The science of *Oakley* sunglasses and a Kamio ring light

For those of you who stalk me on DVXUser you'll know that we got a KiniFlo Kamio ring light about 2 weeks ago. I still haven't posted the images but they are on the way. Just have too much work to do to crop them down.

AAAAAnyway. Yersterday we were invited to the Rolling O Lab that was visiting Vancouver. It's a "rolling R'n'D" lab (fancy name for a promotional stunt) where they demonstrate the optical and other qualities of different types of sunglasses and show you why Oakley is a vastly supperior brand.

Now, there are two reasons why you should watch this video:

1. Being a video / photography interested person you'll appreciate the detailed explanation of how the optics work and the demonstrations are really cool

2. you'll see how well the Kamio works with a DVX in a very bad lighting situation.

Unfortunately the guy was wearing glasses so you keep seeing the ring in the reflection but there really isn't anything you can do about that.

So, without further ado, here is the video:

btw, what happened to homeboy's hands? :huh:

yeah, we were wondering that too. Apparently he went to Whistler on the weekend and thought he was a pro-mountain biker. Not so much. his hands were actually pretty good compared to his legs and back. he had a bruise the size of J-Lo's butt on his hip and one of his legs looked like he hand been pulled behind a car for a couple of miles.

guess that's what happens when rad californian guys come to canada and think they're all that and then some ;o)
