TINYenormous – Build it up to break it down again

I’ve been getting more and more into my camera lately. The other day I was browsing Craigslist and I saw an interesting ad… Skip a few steps and I ended up with a bunch of new lenses, an old film body, and a lot of other doodads. Just because I had fun shooting it, you …

I just ran across oye modern’s site. They have a cool line of bracelets / cuffs that are made out of the exterior aluminum of camera lenses. It’s an interesting idea, but I hardly think it is worth au$300. If I run into a lens that is trash anytime soon – It’s on. This kind …
Here’s my newest project. It’s not yet ready to drop, but I’ll give you a lil taste to see if you can figure it out.

The owner’s name is Alex and he’s nothing like what you would expect (considering he owns a nuclear missile silo.) His website is siloboy.com and is …
I juts got a macro tube in the mail. It’s basically a dumb (ie you need to be on full manual mode-no metering or AF) piece of aluminum that moves the lens further away from the camera body. Doing so it decreases the minimum focal point. Basically it means you can get really tight up …

I acquired a battery/intervalometer for my Nikon D40 a while back and didn’t even notice the intervalometer settings until recently. I’ve shot quite a few …

This is a super easy hack, but I decided to post it because I think that it could benefit a lot of makers out there. Anything that makes documenting your work easier is a good thing in my book So this could be so much more(-or less) depending on how you use it, but I …
