We’ve seen some super-detailed photos of different celestial objects taken from space. But now, we have the highest-resolution photos of the Moon ever captured from Earth. And what is particularly interesting, taking them required a transmitter less powerful than a microwave. A team of scientists has captured and engineers used the National Science Foundation’s Green […]
No camera out there is perfect. No camera can ever be perfect. There are just too many different needs out there to be able to pack them all into a single camera, as a lot of those needs are mutually exclusive. Every brand, and even different camera models within a single brand, all have their […]
Satellite images have captured the moment that an iceberg five times the size of Malta broke away from the Brunt ice shelf in Antarctica. The iceberg had been monitored since 2012 after the first crack was discovered, and scientists have been predicting its calving for years since. The European Space Agency‘s (ESA) satellite Copernicus was […]
One of the difficult things we do when shooting video is matching multiple cameras. Unless you happen to have several cameras of the same model, with the same lenses and same setup (and sometimes even if you do), there are always going to be at least some differences between one setup and the next. Sometimes, […]
RED seems to have been fraught with controversy pretty much since they first launched way back in 2005. The big issue at the moment – and for most of the last few years – has been their patents covering raw video. It’s a long drawn out topic that’s currently being fought out between RED and […]
AI has been used for all sorts of different art projects so far, but we have never seen an AI time machine. Well, not until now. An anonymous artist has created one using AI technology and paired it with lots of knowledge, effort, and time to create amusing selfies “from the past.” His imaginary persona […]
I believe you’ve heard of those fraudsters who live abroad but still try to claim welfare from their home countries. But did you know what they submit as “proof” that they’re still living at home? Badly photoshopped photos. I’m talking “Oprah’s third hand” bad, and even worse. The UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) […]
Blind Spot Gear, the company behind 2018’s original Power Junkie, is back with an update. It’s the Power Junkie v2, and it’s just launched today through Kickstarter. If you’ve no idea what the Power Junkie is, it’s a battery plate that takes Sony NP-F style batteries and provides outputs with which you can power other […]
In the “Microcosmos of Winter,” I wanted to show never-seen-before footage of a soap bubble that starts to freeze. I previously tried to film this two years ago with my Sony 90 1:1 and Raynox DRC-250, which only allowed me to shoot at about 2X magnification. However, the weather in Germany at that time was simply […]
