DalyDose of Cowboy Studio Light Kit

The Nokia Lumia 1020 does well in a variety of shooting situations, but one can never have enough light.  I have access to bigger, professional lights when I can coordinate with my friends who own a production company, but I needed something to use at any time.  I hopped on Amazon and found this inexpensive kit with a good reviews from The Cowboy Studio. 

Here’s the Amazon link to the kit: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Photography-Portrait-Continuous-Umbrellas/dp/B003WLY24O

How’d they work? Well, you know I shot a video right?  LIGHTS, camera…action!

My 1st Nokia Lumia 1020 Video Test

No, the pictures to the left are not from the video shoot.  I did a photo shoot in Venice and those are some samples. Nice, huh?  I know, you came here to see some video footage, but wanted to share that with you as well as a couple of “phone” bits of info:

* One thing that I miss from the 920? I miss the wireless charging. I’m so in the habit that I still place the 1020 on the wireless charging pad for no reason.

* One thing that the 1020 has that 920 doesn’t?  The wrist strap. I know I mentioned that already, but I feel so much more secure with that thing on.

I promised to chime in on non-imaging issues/observations, so that’s that for today.  Now to the video, after the break.
