Like the Black Box Camera we featured a couple of months ago, this one creates an image using AI. Unlike the Black Box Camera, which takes a picture of the scene, uses AI to determine what’s in […]

This is because of the simple fact that shooting bullet time requires a whole mess of cameras in order to pull it off. But this creation from Sebastian Staacks takes bullet time to the next level. Designed as an alternative to the standard photo […]

However, the one problem with using them off-camera is that the cables supplied with them are extremely short. After all, they’re only designed to […]

It had a wet side and a dry side, built-in exhaust, and plenty of space. That came to an end when I sold that house and moved into an old Victorian-style home where bathrooms […]

Based around a Raspberry Pi, it takes photographs – lots of photographs – of trains passing through a station and then stitches them together to create a single long composite of the entire locomotive. It works on a similar principle to slit-scan photography, which is often used for capturing […]

This is one such video. The creation of Australian film photographer Jason De Freitas – whom we’ve featured here on DIYP before – […]

So most wet plate artists want to get their hand on a fast lens. Wolfgang, a former participant of my wet plate workshop got his hand on a very fast lens and sent it over to me. For the first time, […]

He did this using a scraped 3D printer, which, to be honest, I am surprised never happened before in the modders community. (if the name sounds familiar, it’s because this is a second […]

I suppose it’s fitting that the creator of […]
