed tremendous success. In this video he talks to Chase Jarvis about his photography.

My name is Kayode and i am wedding photographer based in Lagos, Nigeria shooting weddings for high end brides. You can find me on www.xsightn.com/blog

Sample Video with New Nikon D7000 http://bit.ly/fKyUKu

Sample Nikon D7000 Video

Today i picked up the new Nikon D7000 as a backup camera, first thing i did was to shoot this camera at iso 3200 and i was more than impressed with the result. Second was to shoot video in full HD, i didn't tinker with any of the video settings, i just shot straight out of the camera using the kit lens. I hope someone finds this video useful one day. This video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria on the third mainland bridge reputed to be one of the longest bridges in Africa, somewhere in the video you find a guy "riding" a bus for the whole of the trip.

Kayode is a leading wedding photographer in Nigeria specializing in high-end weddings. www.xsightn.com

Uploading sample video from my new D7000 to youtube right now, will send link in a bit
