It's the ultimate travel camera!
It feels like we're already in the future as DJI just announced the Osmo Pocket. It's their smallest handheld camera which literally fits all sorts of pockets. However, being small doesn't mean it's terrible. It can shoot videos up to 4K at 60 frames per second.
It has a three-axis gimbal that reduces shakes and jitters plus it has an extension rod that makes taking selfies a breeze. It's also featured-filled!
It has facetrack technology which focuses on your face while activetrack focuses on any moving subject; FPV mode follows fast-moving shots. Lastly, there's motionlapse that captures better timelapses and can take your videos to another level. It can also stitch together images with 3×3 panorama and take great low-light photos with nightshots.
If you like to go to the beach, the Osmo Pocket can come with you thanks to a waterproof case. It's definitely the ultimate travel camera!
Who exactly is it made for?
Looking back at technological trends of the yesteryears, there are certain patterns that we can see. One example is how devices have a tendency to become smaller and smaller over time — having better functionality in smaller packages.
During the 90s, cellphones were as large as walkie-talkies and later on shrunk when the likes of the Nokia 8210 came about. Fast forward to now, and not much has changed.
Stabilizers for professional cameras started out as huge rigs and were worn around the entire body. The size got reduced for DSLRs, then smaller for smartphones, and now, a full-blown three-axis gimbal with its own 4K camera can now be held and operated single-handedly.
This is the DJI Osmo Pocket. As its name suggests, it's built for portability and ease of use since it easily slips inside the pocket. We've seen it coming, though. All DJI had to do was to take its camera-mounted stabilizer from its consumer drones and turn it into a handheld standalone product.
Having a stabilized camera for video shooting is the main reason you'd want to buy this. Although, there's more to it than just capturing footage smoother than with your smartphone. For this review, we tested out its features, saw what works and what doesn't, and compared it to another big name in the portable camera category: GoPro's Hero 7 Black.
DJI has pretty much polished the accompanying app for its drones and once again, they only needed to make a specific app for the Osmo Pocket. Called DJI Mimo, it's made for this handheld device as an all-in-one software for shooting in Professional Mode and editing clips to produce a short video.
Those who have tried flying the company's drones through the DJI Go app will feel at home using DJI Mimo. The layout is familiar, even with how the settings are lined up. Through this app, it's easier to go for the Pro Mode that lets you have control over your settings. Remember: It's always better to be able to tweak separate values the way you want to so you can achieve the shots you have in mind.
The sensor shoots 12MP photos and videos can go up to 4K at 60fps. You can also choose to go for a high frame rate of 120fps to achieve smooth slow-motion shots. Other features include First Person View mode, Active Track, and Motionlapse. We made a short video showcasing these shooting modes.
With its 1/2.3-inch camera, the Osmo Pocket has the same sensor as the first Mavic Pro. And, together with its RAW photo capturing and D-Cinelike color profile, you can turn your photos and footage into a cinematic piece good enough for professional use. Details are sharp during the day, and digital noise — although still present — is kept at a minimum when shooting at night. Recording videos at Full HD resolution is enough for your usual social media posts, although you can always go for 4K if you need a little wiggling room in manual post-production.
When you talk about a compact camera that would do great for travels, GoPro's name almost always comes to mind. I personally have a lot of friends asking me which to go for between these two. I don't blame them since it's pretty common to see them as an alternative to the other.
If you simply want a handheld camera that shoots good photos and stabilizes your video clips, then I guess you can compare and choose between the two. For a quick shootout, we took side-by-side shots of a few scenes on both cameras. These were shot in standard mode and some samples were captured in GoPro's wide mode to show the difference in field of view.
Now that you have an idea of their image quality, it's worth noting that these two cameras are not so alike. Sure, they both have great video stabilization and offer a compact form factor, but a GoPro is more for adventure and sports with its wide selection of mounts and accessories. The accessories for the Osmo, since the product is still fairly new, are mostly sold out or not available in stores. Either way, these do not provide the same flexibility of use the GoPro mounts offer.
Another major difference is that the Osmo Pocket is not water- and dust-proof, unlike the Hero series that always has water resistance as part of its offerings. You could say the target market for these two cameras could be represented as a Venn diagram showing two different devices that slightly overlap with one another.
So who is it made for?
If the Osmo Pocket isn't direct competition for GoPro, to whom does DJI target this device? To answer that, let's first see where the Osmo Pocket delivers.
It's very handy and easy to use. I went on an interstate trip in the US with the Osmo Pocket just in my… well, pocket, and taking it out and powering it up when I needed it was easy. Because of that, I'd say it's definitely made for sightseeing during out-of-town trips.
Battery life is also satisfactory. During my travels, I made sure that the camera was fully charged before leaving the house. This would usually last me an entire day's stroll — shooting photos and videos of the new places I visited.
Although, I'd still recommend bringing a dedicated powerbank since the battery isn't removable like GoPro's. And the battery understandably drains a lot faster when you shoot hyperlapse and other special modes.
Switching its camera from forward-facing to selfie mode happens in one swipe plus a tap, so it should be easy for vloggers to shoot while talking and even walking. Do take note, though, that audio reception through its built-in microphones can get tricky at times since it's easy to cover the pinholes for the mic when you grip the entire body.
