The New York Times has come out with a photo blog earlier this week called “Lens“. This might be an interesting format to read online newspapers. Just hit the next button to see the next article. Simple as turning a page in a real newspaper. Of course, this is mainly for viewing photos at this point which works great. Especially the full screen option.

If only I had a Canon 5D Mark II, I could really get into making these type of videos. I love the cloud formations and balloons in this first video. The 2nd video just plain rocks and I can appreciate how long this must have taken to produce from start to finish.
A very cool use of a tilt-shift lens to make everything look all model-like.
And still one of my all time personal favorites.
