A quick-and-relatively-easy diffuser for a pop-up flash. I was getting tired of using an old translucent film canister, so I came up with this. I've seen someone selling a diffuser which fixes on the hotshoe but I believe it's constructed in a different way.

If you decide to hang out indoors this week, take a look at this Florida State University gallery of phytochemical micrographs- micrographs are photographs taken through microscopes; phytochemicals are chemicals produced by plants.

So you got CHDK working on your camera, and the histograms, raw image files, variable shutter speeds and other added functions are amazing, but stereo imaging is what you really want.

As a semi-pro photographer who has flown on over 50 flights and has visited more than 15 countries and over 20states, I know that photography is difficult enough without having to manage equipment, and looking like a tourist will make you miss out on the local culture, making you miss out on even more great pictures.

Using you digital camera, I will teach you how to take amazing pictures of lightning. All you need is a camera that you can change to exposure time. I have and love a Cannon PowerShot SD900.

Sebastian Szyszka has a great write-up on how to photograph fireworks. He covers the delicate balance of ISO and aperture settings along with everything else you need to know.

Deke McClelland is a full-blown, hardcore geek. The kind of geek we love. How can you not love a guy who creates a frantic, hand-waving, occasionally obscenity-strewn, rap music video… about Photoshop keyboard shortcuts?
And it’s not just for pros.

Flip video cameras are a good choice for quick and simple video recording but don't offer much in the expandability/department. This article runs through relatively easy methods for macro & micro lens add-ons, achieving some nice results (see macro vid above)

Flip cameras are fun and easy to use, but not particularly versatile. If you've had poor results at macrophotography with a Flip, you might be interested in these DIY lenses.