The company has already rolled out a firmware update that lets you access Pro Mode on the device itself without needing a smartphone to attach. This is an appreciated update since it's not all the time you can afford to connect an extra smartphone just to go to the advanced settings.
However, having two ways to shoot would be a lot easier whenever you want to take your time and perfect your shot. This makes the Osmo Pocket a good tool for cinematic videography, as well.
If you require more robust and flexible shooting equipment, you might want to look at GoPro's selection. But if you find yourself doing the things mentioned above, the Osmo Pocket would fit your needs, undoubtedly.
I had a Hero 7 Black with me during the same trip and I only brought it out whenever I needed a wider shot or when I used a specific mount to capture a timelapse from a compromising spot.
The DJI Osmo Pocket is available internationally for US$ 349, but you can get one from Philippine retailers for around PhP 23,000.
I can still remember that "blogging" was just another tech-related term that people were not that familiar with when I was a kid. Little did I know, it was really destined to become the next big thing. With the continuous growth of people using the internet, the popularity of blogging made people experiment on it even further — specifically blogging through videos. Thus, the birth of the "vlogging" generation.
A couple of days ago, Sony held an event at the ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, which gathered vloggers around Southeast Asia, particularly those from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
It wasn't just about Sony displaying their existing cameras in front of the crowd; they talked more about how creating these imaging solutions (specifically the Alpha, RX, and Handycam lineup) paved the way in helping vloggers capture quality content, and get recognized for the vlogs they have been doing for the past years.
There were queries answered by the General Manager himself, including questions about certain devices, plus the lack of ports and features on select devices. He was also asked about choosing his own camera if he were a vlogger himself. He bravely answered that he would choose the Sony A9 as his vlogging companion. It was even said that the reason why Sony focuses on the Southeast Asian market is all because of the steady popularity of vlogs that you can't find elsewhere — not even in their home country, Japan.
There were also presentations made by some vloggers about how the use of Sony cameras and equipment helped them in making quality content. One talk was presented by beauty vlogger Rei Germar.
Rei Germar (@reigermar), a popular beauty vlogger from the Philippines, talked about how Sony RX100 VA helped her in doing makeup vlogs (especially with the HD quality and skin tone accuracy). The smooth skin tone also comes handy.
More vloggers from Southeast Asia had a quick talk and presented their vlogging equipment with the Sony camera lineup.
They also tackled how great Sony cameras are when it comes to producing quality content.
Cutting the story short, these vloggers choose Sony cameras for their performance, portability, usability, and even durability over time. The fact that Sony also listens to its customers is what makes them a reliable imaging brand over anything else.
After all the talks, the event was successfully concluded by Sam Tsui, a globally renowned YouTube superstar with more than three million subscribers. Talking about how this popular brand showcased a lot of popular icons, these vloggers lined up to have a star-studded photo opportunity with him.
At this event, I realized that vlogging isn't just about taking videos; it also leans more on self-expression. Vlogs may focus on beauty, travel, lifestyle, and fun, to name a few.
Bottom line is these people don't do vlogs just because they are bored; they do it because it is their passion and they want to express themselves more to those who are watching behind their screens. After all, people are getting more invested in vlogs as another form of entertainment, and at the same time, they serve as helpful information for most people.
During the #VlogWithSony event in Singapore, Sony surprised everyone when they announced the new RX0 II, the successor to Sony's RX0. Sony claims that it's the world's smallest and lightest ultra-compact camera to date at just 132 grams.
The Sony RX0 II looks like its predecessor but has the old (but nifty) features, such as the 15.3MP Exmor RS image sensor with Zeiss Tessar 24mm f/4 fixed lens, Anti-Distortion Shutter and up to 1/32000-second fast shooting plus a burst rate of up to 16fps, and S-Log2 to name a few.
The new 4K internal video recording records 1.7 times more data without pixel binning, thus preserving more details without compromising the overall video quality. The enhanced BIONZ X image processor is capable of bringing better color reproduction and natural skin tone — all great for vlogging. There are also four percent more frames with its 1,000fps slow-motion recording, as opposed to the previous 960fps.
A big improvement is the addition of the in-body electronic stabilization (EIS) with gimbal-like smoothness even when handheld. Other prominent features are the tiltable 1.5-inch screen and real-time Eye AF (autofocus) tracking, which are both found on the higher-end Sony Alpha camera lineup, including the recently launched Sony A6400.
On top of those, there's a feature called "intelligent framing" which detects a subject then keeps it in the frame, while image distortion is corrected after the video is shot. Editing clips through the RX0 II is also handy as you can transfer your photos and videos to your smartphone and edit them with your desired editing app.
It is not just ultra-compact, but also ultra-robust with its 10-meter waterproofing, two-meter dustproofing, and the crush-proof feature that can withstand up to 200kg of force.
It can still be used with the shooting grip, which can transform into a mini tripod when you stretch out the grip's legs or add a complementary bracket that can attach more accessories to it, which will be made available in a RX0 II kit in select Asia-Pacific countries.
The Sony Imaging Edge Mobile app can control up to five RX0 II cameras wirelessly, while buying a separate Camera Control Box can help you control as many as 100 wired cameras.
The device will retail for about US$ 700, which is the same as the launch price of the older RX0 launched two years ago. In the Philippines, it has a Suggested Retail Price of PhP 39,999.

