The LED lights that come built-in to our cell phone cameras are generally useless. But not so the lights built into the cell phone screens themselves. I am pretty much married to my iPhone now. Well, maybe not technically, but we are sleeping together. I am a huge fan of the BBC podcasts: Global News, Business Daily, FOOC, etc., and listen as I fall asleep.

Video Clip: This is video from Robert Hanashiro teaching students how to use remote cameras at Sports Shooter Academy 3, held November 2006 in Southern California. Hanashiro is a staff photographer for USA Today based in Southern California and director of the Sports Shooter Academy. The event, sponsored by Canon USA, Think Tank Photo and Samy's Camera, was a multi-day educational experience with presentations and hands-on shooting experiences.

Show Me How ~ 500 Things You Should Know - Instructions for life from the everyday to the exotic While you might initially think that this long title is a huge exaggeration… it’s totally true! I think i learned 500 things yesterday! In pictures! And it seems crazy to try and tell you how, when i can SHOW you how! Here are some of my favorites… images on the next page to give you a better peek inside Derek Fagerstorm, Lauren Smith, and the Show Me How Team’s new book!

This is a DIY project I have had in mind for a while now. When I purchased my studio flash heads, they came with a couple of small softboxes. Although I prefer to use translucent umbrellas whenever I can (small, light, easy to transport), there are times when a softbox is a better solution. While I could use the studio head softboxes in some circumstances with my small strobes, there was no way of effectively holding the flash in place without a lot of jerry rigging. To this end, I wanted to design a softbox that would be light, reasonably strong and durable, adaptable (double diffuser, grid attachment, barn doors etc.) at a later date and have a quick and easy way to mount the flash.

I always keep my eye on the strobist flickr pool. It is one of the best places to get your lighting ideas. The other day, I saw a cool Corona shot there made by Nick Wheeler. Nick was so kind to share his lighting technique with DIYP readers. So, the following article is a guest post by Nick Wheeler, If you like this tutorial as much as I did stop by Nick's flickr stream and say "Hi" (You'll also get a nice dose of fine images).

After taking some shots with the Floor Lit Table Top Studio by Nick, It's time to take it up a notch. The previous article showed how to take great liquid product shots, though the set up can work for both liquids and solids. In this part of the tutorial Nick will show a modification of the setup that allows you to add some color effects to the shot. If you like it, stop by Nick's flickr stream and say "Hi". In addition to showing your appreciation, you'll get some great studio images and setup shots. Now for todays exiting twist: By cutting a flap in the back side of the box you can get a whole new dimension to the pictures you can take.

These videos cover portrait photography and studio lighting techniques using simple equipment. You’ll also find an introduction to bird photography and a video on building a pinhole camera.

Si rien ne s'oppose à l'utilisation d'une ceinture étroite pour commencer l'étude de la voie du sabre, le iaidoka préfère généralement revêtir un obi ( 帯) large lorsqu'il s'implique dans la pratique. En effet, outre des qualités fonctionnelle et esthétique, la ceinture large est emblématique de l'élégant vêtement coutumier japonais (kimono). Le raffinement ne se limite pas au choix de tel ou tel type de ceinture mais aussi à la manière plus ou moins complexe de la nouer. Voici un échantillon de noeuds pour homme destinés à fermer un kimono traditionnel.

Keeping your Kendo gear in good order is important to all Kendoka. The Hakama need to be folded after each use, else they become wrinkled and the pleats will slowly be lost. It is essential that you maintain the pleats in your Hakama, as each pleat represents one of the virtues all kendoka strive to demonstrate. Loosing a pleat is the same as saying you no longer care about the virtue it represents!! With a little bit of practice, the entire folding process should take no more than a few minutes.

If you happen to have an old SX-70 camera lying around, you're in luck. SX-70 cameras can take Polaroid 600 film with an easy modification. Folding SX-70 cameras are superior to 600 cameras as they have optional neutral density filters, glass lenses and a starting focal length of 10.4 inches. The modification to use 600 film with SX-70 cameras is not a modification to the camera, but to the film cartridge and is simple to do.

Welcome to the website of the Scythe Network, a co-operative entity committed to promoting the use of the scythe.

(From The Scythe Must Dance by Peter Vido, published in 2001 as an addendum to The Scythe Book by David Tresemer.)

A 14-year-old girl with a scythe cutting circles around a tractor equipped with a mowing machine! Far-fetched? Today - perhaps. Tomorrow - the use of simple hand tools will make increasing sense in direct proportion to the rising costs, economic and otherwise, of operating oil-dependent machinery. Long live the power of human bodies! There is no trick photography in this video; it is a genuine documentary of the efficiency of this ecological tool, the scythe. Not all scythes are created equal, however, and many viewers may wonder how the heavy old scythe hanging in the shed could be used like the one in this video.

This page features the construction of Shirasaya. Thumbnail images are accompanied by a short narrative. I did notice that in the process of creating this project page that there are quite a few images involved and that I had neglected to detail most of the shiage stages (finish). I will remedy this with additional photos to be added later.

Having seen a lot of ring flash pictures popping up all over Flickr just recently, I decided to have a go at making one myself. I had a look through a couple of dozen designs for doing this and they all seemed to have one thing in common, they were all based on a ring. Nothing wrong with that of course, it is a ‘ring’ flash when all said and done, but after thinking about the problem for a while I decided to follow the advice of Huey Lewis, after all, it is ‘hip to be square’.
