This 1940’s operating theater light is taken straight out of a German hospital and re-fitted to fit regular incandescent bulbs for use in the home or office setting. It’s a unique lighting fixture that will run you about $4200 USD from Trainspotting. It’s unfortunate that this is so expensive.

I was just introduced to Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop, a clever little attachment for digital SLRs that bounces the light from the on-camera flash upward so that photos you take with the flash don’t look all blown out. [via]
Most on-camera flashes these days are pretty decent and are actually quite powerful if tweaked correctly, and I imagine that this $35 add-on does wonders at a fraction of the price of an actual hot-shoe flash attachment.
Most of the images in the Flickr Lightscoop photo pool are pretty much on par with the quality of images I would expect from a much more expensive flash attachment.

Photographer Stephen Alvarez took this amazing photo of a man going into the Majlis al Jinn, the 9th largest cave chamber in the world. Looks like a nice place to explore.

For $2400, you can purchase a re-appropriated street light to serve as your interior lamp for any room you choose. The so-called “super guppy” floor lamp is giant and looks absolutely amazing. I would want one.
And I’m not sure if it’s connected, but the lamp is also on sale for the same price at an identical store called Factory20.

Clever concept product from Guy And Brown. But honestly, I hope I’m never stuck in a situation where I need to bring my own lamp to a room whose outlets are so far away that I require the extension cord. I like as little clutter as possible.
