This is a compact wide angle (16:9) digital camera. Not as wide as say a swing lens Horizon 202 but it will give you images with a nice aspect ratio.

Realtime LCD for DSLR
This is a handy device, I;m wondering why I haven't seen this in other blogs...
You attach a little doover to the viewfinder to your camera that lets you see your viewfinders display on a moveable LCD. This would be real handy for those times where you want to shoot over your head or real low.

Corpse Bride Has Many Tech Firsts
Corpse Bride is a movie of many firsts; it's the first feature-length, stop-motion film edited using Final Cut Pro, it's the first feature shot using commercial digital SLR still photography cameras and it's the first movie to choose digital cameras over film cameras based on the criterion of image quality.

This is a great use of macro tubes. His other works are pretty impressive as well.

Tortuga 5
The Tortuga (turtle in Spanish) is a five hole pinhole camera that will make either a 240 degree panoramic at once or sequentialy. the example above is what you get if you trigger each shutter while you have it pointed at different objects. Photo merging can have some pretty dramatic results. Someday I will build one of these, or buy one if I can afford it.

High-Res Photo of Manhattan shortly after 9/11/2001
Yes, it it a big file, if your computer is slow you should save it off.
*NOTE* Link is to a directory holding the image. Because the image is so large (14MB @ 9372 x 9372 pixels) clicking the image could freeze your browser. I recommend saving the image by right-clicking and opening it with a program like Photoshop. Image taken on Sept. 23, 2001 from an altitude of 3,300 feet.

Week long paper exposure
This is the (pretty much) original image from my seven day long exposure of my photogram (blueprint) paper test. The image would have been sharper but being open like that for so long there was a serious issue with halation (light bouncing off the emulsion and reflecting back off the camera on to the paper again).

Pinhole Pano Camera

Holga Mods
If your the owner of a Lomo 120 camera you will know that getting 120 developed is sometimes tricky. Well don't be sad, with a little bit of work you can make a ghetto adapter for 35mm film! Cool, eh?

The Pod
I'm so glad that this has a 1/4" screw mount on it, just a bean bag is great to have if your not in the mood to haul a tripod around but it's a pain when you try and position the camera just right. Almost always it will slide a bit and then your back to moving it around again.
Should have some suction cups on it just for good measure but then again the idea isn't exactly new. I seem to remember seeing something like this a few years ago in a Porters catalog.
