My Morning Routine
I wanted to test my GoPro Hero 5 Session’s abilities.
Dark, indoor, overexposed, outdoor, motion.
I pretty much put the little camera through its paces. I think I tried everything, you can see where it held up well, and where the footage fell apart.
Overall I fell it was a decent test and a look at what we do every morning.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
It has been 5 months.
5 months since the island of Puerto Rico was ravished by Hurricane Maria. I went to Puerto Rico at the end of January just to put my eyes on the devastation that the people experienced. Lots of work needs to be done, but I want to share some of what I saw, and a little taste of what my camera saw.
Check out my article on Medium to read what I wrote a few weeks back.
What have I been doing recently? Well I traveled to Puerto Rico to see how things are with my own eyes.
I captured tons of content. Which is visable on my two Instagram accounts @giovanni_arroyo_photography and @gdotarroyo.
I also took my 3DR Solo with me and captured aerial video. The first of which I am sharing above. You will be able to check out more on my Youtube Channel.
All photos and video were captured with my travel trifecta: Fuji XE-1, GoPro Hero 4 Silver or iPhone 7 Plus.
Don’t you want to visit Puerto Rico? There is a lot more to our island than just Old San Juan.

Parkwood Elementary Cares!
This past weekend we packaged boxes for Puerto Rico and Mexico. I captured and edited a short video showing all of us at the elementary working on putting the donations into large flat rate boxes so we can ship them.
Shipping over 50 boxes will be expensive. While Parkwood has raised some fund, they still need more to ship the packages. This amazing community has stepped up and donated the goods, can you help by paying for one box to be shipped?
Contact me [email protected] to be part of the solution and send funds electronically via PayPal. Please make sure you make a note that it is for Parkwood Elementary. I will make sure it goes directly to the Principal. read more
This past weekend our family visited the Kalahari Resort located in the Wisconsin Dells. I only took my GoPro, initially thinking I was going to capture a bunch of video. At the last minute, I decided to just sit back and enjoy myself and not worry about shot lists and capturing footage. I also didn’t think I would put together a video.
Well, the girls did capture GoPro footage, and I ended up putting together this short video:
What do you think? I don’t think it is too bad considering the girls captured the majority of the footage. read more

I shot the video using my GoPro Hero 4 which I mounted to the top of my Fuji XE-1. At some points you can see me focusing the Minolta 55mm f1.4 lens which I love on the Fuji. Leyla got to use my Sony A7 during the class. Speaking of classes, Nancy Merkling hosts some wonderful workshops. Make sure to check them out, they are sure to improve your photography I am lucky enough to teach two.
This year I plan to take a lot more workshops. I want to improve my video editing. I hope to travel more. I have set up a new Facebook Group, after experimenting on Slack and finding that it just didn’t work for most of us. read more
Below is a brand new video. I created it at the last 4th Fridays held at the Starline Gallery. It has Leyla participating in the flash mob that entertained the crowd. Forgive some of the video edits, this was my first time putting a video together using Premiere Pro. I used my GoPro Hero 4 Silver with a 3 axis gimbal to capture footage. Hope you like it. If you do visit my Youtube channel and Subscribe, and make sure to give the video a thumbs up.
