    Exclusive drone footage captures west Mosul in the throes of war

    Amazing that humans can create and innovate with technology like the very drones we use but be so destructive and terrible as the results displayed in the very footage our innovation allows us to film. Quite a sick twisted irony really.

    Review: Polar Pro Cinema Series ND Filters - Shutter Collection

    I recently received my Polar Pro ND filters and wanted to share with you my feedback.
