COOLPIX + Speedlight = Creative Lighting A COOLPIX camera is nothing short of a marvel. Offering megapixel power, auto and manual control choices, a host of scene modes and the optical excellence of a NIKKOR lens, it's a self-contained package of versatility and sophistication.
Which is not to say there isn't the opportunity to extend its creative reach—and yours. Select COOLPIX models, such as the P7100, incorporate a hot shoe that allows you to use a Nikon Speedlight—on the camera or wirelessly—to add to your picture-taking potential. That's what renowned travel photographer Bob Krist did on a recent trip, when in addition to his COOLPIX P7100, he packed an SB-700 Speedlight, SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander, and a few well chosen, eminently portable lighting accessories. "There are times," Bob says, "that you want to go beyond the built-in, wide-ranging functionality and capability of the camera. " Here's how—and why—Bob expanded the range and capability of his COOLPIX P7100. Wine cork bath mat. Inspired by CB2's bamboo bath mat I’m evidently on a hot-glue kick lately. This bath mat requires just three materials: shelf liner, hot glue, and 175 wine corks.

It was inspired by CB2’s bamboo bath mat, which is perfectly lovely and affordable but too big for my tiny bathroom, hence this equally eco-friendly version. Yeah, but how durable is it, you say?

TetraBox Light by Ed Chew & Yanko Design. Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape.
Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew. DIY Bracelets - Honestly WTF.
