Welcome!

This is my blog for Tom Houston Photography. My aim here is to help share knowledge. I have been fortunate enough to know some very smart and helpful photographers who have helped me a lot with my photography. This blog is how I want to return the favour, give back and help out others.

I hope you enjoy,

Tom

Video: Lighting Gear

Hey folks, so here is a video on what lighting gear I use.  I thought I would make this video since I haven't actually reviewed any of my lighting equipment other then my speed lights and my beauty dish.  So here is a video with all of them together!  Hope it helps.

Video: Magazine Video Review

Hey folks,

Here is my video review of some photography magazines.  When I was looking for which photography magazines were best, I wanted to hear what others thought and I didn't find much to be honest.  So I thought I would share what I had found so far.  Hope it helps!

Video: Nanuk Hard Case Review

Hey folks,

Here is my long overdue review of one of my best pieces of gear I own.  That is my Nanuk hard case.  It has taken a beating and still looks great, works great and most of all has protected my gear.  I trust this case with my equipment and in this video I go over all the features why I prefer using a Nanuk instead of the other cases on the market.

Hope you enjoy this video and I hope it helps you if you are looking what case to get.

Video: Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Cameron Highlands)

Hey folks,

Thought I would post Malaysia's video at the same time as well.  So all my videos from my trip are up now!  Hope they help, let me know if you have any questions.   I recommend checking it out for my advice for Cameron Highlands.  It was a stunning place to see and I highly recommend going there for sure.

Videos!

Hey folks,

If you haven't noticed already I have been on a small video binge recently and have made a lot of videos for my youtube channel as of late.  This is because I have time now to and I had been slacking a little due to school and travelling however that is all over so I have time to make up for lost time.

I just posted four videos on the exposure triangle which include aperture, shutter speed and ISO as well as a summary of all of them together.  I hope this helps and if you are not a fan of listening to me or youtube videos, I still have the blog posts I wrote on the exposure triangle on my blog here.  Just search "exposure triangle" and you will find the posts.

Hopefully they are helpful and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me in a comment on my channel or my blog or you can send my an e-mail to tomhoustonphotography@gmail.com.

Thanks again!

Review: Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW

Hey folks,

In this video I reviewed probably the best photography backpack I have ever seen and used.  This bag is perfect for those who are adventurous and want to have their camera with them safely and comfortably.  Lowepro really hit it out of the park with this bag and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

In the video I go over all it has to offer and why I found it so useful on my travels and trips.
