Having recently gotten my hands on both a Garmin Virb as well as a (Camp Master) Camp Dome 600 I decided to put them both to the test. I packed up the tent and family, and we headed to Lake Eland for a weekend of camping and camera testing. Below is a time lapse, straight …
With a brand new tent gathering dust in my cupboard I decided that it was time to take the family camping. Being the middle of winter meant that the Berg was out of the question for Emma’s sake. I therefore decided on the “warmer” Lake Eland, located roughly 30kms inland from Port Shepstone. We left …
