DIY LED Ring Light for your Digital Camera
November 24th, 2009
“Ring light is basically a light that is placed around the objective. In close-up and macro photography it covers the subject with even light that seems to come from all around the lense. This removes all the shadows from the surface of the object. A great thing if you are shooting a photo for a ring that you want to sell on ebay or some hardware close-ups for a review article.”

Making a medium format digital Holga camera
September 16th, 2009
Alex sent me a DIY he just posted on how to fit an old Holga camera with a Medium Format digital back!
“We did it with an Imacon 96 digital back, since the company went out of there way to emphasize how it could be “adapted to any camera”…”
Nice.

Long live the Polaroid Webcam
February 29th, 2008
What to do when the global stock of instant film has been depleted? Turn your old Polaroid camera into a web cam! Re-purposing this cultural icon (is it the theme of the week?) is a great idea, bringing this classic design into the 21st century. A great gift idea too.

I altered the time stamp so this post shows up yesterday, because I was out having a nice dinner with friends instead of writing this entry. Hope you won’t mind.
Nikon D200 hotshoe GPS

Great hack for Canon Nikon D200 owners: make a relatively cheap GPS that will transmit coordinates to the camera. Take a picture, and it gets stamped with the GPS coordinates. Not too shabby. I guess this would be great for traveling bloggers, photojournalists, or even artistic projects.

Minimalist travel camera monopod/tripod
February 19th, 2008
This nice contraption is incredibly simple, yet surprisingly effective. It replaces a monopod or tripod where you don’t want to carry a cumbersome piece of equipment. Basically, you screw the spool onto the base of your camera, then you loop the other end of the rope onto your foot. With the correct cord length, your camera will be stabilized because it will be held down by the string as you push it up.
