H.Y. Leung recreated the special white edition of the Leica M8 rangefinder using LEGO pieces. The attention to detail is amazing, and you can even look through the viewfinder! You can find a couple more photos here. Lego Leica M8 (via Highsnobiety) Image credit: Photographs by Mr.Attacki[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/75/43/487543.jpeg[/IMG]
All the way back at the beginning of 2011, Nikon Rumors confirmed that the image sensors in Nikon’s D3, D3s, D700 and D3100 were all designed by the Japanese company itself. And now, a recent teardown of the D3200 by Chipworks shows that Nikon was behind the sensor found inside that camera as well. There [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/75/33/487533.jpeg[/IMG]
The video above was put together by the European art duo known as Sweatshoppe, and believe it or not, there was no post-production used in creating it what-so-ever. They call the technique — which they pioneered — video painting, and they make it happen by using custom-built electronic paint rollers and custom-designed software. As you [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/75/24/487524.gif[/IMG]
There’s an overabundance of ways to share and organize your photos these days. From Flickr and 500px, to Facebook and Shutterfly, you can store and share your photos in many places. But according to Yahoo!, many people still use good ol’ fashioned e-mail. Yahoo!’s senior director of product management Dave McDowell said that over 500-million [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/75/04/487504.jpeg[/IMG]
Ever since their financial scandal, Olympus has been looking to bring on a big name investor to help get them out of trouble. Earlier this month that investor seemed to be Panasonic, but when that fell through everybody looked to the remaining three possible investors — Sony, Fujifilm and Terumo — to see if anybody [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/74/91/487491.jpeg[/IMG]
The photographs in Isabel M. MartÃnez’s Quantum Blink project look like they were stitched together using Photoshop, but they were actually all created in-camera. She writes, The photographs in Quantum Blink are composed of two exposures taken instants apart. The striped pattern is the result of masks placed in-camera, this feature allows me to blend [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/74/70/487470.jpeg[/IMG]
Late last month several rumors pointed to the fact that Canon would be announcing two new cameras in June. The first, Canon’s new EOS T4i, was already announced, but as June approaches its final days many were wondering if Canon had pushed back the announcement date for their much-anticipated first mirrorless camera. Unfortunately, according to [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/74/60/487460.jpeg[/IMG]

You know society has gone a little filter-crazy when a concept for Instagram glasses shows up on the scene, but we have to admit that Instaglasses make for an interesting idea. The basic premise is that Instagram fanatics aficionados would be able to use these to always see the world in filters. When they then [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/72/63/487263.jpeg[/IMG]
When photographer Michael Wolf had to move to Paris in 2008 because of a job opportunity for his wife, he wasn’t too thrilled with the situation. He thought that living in one of the most photographed cities of all time, surrounded by the inevitable cliches of such a place, wasn’t conducive to creative, unique photography.

On a trip to the famous Louvre in Paris, photographer and artist Taylor Holland found himself more drawn in by the highly ornate frames around the art than with the art itself. This got him thinking about a project that would challenge “the viewer?s notion not only of what art is, but the viewer?s own [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/72/31/487231.jpeg[/IMG]
Today is the first day of summer, so it’s only right that we would run across a product that is equal parts camera bag and cooler. The Camera Cooler, by camping equipment company Poler, combines the usefulness of a cooler and with the looks/functionality of a camera bag into one multi-purpose product. Like all camera [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/72/13/487213.jpeg[/IMG]
I often think that a wise camera company could do very well by bundling a copy of Photoshop Elements with every camera they sell. After all, the software’s retail price is barely more than $100! That way, even the humblest digital photographer could extract the max from their images and realise the true potential ? [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Ever since the move to digital, and especially with the advent of the camera phone, we’ve seen a huge spike in photography — everybody is taking pictures. But even so our four legged friends haven’t really gotten in on the action. That may soon change, however, if a concept camera by designer Jaehwa Lee ever [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/71/53/487153.jpeg[/IMG]
It looks like Nokia wasted no time putting the folks at Scalado to work for them. As we reported a week ago, Nokia is acquiring Scalado’s developers, technologies and IP portfolio, and we’re already seeing Scalado’s well-known “rewind” technology make its way into Nokia’s new Camera Extras app. Besides allowing you to rewind faces for [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/71/39/487139.gif[/IMG]
A camera’s dimensions are often reported alongside its other specs (e.g. megapixels, ISO), but it’s pretty difficult to gauge exactly how large it is by those numbers alone. RealSize is a helpful iPad app that helps you get a better sense of size by displaying gadgets on its screen at exactly the size they are [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/48/71/29/487129.jpeg[/IMG]
On Tuesday my post on backing up your digital data elicited hundreds of responses on the internet. Many of you had a good quip on a time-tested methodology on how to back up your most treasured memories: print them. What a concept – the photo as an object.

For all you DIY-ers out there looking for a fast, fun photography project, here’s a quick way to create a make-shift fisheye lens for your camera using only a 200-degree peephole, some drawer liner, a PVC reducer and some tape.
