So we’ve been working on a project for the last while. To me personally, this is a BIG project. Probably the largest thus far of my photography career, and it’s not even a photo-shoot.

Back in August of 2009, I blogged about having an idea of making a 4x5 out of LEGO bricks.

Interesting paper from Neel Joshi, Sing Bing Kang, C. Lawrence Zitnick, Richard Szeliski at Microsoft Research , describing how they mounted 3 gyroscopes and a 3-axis accelerometer on a DSLR to record the camera’s motion while a picture is being taken, and used that data to automatically deblur the resulting image at the software level. From their abstract:
Image deblurring using inertial measurement sensors @Makezine.com blog
The seemingly impossible task of recording what is beyond the line of sight is possible due to ultra‐fast imaging . A new form of photography, Femto-photography exploits the finite speed of light and analyzes 'echoes of light'.

If you're reading DIYP for a while you probably know that High Speed Photography is not about high shutter speeds.

Make: Online : Custom camera mount & telescope tracking motor
Craig Smith of South Milwaukee, WI, wrote in to share the progress he’s made on his homebrew astronomy rig: Since my moon photo was featured almost a year ago, I have a better telescope, a homemade tracking motor and some ok planetary photos. Saturn is currently on the other side of the sun, but earlier this year I took some shots.
I’m digging these giant cameras, built by photographer Chris McCaw .

Just spotted this cool project by the other Martin Taylor in the MAKE Flickr pool:I’ve come across a few different ways to attach a lens to a smartphone and I have to say that this macro lens mod from Bangalore maker Bharath P has got to be one of the more novel.

If you think shooting fast moving animals is difficult, try shooting bullets slicing water drops. That’s the kind of mind-boggling photography that Alexander Augusteijn does. There’s no tricks or clever Photoshop manipulations involved… just dedication and a whole lotta patience.
