Remember the good ole days when you and your poppy would grab your mitts and head out to the yard for a rousing bout of lobbing a ball back and forth until you started to get too aggressive, so he ran you down and tackled you, permanently leaving you with a speech impediment? What if you could share those moments forever with up close and personal photos? The TosPom is a ball-shaped camera which snaps photos as you throw it... Continue reading

Ever wish you could stare up at the sky and see the stars move, without having to track one specific star for hours on end? This excellent time-lapse photo shows the movements of the stars through a full night, and we don’t mean in some artsy-fartsy design sort of way. The finished product looks like a tunnel or worm hole has opened and ripped its way through the heavens. Good thing the photographer had a clear and cloudless night. Excellent... Continue reading

This type of technology is probably a good many years away, but what would it change in the world of photography? Imagine a camera featuring a huge array of sensors which use stereo photography to create a picture perfect depth-of-field, which you don’t need a forklift to carry around with you. This is what Stanford researchers have unveiled as a project in progress. Of course, a technology such as this always raises more questions than it answers. How will the... Continue reading

While you can buy a level at your local hardware store which will ensure your camera is sitting on a straight plain, now there is an iPhone-led alternative. Photographer Ben Long whipped up an iPhone app called iLevel which uses the phones built-in accelerometer to determine whether the phone is laying... Continue reading

Lego bricks can be put together to accomplish almost any task as long as you have the right parts and mechanics. The Lego Camera Mount is a computer-controlled movable tripod on wheels. Using some strategically chosen Lego pieces, the creator of the Lego Camera Mount created a way for the mount to take photos on demand, while riding around on mini-treads. — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]

One of the things that holds back most D-SLR cameras is the lack of a built-in on-screen viewfinder. We still have to rely on having the camera right up by our face to snap a shot. The Zigview S2 Digital Viewfinder lets you control the shutter and see what your shooting from a distance. As long as you have a cable that’s long enough, the sky is the limit (if you also have a staircase to heaven.) Thanks to a... Continue reading

Here is a really odd story. Eidos is producing a Lara Croft action figure for little boys to molest. Now, when you think of someone that could model for the doll, you’d think along the lines of say, oh I dunno, Angelina Jolie or someone like that. The tall looks more like Woody Harrelson then anyone else. Maybe even Madusa. But perfect Lara Croft? And call me crazy, but isn’t odd that the majority of the pictures taken are of...