Born in Yorkshire, Ralph Alcock had a career as an academic in Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the USA before returning to the UK to take up a post as Principal of an FE college. Since retiring, he has completed two crime novels (Hidden Identity and The Loving Son) and is currently working on his third.

He was invited to read from The Loving Son at a fringe event of the Association of Writers Conference in Boston, USA and has had a number of book signing events at Waterstone's stores in the West Midlands.
This is a story of the strong bond between mother and son, whose relationship contrasts starkly with that of William and his proud and arrogant father. Jealous of his son's musical talent, he is equally jealous of his wife's success. It is against this background that William's world crumbles when he is charged and convicted of murder.

Just the right size for my bathroom and reflects my new cement tile flooe design.
It's the perfect size for our guest bath, and it's a solid, heavy stainless steel with a modern, polished finish. It's definitely easy to clean, and looks great. A big improvement over the plastic wastebasket we had before (which eventually cracked), and at a reasonable cost. This one should last forever.
Solid little trash can that looks neat and clean.
Looks very nice, so much better than the ones that are plastic made to look like stainless.
Awesome in looks and functionality aaaaa+.
Very nice looking in our bathroom.
Perfect size for under my bathroom vanity.
Looks great next to my chrome & glass desk. Can also be used to set a house plant in.
Does the job for which it was meant; however, when i opened the package it was easy to see the rim was bent pretty substantially. Thankfully, it's just a trashcan.
Trying to all stainless in our bathroom.
Looks nice with my chrome bathroom stuff.
My trash isn't on the floor.
This is a lightweight stainless trash can. Looks great in my bathroom; however, it could be a little smaller.
Not likely this will dent easily. And a perfect size for my powder room.
Why should anyone pay $25 for a little trash can?. First, it's not plastic, which is just- nice to have real, quality, enduring things. Second, this is well made (double walled, strong, dent and scratch resistant. Third- i got no end of compliments. (i saw it at a friend's place, thought it was fancy, looked for cheaper ones. ) this really brings durabilty, and a clean look, to any bathroom, kitchen, etc and – satinelss steel. My friend's hasn't rusted etc, and is dent free after years of use. Still shiny and bright, and easy to clean and sanitize.
I ordered this because my toddler broke the porcelain wastebasket i had in our master bath. The finish on this and simple design as well as the great price sold me. So glad i did, it looks great, nice quality and so far unbreakable by little hands.
Exactly what i was looking for. Priced right, arrived on time and in perfect shape.
It is a bit larger than expected, but that is just fine. It fits perfectly in the small space between the toilet and the vanity in our newly remodeled bathroom. Looks great in there as well.
This is a beautiful garbage can. I can't believe i just said that about a garbage can. It is actually a bit larger than it looks in the picture.
Excellent bedroom trash can, sooooo much better than settling for plastic or basket.
They are ok better choices im sure out there.
I am ordering more for my other bathrooms.
Perfect size for small office, bathroom, or bedside. I had bamboo ones before, but these are so much easier to sanitize and not be so stinky. Quality is great and i may need a few more. Size is smaller, so read the product dimensions. The seller was great w/ prime shipping.
I love the polished look in my bathroom.
Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The trash can is solid, sturdy and perfect for the purpose and is easy to clean.

