Iphone D-SLR
Jeremy Salvador has designed the iPhone DSLR Prototype 1.0 that will actually work with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. Weighing at about 1.1 lbs, the chassis is a solid piece of anodized billet aluminum with dual handle-grips and 4 x 1/4?-20 female threaded mounting holes, so you can actually screw this thing into a standard tripod. Too bad, the lens mount currently fits only Canon EF lenses. Watch the video after the jump.
Camera: iPhone 4 with OWLE Bubo and EnCinema 35mm Adapter
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lens

Paparazzi 2
The Hundreds has provided a detailed view of the new camera bag from their Spring season. It looks like a useful accessory for any photographer. Check out more details below.
The difference is between the Paparazzi backpack and Paparazzi 2. Aside from the price differential, the original Paparazzi is a better fit for the casual blogging photographer, the bag comfortably fits an SLR camera and a couple lenses or so, as well as acting like a typical laptop backpack.
The Paparazzi 2 is a little steeper in price, I admit, but worth it especially if you’re a more serious shutterbug. The backpack as a whole is larger, more spacious and luxurious (word to Home Alone 2). One of the best features for the active photographer is that the camera compartment has a side-entry so that you don’t have to take off the backpack to access your rig.
This is what mine looks like below, you can arrange the body and lenses however you want with the velcro shelving, and the top compartment of the backpack has all kinds of room. And of course, as with all our backpacks, there’s a laptop compartment in the back.
We are one of the only brands in our category who regularly offers multi-purpose backpacks accommodating photographers of all skill levels. It’s important because clearly, photography is an integral component of The Hundreds aesthetic and lifestyle.

Never would of initially thought these were taken through a puddle. And I believe this was shot on an iphone too.

C.O.D. Virtual War Photos
Photographer: Thibault Brunet
Title: First Person Shooter
This is clearly a whole new type of photography and that’s in itself is always going to be sick to me. Next we might see some 2k11 screenshot photography.

Set-Perfect-WhiteBalance-With-Starbucks-CoffeeCup
Nobody I know is trying to buy a high priced Expo-disc so I have heard of the coffee filter and Styrofoam but this by far has to be one of the illest ones I’ve heard of . One mans trash can easily be another mans…white balance.

TED Prize Winner JR & INSIDE OUT
TED Prize Winner JR & INSIDE OUT from TED Prize on Vimeo.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
