Random Photo Marketing Generator promises “old-world craftsmanship” for forum warriors and cat photos

John Aldred

When a new piece of gear is released, it’s accompanied by a press release. This press release is often filled full of jargon and tech speak. Details that 99% of customers either don’t understand or even really care about. But big numbers and words that are difficult to pronounce look impressive. So, manufacturers include them. […]

This is how DSLR users look in 2017 according to some guy on Craigslist

John Aldred

You know, it’s funny. The only people who seem to care what DSLR users look like are the people who no longer use DSLRs. Most users aren’t so publicly vocal about it as a particular user on Craigslist. This was spotted by our buddy Mitch over at Planet5D on Facebook. When looking a little deeper into […]

Don’t wait for the Razer’s Project Valerie – build your own DIY 3 screen laptop

John Aldred

This might be one of the most nutty DIY projects I’ve seen. But that could be because it’s based on one of the craziest concepts I’ve seen. At CES, Razer unviled Project Valerie, a laptop that contained 3 monitors. Unfortunately, Razer say that at the moment, it’s basically a concept, and there’s just a couple […]

Bride-to-be shows up in T-Rex costume for “First look” photo shoot

John Aldred

Everything about a wedding is important. Including how they’re documented. Whether it be through photographs or video. Coverage often begins long before the wedding itself. Telling a couple’s story leading up to the big day. Ideally, you want this story to show some of your subjects personalities and humour. That personality and humour is exactly […]

John Aldred

Being able to talk to cameras and other devices to give voice commands is a relatively recent development. What’s not so new is having our devices talk back to us. Check out this recent video of a Minolta AF-Sv “Talker”, posted to Reddit by user 240DL. Released in 1984, It features all of the minimalist features of […]

This is the life of Dale, the Jerry Jones cameraman for the Dallas Cowboys

John Aldred

Every time the Dallas Cowboys score a touchdown, intercept, win, lose, tie, you need to get a shot of Jerry Jones. And it’s cameraman Dale’s job to cover that angle. “Filming Jerry Jones for three hours is… rough”, says Dale, “I know him so well”. As you would, if you’ve got your camera pointed at him for […]

2016 seems to be a record year for Christmas drone crashes

John Aldred

I suppose it shouldn’t come as much surprise that drones have become the hot gift this year. There’s more drones on the market now than ever before. They range in price from $10 to thousands, and anybody can get hold of one. But, what surprises me is the number of them that seem to crash within […]

Couples play light painting charades with large format instant film

John Aldred

Charades is a pretty common game to play with the family at Christmas. You know the one. Where one person tries to mime out a word or a phrase, while everybody else attempts to hilariously guess what it is. Well, this year, the folks at Analog Process decided to give the name a new twist, […]

Filmmaker inserts himself into stock photos for this hilarious music video

John Aldred

I’ve been a big fan of Joe Penna (aka MysteryGuitarMan) on YouTube ever since I saw his stop motion rendition of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro about 7 years ago. With over 2.8 million subscribers, he doesn’t post as often these days as he once did, but when he does, you know it’s going to be […]
