The Nikon DSLR Revealed (D80)

nikon-d80-3.jpgnikon-d80-1.jpg

Nikon’s been running a teaser on their homepage recently about an new camera coming in 13 days. 10.2 megapixels and a partially-obscured body that looks a lot like a D70 or a D50 has had plenty of fan sites buzzing about whether this was a replacement to Nikon’s popular D70 with D200-class resolution.

Well it looks like some images have surfaced, and it’s gonna be called the D80. A few buttons have moved, the LCD’s finally bigger, and the body looks a bit smaller. For the rest of the details, we’ll have to wait until Nikon’s ready to spill the beans.

A few more photos on Engadget.

It’s a Photo Frame That’s Also an Air Conditioner!

goods_nextsiteretail-1.jpgHow… strange.

Photojojo friend Aileen Nowlan sent in a link to this combination photo frame and air conditioner soon to be released by LG.

Insert your own 24″ square photo, and then lean back and relax as chilling air emanates from behind your photo, “mimicking the airflow in the South Korean mountains.”

Um. yeah.

DIY Telephoto Lens

Fig_01-1.jpg

Italian photographer Fabrizio came up with a cool way to give his digital cam a super telephoto lens: attach a long distance scope using a simple mounting bracket that screws into his tripod socket. In fact, he’s got a whole site dedicated to ways he’s hacked his Casio EX-Z120. Lots of interesting and adaptable stuff.

Uploaded by ’stpiduko’.

Since our pal Youngna wrote a tutorial for us on a great street portrait project she did, we’ve been seeing it pop up everywhere.

We love the London portraits that Nic and Eamon did. These ones from The Philippines and France are pretty great, too!

Ok, first things first, we do not recommend you try this at home. Or anywhere else. Photography is all about having fun, not shocking people.

That said, this tutorial showing you how to turn a disposable camera into a taser is one of the most unique DIY projects we’ve seen in a while. [via diy happy]

These cool bubble magnets have a dry erase surface and hold up those snapshots on the fridge. Change the message whenever you want with the enclosed magnetic marker. (Doesn’t seem to be available in the US, but probably pretty easy to DIY.)

times.jpg

The most important work a young photographer can do is existential. You must figure out what kind of photographer you want to be, what do you want to say and how are you going to do it better than others have done before you.

Michella McNally, photo editor at the New York Times, answers readers’ questions on camera equipment, what the Times looks for when hiring photographers, advice for people starting out in the craft, the Times’ policy on Photoshopping, photography and the law, and more. An interesting read!

How to Take Photos of the Space Shuttle Using Your Digital Camera

060706-1732-ShuttleISS-web.jpg


When the Space Shuttle and International Space Station are docked together, they form a very large satellite which looks like a bright star moving rapidly across the sky, easily mistaken for an airplane. This evening they flew over Georgia, and I got this picture, a 5-second exposure with a Canon Digital Rebel at ISO 400 and a 28-mm lens at f/4.
