One dollar? I think I can afford that!
Catching up on my reading today, I found a couple of useful links from Brandon on the JavaJive blog. (I first began following Brandon’s photoblog because he posts wonderful photos like this one…but I digress…)
Every photographer I know has had moments when they kicked themselves for leaving the tripod at home. This short video on metacafe offers an ingenious do-it-yourself design for an image stabilizer using nothing more than a screw, a string, and a washer. MacGyver couldn’t do better! At least it looks ingenious. For less than $1, I’ll definitely try it. What an amazingly simple idea!
And since you’ll be taking photos with your new image stabilizer later into the evening, you’ll need to get the most from your coffee. (I know. It was a weak, cheesy segue!)
For all you coffee connoisseurs, a guide for getting optimum effects from caffeine. Backed by scientific studies, no less.
