Previous owner had Kart up to 181 mph before a tire blew out. Using GoPro Hero High Def camera with adhesive mount. NOTE: The rear tires are worn out so the driver didn't do anything to crazy.

Creating 3D Holographic Videos with Microsoft Kinect

"YouTube user okreylos has managed to get inside a Kinect and extract the bits that allow him to create 3D video captures of what the device sees."


The camera obviously cannot see all the way around the various physical objects in the room, but when okreylos starts spinning the image on its axis, things get pretty cool! Fun starts about 40 seconds in... [YouTube, Oliver Kreylos], Via: Gizmodo

45 Photos From Clever, Sometimes Unbelievable Perspectives

"The Mouse Won't Play"
Point of view of a mouse being dangerously stalked. Carved a hole in a cardboard box and put camera inside. The main difficulty was not the lighting (a couple of desk lamps set around the box), but getting Manly here to cooperate by luring him with a string going into the box (seen out of focus). Nikon D40 w/ 35mm f/1.8 Nikor lens. ISO 200, f/2 and 1/15" exposure. More photos at the link. LINK: Gizmodo

nIcredible Crepuscular Rays - Sunbeams Caught On Camera

image credit

Sunbeams are everywhere - yet when they are caught on camera they are often unwanted additions to a photograph. They cut swathes through the picture, chopping off heads and obscuring detail in a burst of light.

However, when they are deliberately captured the results can be nothing short of magical.

High Definition War Footage Taken with Canon 5D Mark II

the cinematic qualities of this high definition footage from Frontline's documentary Obama's War. The color, the depth, the texture, it all screams film to me. Except it's just a Canon 5D Mark II rigged by Danfung Dennis.



Danfung got his Canon 5D Mark II in a steady-cam type rig, complete with a shotgun microphone. The results look straight from a good war movie. [Frontline Via: Lightstalkers], Via: Gizmodo

You otter be in pictures: Just when you thought you had seen everything ...

SANTA CRUZ -- Wildlife photographer Enrique Aguirre makes a point of visiting the Monterey Bay once a month to capture images of herons, seals and sea otters.

But on Feb. 3, the San Francisco-based freelancer found himself on the other end of the lens -- with an otter at the viewfinder.

Aguirre was on Capt. Yohn Gideon's Elkhorn Slough Safari boat with several other professional photographers when the group spotted an otter in the distance. Gideon steered closer as Aguirre framed the shot. Then, Aguirre noticed something odd.

"I was like, did I actually see an otter with a video camera or was I hallucinating?" he said.

The screen on Aguirre's digital camera soon confirmed what he'd seen: an otter floating on its back, video camera grasped in its paws, lens aimed at the boat of excited photographers. The humans had a bad angle, but Aguirre managed to snap a single clear shot before the otter dived, video camera in tow. LINK

Make a Room Sized Camera Obscura

This web page by Giorgio Carboni explains how to easily and inexpensively project the view outside your window onto your wall by turning your room into a camera obscura. All you need is some duct tape, posterboard, and a lens.

…it’s best if the window faces a view with some activity, it can be entertaining to see cars moving and people jogging upside down across your wall.
