Pinhole Cameras That Are Actually Meant To Be Used
If you’ve been searching for a pinhole camera to enjoy and then pass on to your children, you’re in luck. Industrial designer and carpenter Elvis Halilović has created a beautiful line of handmade pinhole cameras. Wait, you haven’t been looking for that? Huh. OK. Nonetheless! These oddly compelling wooden boxes will make you feel like you’ve always wanted one. That’s the point of Kickstarter, right?
Apple Patent Would Turn Your Friend’s iPhones Into a Lighting Kit
If you’ve ever been on the set of a professional photography shoot, you’ll notice the photographer doesn’t just rely on a single camera-mounted flash. Instead, they use a series of strategically positioned flashes, all tethered together so they function as one, to precisely control where and how much light is hitting the subject. And that approach is very similar to a patent Apple originally filed back in 2011 that could dramatically improve your iPhone’s photography prowess.

Samsung NX300 Hands-On: Realistic 3D Photos And Videos From One Lens
The Samsung NX300′s a big revamp of last year’s NX210, including a lot of common sense improvements to Samsung’s mid-range mirrorless camera. And then there’s the 3D photo and movie mode. Nobody asked for a brilliant new technology that uses a single lens to capture 3D images, but Samsung made it anyway. And it actually works!
This Simple Device Makes Glorious Timelapses Easy, Even At Night
If the term intervalometer leaves you scratching your head, but you have the perfect idea for the next viral timelapse video, Brinno’s here to help. The company’s new TLC200 Pro makes creating timelapses as easy as using a point-and-shoot camera. And thanks to a relatively large, extra-sensitive 1/3-inch sensor, it will capture beautiful results even when left filming over night.
How To Stop Time With A Ceiling Fan, Two Torches And A Camera
Remember the now ubiquitous bullet time effect in the Matrix? That technique requires dozens of cameras and other expensive gear, but JPL engineer, inventor and Gizmodo friend Mark Rober, figured out how to do it for just a few dollars.
