Canon Eos R5 - A Journey from Beginning to Today

Image
The introduction of photography/videography for me can be traced back to the early 2000s when our family would use the Sony Handycam or even the Canon Eos 500N ( a film camera from the early ’90s) to create memories that were beautiful and long-lasting. Although there were the usual point and shoots in our house such as Vivitar, Sanyo, and Panasonic along with a Konica Minolta film camera, it used to fill the photographer inside me with joy at looking through the world with a new lens. The first proper exposure to photography for me came in 2015 when I had just joined college for my media course and the mood was to create content. My family decided to get me the canon 1200D due to the fact that I used the camera from a friend a few months ago and was impressed by the usability and the basic fact that it just works. The kit came with the two standard zoom lenses (18-55mm & 55-250mm) and fulfilled the needs to cover various topics such as product, model, landscape, silhouett

Hyundai N - the performance brand that is setting car goals literally !!

For those who have been craving the performance of a supercar in the body of a hot hatch there were only a few options ranging from the gold standard Golf GTI, Megane RS, Civic Type-R and even the Focus ST/RS but today, the hot hatches that we have come to love and enjoy have become more complex and single-minded in giving the end user only a certain point of enjoyment such as fake sounds, lap records and even hybrid tech rather than focusing on the best things such as a well weighted steering, a fun engine and best of all a brilliantly balanced chassis that is sure to bring up the smiles of any person driving it in a back road. Hyundai, on the other hand, seems to be changing those perceptions and with their hatches, they have been changing the game recently, specifically thanks to Albert Biermann who has been responsible for making the company's cars fun to drive and enjoy. If that name seems very familiar then it should because he was the very person behind all the legendary

Fujifilm XT2 - From an automotive photographers mind and perspective

Image
This review might be a little different but automotive photography is a field that is catching up very quickly and is one of my main interests along with writing. The most important thing for any photographer in this field is the camera and it should be one that can keep up with the moving vehicle and also have enough autofocus speed to capture the moment at the right time. To sum it all up it needs to be a workhorse. Fujifilm is one manufacturer that looks to have its own take on photography with their X-Trans sensors and brilliant cameras and their flagship XT2 is the culmination of all their efforts with this sensor type and for these types of purposes, this camera is a perfect fit for the budding photographer who wants to take cars. The camera contains a 24-megapixel X-Trans sensor which is of the Bayer format and of APS-C variety which means it is smaller than full frame and being mirrorless means that lenses are extremely light and the inbuilt electronic viewfinder helps one t

The State Of Need For Speed Right Now

Image
Need For Speed has always been a game that is close to my heart and I have been playing it since I was 5 years old and I am very glad to say that they have come a very long way. The following you're about to read is from my point and there may be some games which I have not played so you will have to excuse me for that. To reminiscence from the beginning, my first need for speed was the second part where there was 2D like 2-bit graphics and the cars ranged from the legendary McLaren F1, Ford GT90, Ford Indigo and not to forget the insane Jaguar Xj220. After that in a quaint hobby store in Mumbai was where I got the next one that is Hot-Pursuit 2 and that was okay for me in terms of racing and difficulty. then came High Stakes which I played for a very short time. To be fair though my mind was in a different state that time and never was I so serious as I am now, a little playfulness is expected here. For those who have played every game in this series, a word of caution

Genesis G70 - Korea's 3-Series rival becomes official

Image
The BMW 3-Series has been a sedan that has enjoyed the love of enthusiasts and critiques all alike thanks to its handling, space and comfort which made it the ultimate driving machine for so many years. The car has been on the top spot for so many years that there has frankly been no real competition for it even though there were many attempts from the Japanese, British, American and even the Italians to upstart but most of them have their cons. The guys from Korea have been different very lately and the best example is the Hyundai genesis which launched in 2008 to tackle the Germans and was indeed successful. Genesis has now become a full fledged brand and with their cars they aim to the on the Germans with their own take on refinement and luxury experience. Meet the Genesis G70, the Korean’s answer to the 3-series and revealed today in Seoul, this sedan looks primed and ready to duke it out with the competition. We can clearly see some proportions
