Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1


This is a compact wide angle (16:9) digital camera. Not as wide as say a swing lens Horizon 202 but it will give you images with a nice aspect ratio.

Realtime LCD for DSLR


This is a handy device, I;m wondering why I haven’t seen this in other blogs…
You attach a little doover to the viewfinder to your camera that lets you see your viewfinders display on a moveable LCD. This would be real handy for those times where you want to shoot over your head or real low.

Tortuga 5



The Tortuga (turtle in Spanish) is a five hole pinhole camera that will make either a 240 degree panoramic at once or sequentialy. the example above is what you get if you trigger each shutter while you have it pointed at different objects. Photo merging can have some pretty dramatic results. Someday I will build one of these, or buy one if I can afford it.
