This is an overview of ikan Pivot, the newest 3-way gimbal stabilizer from the company. While I don’t have a DJI Ronin-S for a head-to-head comparison, I’d like to see what it can do and how well the stabilization works, especially with my Canon 1DX Mark II.
After more than a year, I finally relaunched my YouTube channel this week. In the coming years, I’ll be focusing more on filmmaking than photography. Yet the two usually help each other and sometimes work hand in hand. So I’ll still be making photographs. It’s just that I’ll spend more time on creating videos. Please …
Since more than a year ago I posted The Year of Change, not surprisingly, a lot of things have changed in my life. As you may know, change is the only constant in life. So for sure more things will change this year, yet I’d like to call this year “The Year of Rebranding” for …

This was my first time to visit Viola, Wisconsin. Ever since I started my photography business, I found myself spending much less time on my personal work. Although it may not seem very productive, I still made some progress. Not only did I manage to move from 4×5 large format to digital medium format, but …
With some recently acquired equipment, I finally had some time to do violin photography. Although I had attempted that before, I’ve never come to this close to what I really like.
