See the Tech

I love gadgets and technology, and I will highlight some of my finds here on my BLOG de temps en temps. Here's my latest Gotta-Haves....!


SNAPS ON A BOTTLE

OK, Too Cool.
This $8 gizmo snaps on a bottle (hence the name)---any water filled bottle, and acts as a tripod for your pocket-size cameras. Just screw the camera onto the top. Great for travel. Now you can even appear in your own shots! From Compact Impact.



Lomography is a photography method from the '50's and '60's developed by an Austrian company using their LOMO cameras. LOMO cameras are just way cool photography and here are some new-retro models:



FISHEYE

Takes photos creating that "fisheye" look, capturing 170 degree view into a circular frame. Fisheye utilizes 35mm film. $50.




DIANA

The modern remake of the 1960's all-plastic $1 Diana camera which is now a cult legend --- famous for its its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images. Updated with modern features. $50.

RINGFLASH

Slide onto the lens of any SLR camera and this will evenly light your subject in various colors for cool photo effects. $65.

LOMOGRAPHY
If you are intrigued by the whole LOMO phenomenon, take a look at the Lomographic Society International which makes & sells these and other photographic equipment. Their site is spectacular with galleries of images and contests too.

If you don't want to buy the cameras, you can still grab this LOMO effect Photoshop Action and make pretend you shoot LOMO!
