You might have seen it already but just in case: this is the latest Joe McNally video which captures his attempts at photographing the changing of the guard lightbulb atop of the Empire State Building. It’s very cool.

This is a very funny take on an IT Support Helpdesk.

Yesterday morning I read an excellent article on photographing rainbows over at Digital Photography School. And in the afternoon it just so happened to rain! When the sun slowly emerged after the downpour there was a rainbow, just itching to be photographed.

It couldn’t have been more timely (more so as there is a drought here in New South Wales).

With the article’s tips still fresh in my mind, I was conscious of the beginning and ending points of the rainbow.

Can you tell I have been experimenting with the new iPhoto – it’s quite a powerful tool these days.

Strangely enough, it wasn’t until I checked one of the photos in the back-screen of my camera that I noticed the rainbow was a double rainbow.

Watch this hilarious spoof video of magician David Blaine starring Mitch Silpa (as David Blaine) and Mikey Day and Michael Naughton (as the two idiots). I guarantee you will get a laugh out of this!

I discovered David Blaine Street Magic 2 on the Funny or Die website and wanted to share it with you. If you like it make sure to check out the first video. Just a warning before you start, there is swearing in this video.

I just bought a Gorillapod Tripod for my digital camera and I have to say it is one of the best camera accessories I have bought. This tripod is so much fun to use – I’ve been bending it around chairs and posts, the window sill, table legs…I can’t wait to take it out this weekend and see what weird and wonderful things I can suspend it from.

It works as a regular tripod, but it has these flexible tripod legs that can be twisted and turned to grip onto any number of things.

I read about these tripods a while ago. Today I was walking through the local shopping centre where I passed by a camera shop and saw one in the front window, just crying out to be bought.

The Joby website says

“…it is the only tripod malleable enough to provide you with the perfect shot while wrapped around a tree branch, ranging from a pole, or perched on a jagged rock. The possibilities are endless!”

Is this true, I wonder?

UPDATE 7 November: So far I have found this to be an excellent tripod – make sure you add one to your Christmas wish list!
