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

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.

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.
