    Man's best friend a pho-dog-rapher?

    Supposedly Nikon made a camera mount that is triggered by a dog's elevated heart rate. It uses bluetooth to transmit the heart rate to the mount then the photo is taken. Nikon's Dog Camera Mount Takes a Photo When Your Pup's Heart Rate Goes Up | Popular Photography

    Relight a candle through its smoke trail

    Here's an unusual subject which would be fascinating to capture--first light a candle then blow out the flame. Then light the candle's smoke which will relight the candle. The Huffington Post states, The "trick" has a little bit of science behind it. When a wick is lit, the flame vaporizes the...

    What's up with this?

    Tripod Head vs. Camera/Lens Weight

    I am looking to buy a new tripod head (just bought a new Gitzo aluminum tripod last week). Manfrotto makes a couple I'm interested in, and one is perfect for my needs--except it has a maximum load of 8.8 pounds.

    Flash Brackets

    I still use a Stroboframe bracket from my 35mm days when using off-camera flash. It positions the flash above the camera which creates shadows under the chin--certainly not desirable so I'm considering getting a new flash bracket. There are times when I can't bounce the flash because either the...

    Lawsuit over photo contests

    Has anyone heard about a lawsuit where a photographer is being sued for running online photo contests? It sounds like a company patented photo contests, and that company is now going after other people who run them. @jdeg this is happening around our area. :( Why one photographer decided to...

    Printing on 13" x 19" paper

    1. Has anyone printed photos on 13" x 19" paper, and if so, what size do you print if you intend to mat them? Would I size the photo as 12" x 18" and use an 18" x 24" mat? Is that a standard mat size or one that would necessitate being cut separately? :confused: 2. And if you don't print 13" x...
