Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, the Library of Congress Packard Campus was originally built as a nuclear bunker.

The new touchscreen LCD has received a lot of praise, as has the fact that you can finally use it underwater without an external housing.

Panoramio has been one of my go-to location scouting tools for quite a while now. It’s an invaluable resource which combines Google Maps with user contributed imagery. Each of these images are GPS tagged, showing the exact spot at which they were made. Its design makes it fantastic for finding hidden gem locations nearby, or for […]

I think for most people, no matter how many comparisons or examples come out, the whole “actual camera vs smartphone camera” debate will never end.
