Lomography Konstruktor DIY 35mm camera
A while ago, I picked up the $35 Konstruktor DIY film camera from Lomography. It seemed like a fun project of building your own 35mm film SLR camera. Turns out it was! The camera comes in a box that opens up to reveal two plates of parts (just like old model car kits) and a…

Lytro light field camera: first impressions
Recently I picked up a Lytro Light Field Camera. I’ve only ever seen one ‘in the wild’ and that was at SXSW earlier this year. So what is it? A light field camera is basically a new(ish) form of photography that allows the photographer to change the focus of an image after the fact as…
Tech Tuesday: 3d printers for jewellers & Samsung’s Android camera
This week on News 1130 radio in Vancouver, I talked about these items: Jewellers now have a 3d printer for custom castings: 3d printing has begun to affect another industry with the announcement a new 3d printer, the 3Z Studio from Solidscape, which is targeted at jewellers. The desktop printer creates complex wax patterns from…
Lomography LC-Wide 35mm film camera
I recently purchased a new compact point and shoot digital camera, a Nikon P300. I had high hopes for it’s small size and unique features. Sadly, I wasn’t that impressed with it after using it for a little while and returned it. My iPhone is just too good of a point and shoot camera. So…
Hands on with LG’s Windows Phone 7 smartphones
Recently, my friends at LG loaned me a couple of their new smartphones running Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7. The one on the left, the LG-C900B (aka the LG Quantum) has a slide out keyboard and the one on the right is the LG-E900h (aka LG Optimus 7) which is a full…
Hands on with Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS memory cards
During our recent roadtrip to Austin, Texas, I was able to try out the new Extreme Pro SDHC UHS memory cards from Sandisk. As far as I know, these are the fastest SHDC cards out there (technically they aren’t out in Canada until mid-April) with a whopping 45 MB/s read/write speed (300x) with the new…
So maybe the iPad 2 camera isn’t that bad after all
During the recent Twestival at the Vancouver Lookout, I played around with the iPad 2 camera and photobooth using the kalidescope mode. I think the results turned out pretty cool, if not a little Inception-esque. Being on top of Vancouver probably helped too: The Seabus couldn’t escape either: Even night shots turned out pretty interesting:…
Hands on with the Olympus PEN system
I’ve been shooting with Olympus’ new Micro four thirds camera system, called the PEN, for a few months now. I started with the E-PL1 camera and then in early February, got my hands on the E-PL2 camera. I was even able to get E-PL2’s for my entire team to use while on our SXSW roadtrip….
SXSW 2011 and the epic roadtrip is a wrap!
And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional farewell to the EhTeam as we all went our separate ways after spending the better part of two weeks together in a Chevy Traverse driving nearly 8500 kilometers as we drove…
