As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been playing around with my shiny (actually it’s matte black) new Nintendo DSi. One of the new features of the DSi is the fact that it has two onboard cameras (one facing towards you and one facing outwards), albeit sub-megapixel ones. There is a built in camera…
Light Writer is a persistence of vision application for the iPhone. Essentially it’s a tool for using your iPhone to paint with light…and it’s pretty fun to play with. You will most likely need a camera to actually be able to see the effect. A slow shutter shot will allow the full message to be…
As many of you know, I’m a big fan of Crumpler bags. I have one for practically every situation I could need one for. I recently had the chance to ‘trade up’ my 7 Million Dollar Home for a Brazillion Dollar Home (they have the funnest names for their bags): Basically, someone bought a bag…
Thanks to a tip by Ianiv awhile ago, I’ve discovered a great way to post iPhone photos online very quickly and without a lot of effort. Sure you can simply email your photos to Flickr or post them to Twitter via Twitpic, but why not do both at the same time and with more control…
Playing with my Lensbaby Composer and the star disk from the creative aperture kit on my D90 while driving back from Seattle: Sometimes it’s fun when you don’t have to drive.
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a low light sample with the Kodak Zx1 and thought it might be good to see how it compares to the Zi6 so I strapped them together on a tripod: While the cameras aren’t perfectly lined up, the video below should demonstrate low light well enough. Both clips…
Inspired by something Peter told me about that Moose Peterson mentions in his videos, I wanted to find a way to mount another camera on top of my Nikon D90 with the goal being to capture the process of shooting photos sort of through my eyes. Moose calls it his MooseCam but I couldn’t actually…
Last year I was able to check out Kodak’s first foray into the handheld HD camera arena when they lent me a Zi6 for a month. When I sent it back, I immediately picked one up as soon as they were available locally. While not perfect, it was a great little camera for my purposes….
I finally got around to trying out the macro feature of the lens adaptors I bought awhile ago for my iPhone (which I can also use on my Zi6 which has it’s own macro mode): You basically just have to unscrew the wide angle lens and it breaks down into two parts – the macro…
Today was a travel day for getting to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive. Of course, this meant that I brought a bunch of camera gear with me onto the plane…including this handy little suction cup gorilla pod mount for my Zi6 HD camera that you can see on the right. I also added the fisheye…
