Canon EOS 7D drenched in water
October 27, 2009 @ 12:28 am
At about 1:35 of this DigitalRev Canon EOS 7D review, you can see them literally drench the camera in water. As you may or may not know, the Canon EOS 7D is one of the better equipped weatherproof cameras that Canon has in its SLR line. But even if my camera could do this, I would never ever do it on purpose just for testing. That’s pretty ballsy.
Writing In The Air by Shinichi Maruyama
October 13, 2009 @ 10:30 pm
Reader Sergio sent in this link today to Shinichi Maruyama, a Japanese artist who writes and paints in the sky by photographing black ink with water. Maruyama’s series, some of which are shown here, is called “Kusho” and it literally could mean any number of things alluding to emptiness, the sky, space and calligraphy or handwriting.
To photograph the images in “Kusho”, Shinichi Maruyama uses advanced photographic strobe technology to capture movement at 7500th to 20,000th of a second. Check out the images below and see more from this amazing photo series at Shinichi Maruyama’s website.

The photo above taken by Jason Lee of The National Grand Theater in China is fabulous. It’s as good as Connie Zhou’s famous photograph of the same building.
Apple Care works miracles
September 9, 2009 @ 2:27 am
I’ve been having a pretty amazing streak of luck lately with just about everything. Tonight is another fine example of my good fortune as I somehow managed to get an entirely new keyboard from Apple free of charge despite having water-damaged my previous one. A $150+ repair was more or less gifted to me and for that I am incredibly grateful.
Deal of the Day!