Future threats

Aamina Zafar examines a Swiss Re report highlighting emerging risks caused by the pandemic
Covid-19 has shaped the top two emerging risks for the insurance profession this year, according to a new report. The insurance sector faces an immediate danger from mothballed facilities, where missed inspections and delayed maintenance have amplified the risk of larger accidents as operations resume at
oil refineries, chemical plants, mines and power plants.
The second biggest threat comes from so-called 'zombie' companies – unviable firms that have only stayed afloat thanks to coronavirus relief efforts by governments across the globe.
These hazards are highlighted in Swiss Re's report, entitled Sonar 2021: New Emerging Risk Insights, which was published in June to encourage conversations on emerging threats to the sector.
Reopening facilities
The 49-page report flags up how the pandemic has put maintenance and inspection work under pressure because of the lack of availability of contractors and equipment. A consequence of a global economy in trouble has been a squeeze on maintenance budgets in many industries and a delay to planned works. In the oilfield services sector alone, there was a £15bn cutback in maintenance budgets last year. However, there are still risks from using mothballed facilities as the world returns back to normal thanks to the gradual end to Covid-related restrictions.
Chris Andrews, director of risk management solutions at Aviva, believes firms must strike a balance between reinstating plant, equipment and premises and keeping employees and customers safe. He says: "As we move out of almost all the restrictions the pandemic put on British businesses, many will be rightly optimistic about returning to pre-pandemic operations. However, they will need to balance the latest market conditions with the short-term challenges of reinstating plant, equipment and premises, as well as keeping employees and customers safe. This may well be complicated if they have diversified during the lockdowns, which we know many businesses did, or if their supply chains have been impacted as a result of changes in availability, cost or delivery timings.
"To overcome these challenges, we would urge all businesses to ensure their risk assessments are continually reviewed in accordance with the latest government guidelines, making sure that any changes are communicated to staff and training is completed and documented properly. An important change to note is that the rules have now changed to guidance, which is more flexible, so it is imperative that records are kept up to date detailing why certain decisions were made and what controls are in place."
Swiss Re's Bernd Wilke believes the firms that do well to cope with the backlog of missed inspections will be the ones that have a culture of safety and reliability.
The senior emerging risk manager says: "Those that have a safety- and reliability-first culture will do well. Insurers should look at how big the maintenance backlog was before Covid-19 and how long it is now. If it has not diminished, insurers should be very careful and consider their offering in respect to the capacity they want to provide as well as in pricing of the risk.
"Safety-first should be the guideline. That will also pay off for the insured as a damaged facility will not produce in times of high demand."
The rules have now changed to guidance so it is imperative that records are kept up-to-date detailing why certain decisions were made
Unviable companies
The report also highlights how the level of financial support that many companies have received. The increase in the number of such firms – known as 'zombie' companies – is a problem because it distorts markets and makes it harder for the insurance profession to distinguish between those at risk of defaulting and those not.
The report suggests that zombie companies may simply not be able to pay back their borrowing, leading to a notable increase in non-performing loans. It also argues that zombie companies are less productive and lower a country's aggregate productivity.
This is echoed by Jerome Haegeli, group chief economist at Swiss Re Institute, who says zombie firms must be avoided at all costs as they weigh on productivity. He adds: "Zombie companies are the ones that kill growth and prevent new jobs from emerging on the horizon. Zombification of our economies should be avoided at all costs, with government support needing to exit now and to bring market forces back. Resilience is creating growth buffers to absorb shocks – and growth needs to come ultimately from private investment and demand. Research clearly shows that zombie companies weigh on productivity."
However, the repercussions of zombie firms may not be felt for some time as, for example, the UK government continues to offer financial support to firms that are struggling as a result of the pandemic.
