The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
Back in September 2017 I uploaded a video entitled "Wow, the Tamron 18-400mm Lens is Awesome!" Here it is if you don't remember... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57r3RX_aJeg Wow, some people were harsh and gave it NINE thumbs down. Upon reviewing my clip, I realised I wasn't truly showing the range and capabilities of the lens. During a recent... Continue Reading →
My latest vlog includes: A quick review of the new pathways running from the penguin walk to the top of Reeves Point in Kingscote, and A leisurely midday stroll on at least two of the three Kingscote jetties, plus Some good news about me. I say it a few times, the 2nd and 3rd times... Continue Reading →
Watch to the end to see the difference between 18mm and 400mm when I photograph the yellow sign stuck on the rocks through to the next beach! https://youtu.be/57r3RX_aJeg

It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Meh. I was not overly impressed. I had an inkling just a few minutes into this episode of Dr Who, "The Time of the Doctor", that I might be saying this later if not sooner: Oh no, they have over-hyped a show that has none. This Christmas special under-achieved so much that I have no... Continue Reading →
Too often we focus on the imaginary characters of a production - and not on the people that make it all possible. For over 25 years I have been an ardent fan of the television series 'Doctor Who'. Between his regenerations, his varied companions, his choice in clothing genre's, plus the amazing evolution of the... Continue Reading →
