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!
I 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.
Acer G226HQL Bbd 21.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Display
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.
