Let’s hear your thoughts.
Vice: “Paparazzi make a living by chasing down celebrities and shoving cameras in their faces and up their skirts. We decided to hunt a few down and give them a taste of their own disgusting medicine.” [more]

As they received their first shipment of fixed 5D Mark IIIs the crew over at LensRentals.com couldn’t help but take a quick peak to see how Canon solved the light leak issue. They were not at all surprised by their findings but you may be. Apparently all it took was a little bit of tape. [more]

Blommers and Niels Schumm are a pair of Amsterdam-based photographers that have the ability to take photos with shifting perspectives. What may seem like boring stills at first takes on a whole new meaning during a second glance. Or if you are like me, a part of the soil minded, you see the eroticism first and only later see the hallway for what it is. These shots where taken for Baron Magazine where it was Blommers & Schumm intent to take everyday objects and make them appear subtly erotic. [more]

Towards the end of World War II, concerns that Hitler would flee Germany with a new identity, spurred U.S. intelligence officials to have New York makeup artist Eddie Senz to produce various portraits of Hitler as he might have altered his appearance. Der Spiegel, a German news site, published the images in the 1990′s, but the U.S. National Archives in Washington DC have only recently released the photos with improved resolution. So, clever Fstopper readers, by looking at these shots… how do you think Eddie Senz produced these pre-Photoshop photo manipulations? [more]
Matt Richardson created a unique, prototype camera that actually describes scenes. “The Descriptive Camera works a lot like a regular camera—point it at subject and press the shutter button to capture the scene. However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene. Modern digital cameras capture gobs of parsable metadata about photos such as the camera’s settings, the location of the photo, the date, and time, but they don’t output any information [more]
Joschi Herczeg and Daniele Kaehr are the two artist behind this small series entitled, “Explosion”. They synced a camera with custom built detonators in order to capture explosions occurring in mundane surrounding, which seems to further the sense of stillness and peace in what is otherwise a chaotic process. I’m not sure if it’s the aesthetics of these shots that gets me jazzed or the idea that I could use it as an excuse to blow things up while photographing. Either way, it got my attention. [more]
