    CrunchCool: Russian Typhoon class submarine

    Posted on March 9, 2010 | No Comments
    Here’s something old, but definitely cool and worth showing you. Livejournal user Igor113 posted some pictures from his trip to… somewhere in Russia. He loves to travel and take pictures, and these are some extremely cool photographs of some rusted and cool equipment. Igor did apologize for the quality of his camera though, and requests [...]

    The blind camera shows you someone else’s pictures

    Here's an interesting item, from artist Sascha Pohflepp. It's called Blinks and Buttons, and it's a "blind camera." Possessing no lens and no viewfinder, the "camera" still takes a picture when you press the big red shutter button.

    Electron microscopes get their record groove on

    Electron microscope photography is cool, and it's been around for a while, but that doesn't mean that that they can't still find cool things to take pictures of. Take a record for example. It's amazing to look a those little tiny grooves and see how raw and uneven they are, but still able to produce beautiful music. It's even more amazing when you compare the analog to the digital, and see how clean and uniform a CD is by comparison.

    Ricoh CX3: 10 megapixels, with back-illuminated sensor

    Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
    I’m just wrapping my head around CMOS and you spring this on me? This Ricoh CX3 is a 10-megapixel shooter with 720p video recording and “Pets” scene mode. But what the heck is a back illuminated sensor? DPreviewHas the full release but you’re basically looking at better low-light performance with the back-lit CMOS. I honestly don’t [...]

  • DIY: The Ikea camera dolly

    DIY: The Ikea camera dolly

    Posted on January 14, 2010 | No Comments
    Here's one of the easier projects I've seen on Make in a while. Take an Ikea "Ivar" ladder, lay it on the floor, and use it as a camera dolly. Just the thing for shooting video, I could have used one of these while we were in Vegas. The best part about this project? It's cheap. You're looking at roughly $30 worth of parts to build this.

    You know, you could have just asked me to put my camera away, Mr. Drunk With Power bouncer

    Posted on January 9, 2010 | No Comments
    Why do nightclub bouncers think they're above the law? I attended a Divx party at some place called Moon at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas for CES. (Divx actually has some neat stuff on the way, but that's a matter for another day.) Like always, I had my camera, a Canon DSLR, hanging around my neck. This, having a camera, wasn't an issue at the Divx party, which ended at 11:00pm, but it most certainly became an issue a few hours later. Photographers take note! Following the Divx party, which was 100 percent okie dokie, another one started up. People were welcome to stay at Moon just that it was no longer a Divx event. I think the new party had something to do with the Adult Video Awards or whatever. With this new party, apparently, came new rules, rules that were not made clear to attendees who had stayed over from Divx. The rule that got me in hot water: no cameras allowed.

    So we know what a DSLR is, we know what a P&S is, but what exactly do we call those little portable camcorders? Is it an "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" camera? Well, cnet is asking just that question, and you can contribute to their poll if you'd like. Or hang out with us cool kids.

    DIY: build a medium format film camera from scratch

    Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
    It's amusing to me how sometimes how I'll be considering a particular subject and then randomly find a DIY project related to that subject. For example, I'm been considering getting a medium format film camera, just for the experience of shooting in that format. Apparently I'm not the only one, because Peter J at the Medium Format Camera Project has been building his very own camera.
