A shot from our first significant snowfall this morning. I've started adding titles to the first slide of my photo carousels on Instagram. Helps provide some context for the set, hinting that there's a story to the collection and that it's not just a random group of photos.

While working on filming the next podcast episode, I came to realize it's worth hooking up a wide-angle lens versus using the webcam. With the wide-angle, your face isn't so "close" to the screen, and it's much easier to cut clips. An iPhone or a Mirrorless cam works fine for this.

I was experimenting with trying to "save" this shot with some additional cropping and editing, but in the end, I think that I like the zoomed-out version better. A reminder that sometimes our original inclination was right, and more "tweaking" doesn't necessarily mean "better."

Just updated my social profile bios with a new Linktree page. Here's why I made the switch https://linktr.ee/mytogblog

When should you seek to monetize your content creation? If you ever plan to scale things up, the answer is as soon as possible. This will help you learn, build systems, and attract the right audience.

I did this exercise early this morning to help envision the content plan for next year. It's a good way to think beyond constraints and more towards what we'd ideally like to see in our own content. Combine with a mood board for maximum effectiveness.

Even when we're posting consistently, we still have periods of higher and lower productivity as content creators (measured in quality and quantity). Here's what I've learned about coming out of low-productivity periods.

It can be tough to create a good corporate event video, but here are some tips to help make it a little easier based on my experience. ⬇️ https://youtube.com/shorts/C5I3PSG4YfA?feature=share

My first remix with Ideogram AI! 😀🙌 The left shows an original generation from Mystic POD, the right shows the remix from Ideogram. Mystic is excellent, but oftentimes any model needs a bit of help to finalize the result - either from a person and/or another AI.

I started working on the edits for Podcast Episode 41 this weekend, using some of the fantastic AI tools in Descript. One thing I've learned from previous experience: it is better to go a bit lighter on editing "filler words/phrases" and focus more on "section relevance."

One of my favourite photos from our recent trip to Montreal. I loved the contrast between the lights and bright yellow leaves, and the grey weather and concrete. Always a good thing to look for in photography. #streetphotography

Chances are, you'll solve your system-level blocks before you fix your mindset blocks as a content creator. In fact, demolishing the last of the systems-level blocks may be what it takes to realize the mindset blocks were the main barriers all along.

The laptop battery is now down to 10%, so I'll keep this brief.🪫 Note to self: Always pack the charger or have an extra one handy. 🗒️ What piece of gear or accessory do you need a note to self for?

🚨 Here's one caution about AI ideation 🤖 AI doesn't know what we don't know. Some topics that seem interesting and straightforward can be a lot more nuanced than the AI idea suggests. That's where our own research and experience become so important.

Mistakes with location-based footage are often impossible to recover. Some things can't be "fixed in post," and reshoots can cause massive delays. That's why it's good to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to help prevent this.

I hit a record month for views this October. 😀🎉 What was the difference? I think it came down to these three things.

My spookiest photo ever! 👻 It's called chromatic aberration, which is a phenomenon that occurs in photography when light interacts with the lens. It usually just looks like a green dot, but it interacted with my reflection in the window, creating the ghostly face. Happy Halloween! 🎃
