Visual Vibes - He Nailed It

Do you remember Ben Brown from three months ago? Not that it was the only time I mentioned him, but it was the last time that he released one of his Visual Vibes videos. So guess what happened this week: Buffer Festival in Toronto, Canada. A festival bringing content creators from YouTube to theaters all over Toronto. Many more or less famous YouTubers showed their latest creations and milestones and gave a little background information to each of the videos. Also pretty much everyone had a meetup after the screening where as many of the fans as possible got the opportunity to take pictures and get their questions answered.



So, this is Ben's latest masterpiece: The Canada Visual Vibes. Shot on his sponsored trip through Canada two months ago he captured the amazing wildlife and breathtaking views of mountains and ice-cold blue-water lakes that are spread all over the country. The editing took it's time (also because of the Seven Swims where he produced seven awesome videos for Lewis Pugh) but it turned out wonderful. I don't know what it is like if you don't know about the adventures he had in Canada, because for me it is also a awesome recap of all the things he did with Steve Booker and all the other people on the trip.

So whether you want to see what Canada might be holding for you or just like awesome film making you should definitely take a look at this video and subscribe to Ben for daily vlogs and travelling Visual Vibes.

Alien Post - Snapseed

If you are on Instagram you know how hard it is to get a badly shot picture right so you won't embarrass yourself in front of you followers. The Android and iOS app Snapseed is a super easy and free way to edit your shots for Instagram or any other pictures taken with your DSLR and in-phone camera. You have more possibilities than with the in-app Instagram editor and also the modifiers are better, both usability and performance wise.



You can decide how far you want to go: from basics like brightness and saturation or getting the framing right to rather arty features like center focus and HDR scape. However, it is super intuitive and every time you try out a new modifier you get an overlay with all important information for controlling it.

You don't always have to bring big changes to the colors, sometimes you might want to make it look like it wasn't even edited at all. But some pictures just scream for a make over.

Or maybe the are some spots in the pic that are too dark. Just use the selective adjust to boost these spots and dark alleys become fun and colorful.

So if you want to edit your shots on the go or just don't want to spend money on Photoshop or an professional app, this is perfect for you. Sometimes I even sit there for one hour or more to get the picture to where I think it's finished. You don't even have to know what you want, just tweak it 'till you like it and spread it out to the internet.

Blogs To Read - Nicole Eddy

So, may I introduce: Nicole Eddy, 22 years old, from Cape Town, South Africa. Her blog, named after herself, isn't that old yet - she released her first post on May 15, 2014. Besides that, she's currently studying psychology. And media & writing. And environmental & geographical sciences. Business as usual, right?

Of course, Cape Town is the perfect place for adventure lovers. Mountains to climb, oceans to swim and surf in, the South African nature in general is full of awesome views, places and animals. At least that's what I'd say. As I've never been there and been used to the Central European flora and fauna all my life, that isn't that much of a scale. But I would really love to go there for a month or two to explore the city and all other kinds of adventures.

Her posts are mostly divided into three categories: With her Lifestyle posts, Nicole shows us what she likes to do and how she lives her life. Most part of the Travel posts is her London Journal, a series of posts that let us follow her through her 3-week trip to London, where she visited her boyfriend Ben Brown (maybe you remember him from an earlier post). Actually, without him I wouldn't have know her at this point, thanks Ben. So the last major category is Issues of Our Time. Rather serious topics, that make you think while and after reading it. Also you should really take your time for these as they might come out a little longer than other posts.

Yeah, I'm really happy that I found her and love her style. If you want to know more about or read some of her posts, go over to http://www.nicoleeddy.com or follow her on Bloglovin.
