Check out this picture. What does it look like to you? If you guessed ballpoint pen, you’re correct. You win absolutely nothing because it wasn’t that difficult of a question to begin with and I’m not writing about a contest. However, if you’re into photography and want to be able to take macro photographs like the one shown above, there’s no need to pour your life savings into your camera just to do it.

Photocritic.org posted this awesomely creative approach of lengthening the 50mm lens of the Canon 20D by means of a Pringles bottle.  With the mod, the user is able to take all kinds of zoomed in photos of everyday things.  I wonder what Sarah Palin’s face really looks like, up close and personal. Come to think of it, I’m better off not knowing.

Listen, there’s no time to explain. Government agents are looking for you. They’ll blend in, disappear and even take the persona of family and friends. Before you know it, your own dog could be working for the feds. You’ll need eyes everywhere.

That’s where the Delta spy kite comes in. A kite with a camera capable of snapping photos from 25 meters high. Not even the NSA will be able to touch you at that height. Shred all your personal documents with your spy pen, put on your spy glasses and let that kite soar. When your all done with reconnaissance, just plug the camera in via USB and upload the dirty little secrets to your computer. For $57.40, you’d better snag it before it self-destructs.
