James Cameron’s secret has been revealed! This clever little concept was done by the Scientific Analysis and Visualization Initiative at Weber State University using two Kodak ZX1 pocket HD cameras bolted to an L-shaped aluminum bar and mounted on a tripod. Then they just lay the images over each other, tweak the colors to red and blue, and an blammo! Avatar! Or just a couple of birds hanging around, being lazy. [Via Engadget]  You are about to see clips from a zombie movie that was filmed using this camera…
… bricks will be shat.Dead Season is a zombie flick that is apparently the first film shot entirely with the Canon 7D. A fucking camera meant for taking pictures!!! This shit is what I like to refer to as the muthafuckin’ cat’s pajamas. Gizmodo has a pretty awesome review of the Canon 7D here. Help support this site and make me a millionaire by buying lots of Canon 7D cameras from this Amazon link. [Via Gizmodo]
If you have a DSi and $25 to spare, why not waste it on Nyko’s Zoom Case. The Zoom Case takes higher quality images with a humorously enormous 8x zoom lens. The lens can be detached from the case, but there’s still a bulky nub over the DSi’s camera lens, so this doesn’t seem like the most pocket-friendly DSi case out there.
It looks like images taken with the Nyko Zoom Case still retain that DSi graininess, but it’s nice that Nyko’s thinking about those hardcore DSi photogs. The $25 doesn’t hurt much either.
Here’s the detachable lens which actually looks quite sturdy.
And here’s all the whozits and whatnots that it comes with. As silly as it is, for only $25 I think I want one.
The all new Diana Mini 35mm Camera from Lomography lets you shoot up to 36 square format pictures on a regular roll of 35mm film, or with the flip of a switch, you can shoot up to 72 half-frame shots. Half-Frame Format Square Format It can even do multiple and long exposures for some pretty cool effects. The Diana Mini is also compatible with the Flash Plug for the original Diana F+ Camera and it even works with a cable release (thingie that lets you press the “take picture” button from far away) unlike the original Diana. It’s only $60 or $100 if you order it with a flash, and it comes with a lens cap, carrying strap, manual, and the “Shoot Forever” mini book.
Not a bad deal at all. I want one. The thing that kept me from getting the original Diana F+ was the fact that it’s a medium format camera and you can’t get that type of film developed at most places. This is a good way to get that awesome Diana look to your photos without all the fuss of having to hunt down a pro photo lab. Get yours here.
The Lomo LC-A Camera is the most popular camera in all of Lomography. To celebrate it’s 25th anniversary, there’s a sexy new limited edition version that comes in an awesome wooden box. Just like the basic starter kit for regular edition, this one also comes with two packs of film, 1.5v batteries, a cable release. A few things that make the 25th Anniversary Edition stand out from the regular LC-A are the 25th Anniversary stamp on the front and back, a textured leather body (soooo sexy), and this also uses the original Russian lens. The LC-A+ cameras that are sold now have lenses manufactured in Japan. I’ve been wanting the LC-A+ real bad for a while now and was hoping Santa would bring me one for X-mas this year, but I think I want this limited edition version instead. *note to self: shave your patchy-ass grill before shooting the next unboxing video* So yesterday I was ranting and raving about Lomography. My girlfriend was awesome enough to get me this sweet Lomography Fisheye 35mm camera from Amazon and it just arrived on my doorstep! I’ve never owned a camera before, so this is a big deal for me. If you’ve had any experience with Lomography and would like to share any tips and tricks or general advice, feel free to leave a comment, or better yet, get a Seesmic account and leave a video comment! (Actually, you don’t even need a Seesmic account for video replies. You can comment anonymously as long as you have a connected web cam!)
I’m going to an epic party tomorrow that will include Playboy Bunnies, porn stars, Bam Margera, and Nitro Circus and I plan on giving my new camera a test run. I’ll post the pics as soon as they’re developed! Cool Lomography links: The 10 Golden Rules of Lomography:
So I’m on this huge Lomography kick right now. For as long as I can remember I’ve been wanting to get into photography — I even took a photography course while I was going to school for Visual Communications — but I just couldn’t wrap my head around all the camera settings and adjustments and lighting crap. I’d never even heard of Lomography before seeing this video, but I’m totally hooked. It reminds me of pictures in old surfing and skateboarding mags from the 70’s. These are the 4 Lomography camera’s I’m currently torn between.
There’s this sexy Lomography Fisheye 35mm camera. It’s only $40 and I really like the way it looks. It kind of gives me a boner in a way.
Then there’s this cool Lomographic Supersampler Camera that comes with a box, film, and a book with some sample pictures for inspiration. This camera has 4 lenses and takes 4 sequential shots in one photo. It seems like a pretty good deal at only $45, but I’m no expert on these things.
This guy’s just badass. This is the Colorsplash and it gives each of your pictures a cool tint of a different color. If you just search for ‘colorsplash’ in Flickr, you’ll find some really gorgeous pictures. The only downside is this one’s $55.
Or I could just keep things simple and go with the Diana F+ Medium Format Camera. I’ve done some research and this seems to be the most popular Lomographic camera out there. It’s only $45 on Amazon, but I’d kinda like some goodies with it and the starter kit that comes with cool stuff is a whopping $85! Too rich for my blood. I’m working on blog wages here. One thing that scares me about these cameras is the fact that they’re made pretty cheaply and some are shipped with defects aka they don’t advance film properly, they shred film, the inner lenses shift, the flashes stop working, etc. Anybody have any experience with Lomography? I’d love to hear any advice, suggestions, or general thoughts!  |