In July, the UK government published statistics that showed businesses across the UK have benefitted from 1,670,939 government-guaranteed loans worth £79.3bn. These loans helped support their cashflow during the crisis, through schemes delivered by the British Business Bank. This included 1,560,309 bounce back loans worth £47.36bn; 109,877 loans worth £26.39bn through the coronavirus business interruption loan scheme; and 753 loans worth £5.56bn through the coronavirus large business interruption loan scheme.
New figures for the bounce back loan scheme top-ups now reveal that 106,660 loans have been approved worth £0.95bn.
Commenting on the continued financial support from the UK government, Zanele Sibanda, head of internal markets at Towergate Health & Protection, says: "Although the bulk of the government's financial support was delivered early on in the pandemic and the numbers suggest that this was a well-timed and welcome injection into the economy, there are still a number of schemes available and yet to launch later this year. So, it's clear that the government is committed to keeping the economy afloat beyond lockdown. Secondly, we saw many businesses innovating to keep trading when restrictions were imposed early in 2020, so I expect that business owners will be able to do the same, and find different ways to do business as the economy shifts and returns to a pre-pandemic trading environment."
Other concerns
The report, which aims to inspire conversations about emerging risks so that the insurance profession and its clients can continue to build resilience, also highlights many other problem areas that have arisen as a result of Covid-19. This includes the risks attached to insurers turning towards artificial intelligence. The analysis found that while this promises a personalised, fast and intuitive end-to-end insurance experience, the profession needs to beware of the limitations of such technologies.
The report argues that the lack of cognitive skills is why humans are still needed to take care of cases that require special handling. It adds that integrating all automated systems, and also making them work with humans to offer a reliable and efficient end-to-end customer experience, can be challenging and costly if not executed carefully.
The report highlights a recent case in the UK, where an insurer was fined for overreliance on voice-analytics software, which led to some claims being unfairly declined or not adequately investigated.
Ian Mckenna, founder of Financial Technology Research Centre and AdviserSoftware.com, says technology can benefit the insurance sector but may also bring added risks.
He explains: "Artificial intelligence and related technologies are increasingly becoming a fact of life in modern society. These emerging technologies will bring huge benefits to society, but we do need to recognise they bring with them risks.
"In the past couple of years there has been a growing recognition that artificial intelligence can build in biases if strict protocols are not adopted to eliminate them. Now this issue can be understood, it is possible to take action to prevent artificial intelligence bias.
"It will be crucial for the industry to work with regulators and government to ensure artificial intelligence delivers on the enormous potential it can offer humanity by putting the right safeguards and checks in place."

I'm fifteen. Books and music are givens with me. I'm still trying to figure out just what I'm good at, and I'm not a hugely wonderful writer, and I rarely write anything I like, but if you like some of my stuff, hey, I am absolutely flattered. So there it is then.
Apr 29, 2008 I don't know that it "needs" it - if you had a specific reason for structuring it the way you did, or preferred it that way, I'm don't have a problem with keeping it the way it is. But if you didn't have a specific preference, combining the lines makes it take less space on a page.
Apr 27, 2008 Hi Kenzie, in looking through "Jewelious" a second time, I noticed that your first two lines have four accents each, while the remaining lines have two each. Do you have any objection to me combining the two syllable lines in pairs to make four syllable lines?
Apr 21, 2008 Hi Kenzie, I just sent out an FMOF newsletter, and it looks like yours bounced back. If your email address has changed, you should update your profile!
Anyway, I wanted to let you know, you have two pieces that we'd like to include in the anthology; if you click on "My Page" and "Anthology", you can see those.
Mar 7, 2008 What do you mean?
Feb 22, 2008 Well you are ahead of me, I have not tried to drive yet.
Feb 22, 2008 Yep, I am in Maine... and I do not have my license, Do you?
Feb 22, 2008 "they should get together and make a band." That depends, where do you live?
Feb 21, 2008 Josiah says that he will never admit it.
Feb 21, 2008 Yep, and Yep.
Feb 21, 2008 I just read your "about me", I'm Fifteen to.

