By way of the ReadyMade Blog, check out how to use common kitchen ingredients like coffee as photographic developers. I’ve had an interest (mostly academic and appreciative) in alternate photographic processes for some time, and while this relies on standard emulsions, the use of ordinary kitchen stuff for developers and fixes is really quite intriguing.

Check out these cool landscape photos by Olivo Barbieri. He takes photos of landscapes, and then modifies them to make them look as if they were pictures of tiny models. They give a very curious case of perspective.
Addendum: Juan read more carefully than I, and explains that these are shot with a tilt-shift lens. I’m even more impressed.
Addendum2: You can get some more examples of this tilt-shift wizardry on this Japanese website.

Got this from digg, this entire short film was created by using the burst mode of the Canon 20D. The shots look really nice, with lots of great depth of field and exposure. Previously, I blogged about how The Corpse Bride was filmed using digital still photography, but this is the first time I think I’ve seen this particular trick, and it works really well. Worth checking out.
Incidently, a quick check at dpreview.com reveals that the Canon 20D burst mode is 5 fps until the buffer fills, then it slows to about 1.4 fps. I suspect that at smaller resolutions, much longer times at the full fps are maintained. Neat.
