This is one of those ideas I couldn’t have not in 1million years from now.

This is a very simple method of creating a tripod for your camera.

To be honest I haven’t yet tried it out so I do not know if it works 100% but that’s for sure that it helps when the lens doesn’t have an image stabilizer or vibration reduction.

Take a look and if you try out this method let me know about the result.

John Downer created an wonderful experiment. He attached cameras on four elephants and let them walk free into the jungle.

The purpose of the experiment was to obtain photos from the wild jungle that not even with the most powerful telescope lens he couldn’t obtain.

As you’ll see some of the creatures look very funny like they are really giving us a smile. My favorite photo is the one with the leopards that were caught while they were playing. Look at the big leopard, how he stopped and looked at the elephant who carried the camera as if he was caught doing something bad.

I usual don’t write about movies, but this one captured my attention. First the name ‘Shutter‘ told me that something has to do with photography. Well the idea of the movie is a creepy one but it is about photography.

A newlywed couple Ben and Jane move to Japan for a promising job opportunity - a fashion shoot in Tokyo. During their trip on a dark forest road they experience a tragic car accident, leading to the death of a young local girl. Upon regaining consciousness, they find no trace of her body. A bit distraught the couple arrives in Tokyo to begin their new life. Meanwhile Ben begins noticing strange white blurs in many of his fashion shoot photographs. Jane believes that the blurs are actually spirit photography of the dead girl who they hit on the road, and that she may be seeking vengeance.

I would have believe in these kind of things 15 years ago when I was into creepy and weird things. Now I think they pus the limit too far with another movie after Grunge and The ring.

I just hope people won’t rush to buy digital cameras just to try catch the glimpse of a spirit that lives in their home. Please tell me you won’t do that!!

Here you can see the trailer and an extended version of the trailer.
Enjoy!

Here are some new photos of cool objects hand made from linens, wool, mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed and lot of other things.
The idea of recreating objects and animals that surround us is not a new one but the result of the creation is something worth to take a look at.

National Geographic published a collection of photographs of extreme places on Earth. I guess I will never get to see these places in person so I just have to admire the photographs.

My favorite is the first one with the blue iceberg and all those cute penguins on top of it.

What is your favorite?

- Blue Iceberg -

- West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone -
