When it isn’t being fired at or around you, ammunition can be kind of beautiful. We’ve already seen the striking beauty of exploding bullets trapped in plexiglass

If you use a Sony or Fujifilm camera or Nokia phone or anything like that, you may notice a slight difference in future editions of your favorite camera and phones. The iconic Carl Zeiss imprint on the camera lens will now be just ZEISS. I guess they were growing tired of non photogs asking who the heck is Carl Zeiss?

There’s one in every family or group of friends: A photographer who—willing or not—spends most of their time behind the lens, and ends up conspicuously absent from nearly every photo. It’s inevitable. Well, not anymore. The Duo, a working concept camera, splits in half to capture both photographer and photographee at the exact same instant.

Many criticized a pre-Marissa Mayer Yahoo for doing little to integrate acquisitions with its core services, even when they were popular services like Del.icio.us. We can’t accuse the company of negligence today, as it just added simple Flickr photo sharing to Yahoo Mail. Those drafting messages just have to tap an arrow to attach files from their photo streams, and they can sign up for Flickr on the spot. While there’s only so many of us who could use Flickr sharing right now, Yahoo teases that there are more Mail upgrades in the pipeline — it’s not done fighting Gmail and Outlook just yet.

Just because a piece of glass might claim to be "bulletproof" doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually, well, bulletproof. But if your bullet-resistant glass is sturdy enough, that speeding bullet will usually just end up lodged in layers of polycarbonate. That’s what intrigues photographer Deborah Bay.

I love photography, it’s a fabulous hobby. I can usually be found behind the lens, snapping shots of the goings on at almost every event or party. I’ve always wanted to dabble in time lapse photography and capture a snow storm or the changing of the leaves in the fall, but it always seemed to be just a little to0 difficult. I also wanted to do some claymation type stop-action films with my daughter, but for maximum fun, the easier the better.
So I’m checking out the Brinno TLC200 designed to make time lapse and stop-action photography fun and simple, the Brinno still packs some flexibility to change lenses and set appropriate time intervals to catch all the time lapse action that you want, and it has an optional shutter release to turn you into a professional stop-action film maker. It’s battery life is solid, with months of life, allowing you to capture up to 300,000 pics, or an entire season of changes, an important remodeling project, or maybe even the growth of your prize-winning pumpkin.
The Brinno has a color LCD preview screen allowing you to easily set your scenes, it can be mounted on a tripod, or just set on a flat surface, it also has a wide angle lens available if you wanted one for your specific application. The Brinno TLC200 uses 4xAA batteries and it stores all your shots on an SD card (supports up to 32GB). So no messing with your existing camera, no complicated set-ups, or specialized time controllers. Simply set your time, and press go. Get the Brinno, and let the fun begin. Right around 135 bucks at amazon.com.

Sony has announced one of its latest additions to the RX-series of CyberShot cameras: the RX1R. This compact point-and-shoot features, among other things, a full-frame 35mm 24.3-megapixel sensor, the same that was offered in the previously-released RX1 camera. Rather than replacing the RX1, this latest iteration complements the series with additional features and image quality

You can create some incredible footage using time-lapse photography but it’s not one a director has much control over. That’s why California hip-hop duo, G&E, melded it with stop motion photography to make this wild music video.

A lensless, focussing-free camera that can take photos from multiple angles simultaneously, building up either different perspectives of a scene or combining data to produce faster, higher-detail images, could revolutionize the digital camera industry, its developers have teased. The prototype, developed by a team led by Hong Jiang at Bell Labs, eschews traditional glass or
