A Beginner’s Guide to C-41 Developing at Home (It’s A Lot Easier Than You Think!)
Hello again, analogue lovers! I hope you haven’t been waiting too long for the second part of this tutorial. I hope that, now that you’re well-informed on the basic equipment you’ll need for C-41 home development, you’re ready for the actual development process itself, which we will be covering in its entirety in this article.
Samsung NX300 smart camera
Well built, billet aluminum on top and bottom. Camera feels solid and well built. Body is slim, but kit lens add dimensions.
Smart means WiFi connected. So, it allows to upload hi quality photos to Facebook, Google+/Picasa, Skydrive etc. But most fun is to use Samsung Smart Camera App in iPhone or Android. It allows to place camera strategically, follow action via remote viewfinder on mobile phone screen and take shots remotely. Use Your imagination…
Great AMOLED touch sensitive screen. makes using smart functions easy, like selecting WiFi hot-spot, typing in network passwords or account names.
Great focus speed and accuracy in normal conditions due to innovative hybrid focusing method. NX300 has both phase detection and contrast detection areas on the sensor. Still, struggled in low light condition in longest focal length position.
20 Mpix is a tad too much for APS-C, I would prefer 16 Mpix and larger pixels for better low light performance and ISO capability. Shooting with slow kit lens in weak light is pain. Small aperture forces to use high ISO and long shutter, causing either bad noise or motion blur. Even pretty well lit situations may require ISO 1600. That’s not good, as noise is already kicking in.
Great cam for gadget lovers. Photographers stay most probably with their Canon/Nikon etc hard core photo gear. But when iPhone or Galaxy is not enough, it’s time to move over to Smart Camera now.
We spotted this stupendously detailed cardboard replica of a Nikon SLR over at the Etsy blog.
It’s made by the very talented cardboard artist Marta Crass of C is for Cardboard.
@ZachDriftwood’s #Petheadz
Some say pets look like their owners, but one Canadian photographer has taken it to a new and creative extreme. In his series, #petheadz, Zachary Rose (@zachdriftwood) takes DSLR portraits of people’s pets and mashes them up with portraits of their owners by cleverly holding the camera in the foreground.
The series started as an exercise in creativity with his two roommates but quickly caught on. To date, Zach has taken 18 #petheadz portraits of people all over Toronto. (His mom even posed for a photo with her German shepherd.) The project is still on-going with a lengthy wait-list, and Zach is excited to continue meeting people—and pets—around the city as he keeps shooting.
The mind-boggling images above were captured by David Oliete at the 2012 Human Tower Competition held in Tarragona, Spain.
Out of context, they’re kind of mysterious and moving, right?

These are so good!
An anonymous photographer avoids boredom on his morning commute by holding newspaper photos up to other passengers’ bodies.
Creativity = the best solution for boredom.