Did you know there is no such thing as a domesticated elephant?
There is an estimated 15,000 Asian elephants in captivity. Most captive elephants are found in zoos, circuses, tourist and work camps, or privately held. The large majority of these elephants endured severe physical, mental, and emotional trauma at a young age to break their wild spirit and then train them for work.
Contrary to popular belief, captive elephants are not domesticated. 'Domestication' means the animal has been bred by man through many generations to bring out characteristics that man finds appealing and useful. Captive elephants are, instead, tamed wild animals kept in captivity. Genetically speaking, there is no difference between a wild and a captive Asian elephant. Therefore, the best elephant-friendly facilities will replicate the elephant's natural environment as closely as possible.
Since all elephants are wild animals, regardless of whether or not they were born in captivity, they must be tamed in order to be worked or trained for human use. The taming process, involves breaking the wild spirit of a baby elephant so it will submit to the will of man. Elephants are usually broken between the ages of 2-4 because they are easier to handle at a young age. The use of small holding pens to immobilize the elephant, physical beatings, use of whips, sticks, nails, fire, sleep deprivation, joint stress, and the withholding of water and food is common. Elephant breaking techniques vary from country to country. In Thailand, it is commonly called the 'phajaan'. There is some debate about how to correctly used the word 'phajaan'; however, it does not change the reality of the brutal breaking process. In Sri Lanka, an attempt was made to break wild an adult elephant. This attempt failed, and resulted in a brutal and tragic death.
Sadly, most captive elephants facilities do not provide proper care. The elephants physically endure overwork, improper diet, lack of clean water, foot ailments, musculoskeletal problems, chain wounds, improper climate, skin disorders, and more. The elephant's emotional and mental wellbeing is often overlooked. Mental and emotional disorders caused by early separation of calf from mother, harsh taming methods, isolation, boredom, oppression, and living in fear of physical pain are common.
Read about Elemotion's Captive Philosophy here.
Stereotypy, a constant rocking or bobbing behavior, is a psychological disorder only seen in captive elephants. It is coping mechanism due to poor welfare conditions, trauma, and extreme stress. Many tour operators, irresponsible elephant managers, and poor quality mahouts will try to explain this behavior as 'happy dancing' or 'the elephant is being silly'. This is absolutely FALSE.


I was disappointed to see the Washington Examiner, which normally publishes great work, join the recent flurry of guilt-by-association press reports reacting to my advisory role to Rep. Matt Gaetz.
The most recent Social Security trustee report was released this week. The major news from the report isn't really new, and the relevancy is more that predictions of the future have remained relatively constant.


Social media is by far the great tool ever created for making the world smaller and our personal and professional networks larger. And since everyone is different, people use these tools for different objectives. Some prefer to remain anonymous while they chime in on conversations, while others, seeking stardom, would sell their right kidney to have someone mention their name. Every log in is an adventure with no telling what the next few moments will bring.
Many professional speakers use social media but most of them use it wrong. They see it as a virtual extension of their speeches and simply talk to their audience while completely ignoring what's coming back their way. While this is one way to use social media, it's not the best. Most people don't care about your blog posts, coupons, tips, events or products unless they know something about you. So if all you do is post this "me" information– everyone is going to ignore you.
I recently took a step back from social media because I found things getting to be quite intense and wanted to reflect on the role it's played in both my personal and professional life. No, there weren't any heated arguments or steamy love affairs. Instead, I found myself falling into a trap that many people fall into when it comes to social media – getting too immersed.


