Do you have a crafty friend who likes to learn new crafty skills? Then these Wool and the Gang kits are perfect. The Money Honey clutch kit is nice because it’s cute and simple and will definitely teach your friend a new skill.

Dahlias are pretty much the best flower ever and they brighten any garden. With so many varietals, in all colors, it’s difficult to choose what you want from Swan Island Dahlias. So it’s nice that they offer collections. The cut flower collection is perfect, so when they finally bloom in the summer, not only will your gardener friend think of you, they will also have beautiful flowers to gift someone else.

When I was younger, I used to collect one-inch pins from all the bands that I would go to see. I think I still have my collection somewhere. Once I got older, I decided it’d be way cooler to have my own pins made. So, now I get them made to commemorate every event in my life. They also make great gifts. I had some made of my brother last year (along with some stickers) and they were a big hit with all his friends.

This is a little bit photo nerdy but the variable neutral density filter has been a great tool to easily control the amount of light entering my lens. I’ve been using this for street photography so that I can reduce the number of settings I’m changing on the fly. The rotating built-in ring gives you continuous control of the amount of light filtration, from 2 (ND 0.6) – 8 (ND 2.4) stops. In short, there are three main uses for ND filters: 1) blur motion with slow shutter speeds, 2) further separate subjects from their background, and 3) reduce overall brightness in video that would cause overexposure.

One thing that’s been difficult to wrap my head around are types of memory cards and the main differences are between them. Faster cards equal quicker save times. This allows for continuous shutter bursts and rapid shooting. The new UHS-II cards have an extra row of contacts which makes data transfer even faster. This is especially great for video. 4K footage can be recorded smoothly with no dropped frames at rates of up to 120fps.
