Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera - They Do Exist

Just to quickly report, we have received our first BMPC. It has already gone out to the first person on our pre-order list. They are finally starting to trickle in. Hopefully we will see more soon!

Things You Don't Expect To See In Life, Part XVI

Your Dudeness was in the burger joint The Works yesterday for the first time, and while scanning the menu, came across this burger - Sexy Sarah Polley Burger ... named after Canadian actress and director Sarah Polley.

Not something you'd expect to see on a burger menu. Does she know about this?

There was also the Neil Young burger. DV Dude had neither - just the boring, but tasty, Smokey Mountain burger.

DV Dude gives his thumbs up to The Works, but his favourite burger joint still remains Magoo's, at Royal York and Dundas.

Cool iPhone App, Part I - Stuck On Earth

Since DV Dude is about to impart on his annual summer vacation, here's one final blog entry that is fitting for a summer day.

There are a ton of cool apps out there for your iPad, iPhone or Android phone, and this is one of them. Essentially Stuck On Earth is a map of the world, and as you zoom into a specific place, say the Scarborough Bluffs or Yosemite National Park, it shows you pictures of that exact place that other photographers have already taken and uploaded to Flickr or other sites (with the GeoTag info).

What this does is let you pre-scout places to go photograph by seeing what other photographers have already done. DV Dude used this app before going to Mono Lake, California in April, and is was really helpful on figuring out the best places to go. It is sort of like Google Street View for photographers.

The promise of the internet and sharing crowdsourcing information hasn't quite really been harnessed that well, but this app shows what a little ingenuity can do.

Check it out on their web site - www.stuckonearthapp.com, or in the App Store or Google Play store. Highly recommended.