It's been an eventful 12 months for this famous family.
For the British royals, 2018 will undoubtedly go down as one of their biggest years yet.
What with a new royal baby, two big royal weddings, a milestone birthday and a not-so-little pregnancy announcement, it's hard to believe so much could happen in one year.
But much like the generations of monarchies before them, the renowned family has taken it all in their stride, and the thousands of images capturing their countless engagements are case in point.
One rather prominent photographer who was there to see it all was Chris Jackson of Getty Images.
Chris, who has worked as a royal photographer with Getty for 13 years has build a strong relationship with the royal family, even being entrusted to capture the official images of Charles and his family for his 70th birthday celebrations.
Speaking to The Australian Women's Weekly earlier this year, Jackson said when all is said and done, the royals are just like the rest of us.
"At the end of the day they are a family. What I like to try and capture in my images are the relationships between the family members," he said.
But that's not to say the things he's seen and experienced with the royals are anything less than extraordinary.
"We've had some big years in the past, like the Jubilee year, but  is another huge year," he explained.
And as we reflect on the past 12 months gone by, Chris has pin pointed to INSIDER all the royal occurrences that really stood out to him.
Take it from the royal professional himself - the following images are the very best moments straight from the House of Windsor. Sit back and pour yourself a cuppa, because there's no denying this was one helluva year.
2018 was filled with momentous events for Prince Harry and Meghan, and their mammoth 16-day royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga was case in point.
The tour in October also coincided with the Invictus Games, which were founded by Prince Harry himself for injured or sick armed service personnel and veterans. While in Sydney, the Prince delivered a rousing speech to the audience.
The newly minted Duke and Duchess of Sussex also visited Bondi Beach while on their royal tour of Australia. The visit included a discussion with OneWave, a local surfing community group which works to raise awareness for mental health and well-being in a fun and engaging way.
During a visit to Greece in May, Charles was captured taking part in a traditional dance, and it was clear he was enjoying himself!
In a moment the world had been waiting for, Duchess Catherine and Prince William welcomed their third child, Prince Louis in April. As Kate stepped out just hours after giving birth, Chris captured this stunning moment between the new mother and son.
Shortly before the royal wedding, Chris captured the soon-to-be Duchess of Sussex sharing a sweet moment with a young girl at the Commonwealth Day service in March.
This stunning image of pregnant Kate being escorted to a state dinner in Oslo, Norway during the same tour was also a highlight. The Duchesses elegant Alexander McQueen gown was a personal favourite of Chris's.
In January, the newly engaged couple visited Cardiff, Wales. Being one of Meghan's first public walkabouts with the royals, Jackson was impressed with her manner and poise as she met fans.

Sarah Hallam Douglass, död 1773 i Philadelphia, var en amerikansk skådespelare.

Hon var verksam i Old American Company 1752–1773, där hon under de första femton åren spelade de ledande kvinnorollerna.  Hon tillhörde därmed de första skådespelerskorna som uppträdde i Nordamerika. Hon var först gift med Lewis Hallam och därefter med David Douglass.

Hon ärvde sin förste makes teatersällskap vid hans död 1755. År 1756 förenade hon sin avlidne första makes sällskap med sin nye makes, och bildade därmed Old American Company. Hon var verksam som skådespelare fram till sin död. Hon beskrivs som högt respekterad även socialt i Philadelphia, där hon hade sin bas, vilket var anmärkningsvärt eftersom skådespelare under denna tid vanligen ansågs ha låg social status.

Hon var mor till skådespelarna Lewis Hallam Jr. och Isabella Mattocks samt ingift faster till Nancy Hallam.

My beach vacation wouldn't be complete without a little time dedicated to decorating my planner. So, I filmed a quick Plan with Me Beach Theme in my Erin Condren Life Planner for July 2015.
I think because my work life is so scheduled, when I'm on vacation, I prefer to go with the flow. So, my planner decorations were less about planning things out and more about journaling what happened. I like being able to look back on the pages later to see what fun things we did.
I did leave space on the right side for more true planning. And after filming the video, I did spend a few minutes writing in the associated details. At least what I had done or planned at that point.
I had a lot of fun doing this beach theme. I literally filmed this at the beach house with the majority of my family around, so I did my first try at a voiceover. Let me know if you prefer me talking with the planning or doing voiceover later. I think one downside of editing this was it took much longer. But, the upside is that I made it a lot shorter overall since it was easier to cut out the excess footage.
Also, sorry for the weird camera angle. I managed to bring my tripod to the beach but left the connector piece at home. Doh! So, I had to get a little MacGyver up in the beach house to figure out a way to get the camera to point down. I had the camera strap held up by this metal decoration piece on the dining room table, which was propped on a wooden box. And the camera was sort of tied down with a plastic bag since I couldn't find string. I posted a photo of this hilariousness on Snapchat. It wasn't perfect, but it worked okay.
Hope you liked my Plan with Me: Beach Theme (Erin Condren | July 2015).

