Coast to Coast in 4 minutes

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Ken @ 2:54 pm

I stumbled upon this video today while cruising the depths of the internet. I thought others might enjoy this as much as I did. The video is a time elapsed trip from California to New York with a pitstop to pick up a friend, all nicely wrapped up in about 4 minutes.

Watch the video (It’s 14 megs but well worth it)

Photo Foolery

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Ken @ 4:34 pm

With all the modified photos floating around on the internet, do you think you’re good enough to tell what’s fake and what’s not? I thought I was, but there are some really talented people on this planet. I didn’t do too horribly however, only missing a few. See how well you can do in discovering a fake photo and take the following quizes.

Snooze Button Photos

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Ken @ 1:39 pm

Last week I came across an interesting site where a guy (Dean Baldwin) hooked up his digicam to his snooze alarm and has taken photos of himself every morning for three years. While that is definitely something that is unique, what I really liked about this site was the site design. I wish I had the flash talent to do something of this caliber. Click the photo below to visit the web site and when it loads, click on Snooze Button. If you have a popup blocker, you’ll want to allow the only popup from this page, as it will launch the flash interface.

“Wake up. Live your life. Go to bed. Repeat.”
Wake up.  Live your life.  Go to bed.  Repeat.

Photography Game

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Ken @ 6:09 pm

I like photography as much as the next photographer, but it never crossed my mind that “Hey, what if we made a photography video game? Wouldn’t that just be a hoot?” Well someone did. I know some of you are just chomping at the bit for the magical link, so try to contain your excitement as you head on out of here to go play it.

In all fairness, just prior to pasting the link here, I noticed in my browser that it was, thankfully, a kids game. My 4 year old should like it. =)

Pinhole Photography Day

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Ken @ 9:43 pm

On Sunday, April 24th, is an annual event called Worldwide Pinhole Photography day. It’s an event to celebrate the art of Pinhole Photography. Pinhole cameras have been around for a very long time and are actually very cool cameras. For those that aren’t familiar with this, a pinhole camera is just that. A camera with a very small pinhole where you control the light for each of your exposures. They are simple to build and can be quite fun, not to mention, a great way to really enhance your exposure knowledge. There is an entire web site dedicated to this special event over at www.pinholeday.org where you can submit your pinhole photos, pictures of your own homemade pinhole cameras and a lot more.
