Bye bye NY! Hello California!
In a few hours we gonna leave The Big Apple and heading over to The Golden State. NYC was an awesome time!!! The Hurley Pro is the next event we going to cover in our show. I'm looking forward to it! I will post some NY photos asap... though there are tons of pictures left to upload from our Norway-Trip. :)

 

I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow. Can't wait to be back in the city. I haven't been there since 2008. Friends and I will work there and cover the event for Surf Chronicles. And I'm really looking forward to catch some waves too...

There are already some photographs on myFlickr from our recent trip to Norway. Check it out! Here are some of my favorites...

As mentioned in a preview post Sony released three new cameras today. The Sony A77, NEX-7 & VG20. Click here for all the links to previews, videos, specs and so on...
That's the "next level" for video in "DSLRs/SLTs/Mirrorless" cameras! Canon and Nikon are still sleeping... I'm sure Sony will put this into a fullframe camera in 2012. Exciting times :)

Check out the promo videos on amazon.com:

Sony NEX7

A random found I was very much inspired by! Google translates the title into "Deadly and incredibly beautiful" - I agree :)

Carsten from the The Purity Experience did like my Indonesia movie so much he decided to do a quick interview with me :)

I'm on Google+ now.

Let's connect and put me to some of your circles.
High five!

I can see my future in this trailer! Love it! Can't wait for the full film!!!

It's been a while since I posted some tech news but these are hot so I couldn't resist :)
On the 24th of August Sony is about to reveal some exciting new products. The e-mount Sony NEX7 and the a-mount Sony A77 plus some lenses. There is a lot of buzz going on on the internet so I don't want to be too repetitive. Check the links at the end of this post for more information.

Key (video) features among others are:
- AVCHD 2.0
- full HD 1080p at 60/50/25/24p
- full manual control
- 50-16000 ISO
- New 3-way tilting LCD
- three million dot OLED VF

- 1/8000 shutter speed
- 19 point AF system with 11 cross sensors
- 12 FPS (Photo)
- 24 Megapixel sensor
- APS-C

This is the first time Sony is bringing that to the filmmakers. People (on internet discussions) expect image quality across the NEX7 & A77 will be very similar with the FS100 & F3. That would be amazing...
And all this for 1800 Euros (with a 16-50 f2.8 lens included)? I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe it's time to let my trusty hacked GH-1 go... :)
Let's see what the Panasonic GH-3 is coming up with. There are rumors that it will have a global shutter... exciting times :)

Hi there!
We are back since two days. This was a great road trip! It's sad that we didn't had more time to travel around, there is so much to see & do. Three weeks were just not enough. We drove over 7000km. It's a little bit sad too that we both became sick on the trip, so I couldn't do every hike I wanted and went surfing just once - but whatever, that's the way it is. I got antibiotics and a morphine cough syrup and survived ;) Norway is one of the most beautiful countries I've been to, that's for sure! I will come back!
Lot's of work to do now... First pictures coming soon on my Flickr.
Autumn will be a busy time too - lots of traveling and filming on the ASP Tour for Surf Chronicles. More infos about that soon!
Cheers!

Surfed Norway :)

Hi Folks!
It time to hit the road again! Julia and I are going to check out southern Norway for the next few weeks. This is pretty spontanious because initially we did plan tripping southern India. We got already two India visas in our passports but then things changed... I got sick and couldn't do some vaccinations, then we had some problems booking the flight and in addition there were a few other things going on which told us now it's just not about the right time to go. But the day will come for sure, sooner or later...
So Norway is our focus now! I'm psyched, I always wanted to go up there but somehow never managed it yet. We are going to drive all the way, sleep in the car & cook our own food. For sure I take lots of cameras with me. Can't wait to stand on one of those crazy cliffs looking down the beautiful fjord. I will bring a surfboard too because they have some pretty nice spots in Norway, so if it's on I'm in! :)
Hope you guys have a great summertime too!
Cheers,
Roman