They achieve this by helping create a healthful bacterial balance within the host's gut.
After 5 weeks, the researchers analyzed the rodents' microbiomes. They found that the bacterium had changed to develop new characteristics.
"In a healthy, high-diversity background we didn't capture a lot of adaptation, maybe because this is the background that Nissle is used to," reports first study author Aura Ferreiro.
"But you have to remember that quite often we wouldn't be using probiotics in people with a healthy microbiome. We'd be using them in sick people who have a low-diversity, unhealthy microbiome. And that seems to be the condition when the probiotic is most likely to evolve."
"If we're going to use living things as medicines, we need to recognize that they're going to adapt, and that means that what you put in your body is not necessarily what's going to be there even a couple hours later."
"There is no microbe out there that is immune to evolution," continues Prof. Dantas. "This isn't a reason not to develop probiotic-based therapies, but it is a reason to make sure we understand how they change and under what conditions."

Barclays CEO says Lehman deal had to have "buffer"
June 22, 2010 by Best Growth Stock in News
By Chelsea Emery
NEW YORK (BestGrowthStock) – Barclays Plc chief executive said on Tuesday that he would not have recommended the purchase of Lehman Brothers' core U.S. brokerage business if the deal did not show a gain for Barclays, or at least an even exchange.
"We needed to be able to establish to the board and to regulators that there was a buffer between the" value of trading assets and trading liabilities, Barclays Chief Executive John Varley testified in U.S. bankruptcy court.
We "had to be sure we could have at least capital neutrality," he told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck.
Judge Peck is being asked to decide whether Lehman's claim that the U.K.'s third-largest bank should pay it as much as $11 billion for an unfair windfall when it acquired parts of the defunct brokerage in September 2008.
Barclays denies the allegation and maintains that it is owed $3 billion which is says Lehman's bankruptcy trustee is withholding.
Varley testified that he had to be certain that Lehman's assets were priced accurately amid the turmoil that followed the bankruptcy of Lehman, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank on Sept 15, 2008.
"I was fixated on the need to make sure that the assets being acquired were being marked at realistic valuations."
ACCUSATORY LETTER
Lehman lawyers introduced a letter from JPMorgan Chase & Co head Jamie Dimon that accused Barclays of misleading the court.
"The Bankruptcy Court was told that Barclays Capital was to receive $47.4 billion (not $49.7 billion) in securities and to pay $45.5 billion (not $45 or $45.2 billion) in cash," Dimon wrote. "In addition, the Court was told that the reason for the change was a deterioration in market prices, an explanation that we now know to be incorrect."
Varley said the letter's inaccuracies made him groan.
"We had counter accusations on a number of other points in this letter," Varley said. "I read it and inwardly groaned."
All the accusations in the letter were ultimately addressed, he said.
The trial, held at Manhattan's bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York, has brought the testimony of the top architects of the Lehman purchase. Judge Peck approved the deal just days after Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection becoming the largest U.S. bankruptcy in history.
Varley said the Lehman deal occurred during "the riskiest week in my life."
'DOG'S BREAKFAST'
Earlier on Tuesday, Barclay President Robert Diamond testified as to the difficulty in valuing Lehman's assets.
Barclays was "struggling to find (Lehman) securities," he testified. "Some had no value on the books, some were more illiquid. It was a real dog's breakfast. There were some issues with marks being old and some marks were fairly current."
Diamond was also asked if the judge had received all information about the valuation of Lehman assets at the September 19, 2008, sales hearing.
"I have confidence that the lawyers from all sides presented the information that was necessary for approval," Diamond said. He was not at the sales hearing.
The case is In re: Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 08-13555.
