I’ve been messing around with this awesome new iPhone app called CameraBag from NeverCenter where you can simulate a bunch of killer vintage camera effects with new or existing photos in your iPhone. Check out the ‘Helga’ effect on this photo of Audrey:
I’ve been reading a lot about the upcoming release of the new camera set-ups from RED on Stu Maschwitz’ always excellent ProLost blog. I must say, this thing is one heck of a drool-inducing machine. What I’ve been waiting for is a camera that shoots still frames in the same way a Bolex 16mm camera might - at 24 frames a second, continuously. The Nikon D90 is pretty awesome as one of the first DSLRs to shoot in HD, but what I really want is a digital film-like solution. It looks like this is the might be one.
Yesterday, my brother Dave passed me a link to this video:
Wow. Lightening at 1200fps. But what could possibly shoot that? It must be expensive. Uh, no. It’s the sub-$1000 Casio. Now I’m not one to start hawking product on my blog, but let me just tell you how badly I want this thing… *THIS* badly (where *THIS* is as big as a house).
Not only does this thing take stunning photos, but it’s got the holy grail of inexpensive video cameras: an external mic jack. Yes! Christmas is only a few months away…. (you reading this, Audrey?).
