DIY Photography.net is seeking help to create a DIY Ring Light out of disposable camera flashes. If you have any ideas discuss them.
Art House Shop is asking you to help them out (yes, you in that corner over there--no *you*). What do they want you ask? They want you to join the A Million Little Pictures project. All you have to do is send them $16 and shoot the film in the disposible camera they give to you. The theme is "adventures," the best photo overall wins a $200 gift card, and all the photos are featured in an exhibit in a city yet to be determined. The city will be determined by finding the city with the most participants.
Update: When signing up, I got an error, though it actually signed me up...odd. Hopefully they'll fix it and you'll have no problems.
Sam Noyoun has written two instructables dealing with camera modifications.
The first would have been useful for me last week—a cheap underwater camera housing. The system using "special" Navy SEALS technology (two condoms), provides the seal and a dessicant bag helps keep the moisture out.
The second recently won second prize in a recent instructables.com science contest. (For his efforts he won $10 and a get out of jail free card— Sorry, for some reason I found it necessary to make a Monopoly joke.) This cheap infrared filter can be made in 10 minutes and uses pretty common items.
Thanks Sam for the great tutorials!
Edit: broken link fixed.
