The only problem? The drone...

Earlier this year, lens mount adapter manufacturer Metabones and Caldwell Photographic announced a product that sounded too good to be true. The Metabones Speed Booster would not only allow you to mount a full frame lens on a smaller sensor, but also reduce the effective crop factor, and add a full stop of light. But the months since the announcement of the original Canon...

Artist James Neares' video "Street" takes one of the world's most bustling and fast-paced cities, New York, and slows it down to a crawl. Filmed over a week in September of 2011, Neares recorded 16 hours of footage from the street of the Big Apple, which were cut down to three minutes of real time footage. But since he shot in incredibly high speed, that's 61 minutes of...

 

 

Nikon Rumors has an interesting post about how the team at the Nikon Repair Center in Taiwan fixed a Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 lens that had been dropped in the sea. To repair the salt water damage, they boiled the lens!

A blog post from Google earlier this week announcing what the company terms "spring cleaning" has the Internet manning its pitchforks.
