The workflow is slightly easier on a PC as you have more software options. With this guide I'll be covering the workflow on Mac. Although the two can be very similar. 

Using your NEX, A7 or Sony A7r AVCHD Video Files On A Mac

The Good Luck Bend

It's also known as Horseshoe Bend. It's located just south of Page, Arizona, near the border of Utah. This is the start of the Colorado River out of Lake Powell. The area is known as Glen Canyon. Hanging this photo on your wall could also bring you good luck. :) One magical characteristic of horseshoes hanging on walls is that they hold in good luck. They have to be facing upward, though. Oftentimes, people turn them upside down, and all the luck pours out.
