Created before The Hypertufa Gardener, I have a YouTube Channel called Kim’s Gardens.

I have filmed a lot of making and creating hypertufa pots and planters, but there are also cooking and recipes and a few films of family too! Check those out too!

Deeply indented sides on hypertufa planterI have made quite a few videos on making hypertufa planters, bowls, hanging pots, etc.  I have many videos about my draped hypertufa planters there also, including the ones here on the posts.

I have also made some videos for the recipes and crafts and activities from my other posts, so feel free to explore and find something you like. I try to keep the videos fairly short so that you can watch them quickly since we are all on the run these days.

Here are a couple of  links . Click and be directed to the video. ( I was experimenting at getting really creative. Or maybe it was two glasses of wine that evening.)

Photos

You know I am frugal and that stays the same even when I am making photos for my blog. Granted, one day I may decide to upgrade to a bigger and better camera. But for now, this is what I use.

My phone camera

I have the LG G6 and I set it for the highest resolution  2560 x 1440 and video size 1920×1080.

You must always take your photos  and especially the videos with the phone held horizontally, not vertically. Trust me.

My other camera.

Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Black) Bundle w/Canon EF-M 15-45mm is STM & Tamron 70-300mm Di LD Lenses + Auto (EF/EF-S to EF-M) Mount Adapter + Basic Camera Kit

It is a Canon EOS M50 and this works for photos and videos.

I recently got a tripod at a garage sale  $5 (after some complaints about how unsteady I was, and it did help a lot).

So for my next gift to myself, I got a tripod too.

Software, the biggest expense

Sony Vegas Pro Suite [Download]

My son was so good to me and got this for me. He used it too for his channel on YouTube, so he was able to teach me too.  He is a gamer. It is a detailed program and has so much capability, more than I have discovered, I know. But I am learning day by day.

I  have dual monitors on my computer set up so that I can listen/read/make changes while looking at two screens instead of toggling between tabs. ( I confess that I do have many tabs open anyway…on both.)  I know my son had a different graphics card in my computer, but most have a dual port anyway if you would like to hook up two monitors.
