  • Tip of the Day: Make your own Tripod

    Need an emergency tripod for a small compact camera? All you need is a drill, 2-inch ¼-20 bolt, an empty bottle and a cork. Drill a 14-inch hole vertically through the cork’s center, insert the bolt and voilà, a tripod head. Now refill the bottle with water or sand, and there’s your camera support. — Reader Tip from S.V. Dragovic Geneva, Switzerland

    With record-breaking prices going to wall-size prints such as Andreas Gursky's "99 cent II, Diptych" which sold for $3,346,456, it's not surprise that Aperture's Tip of the Tongue Heated Debate this week asks the age-old question, "Does size matter?" During this "light-hearted" debate, involving the audience as well as panelists, moderator Charlotte Cotton, head of cultural programs at Art + Commerce, will tease out the

  • Frederic Lebain's Chocolate-Covered Art

    The artist’s reception for photographer Frederic Lebain at the Clampart Gallery in Manhattan last night was sweet. I’m talking about the pictures, not the usual Thursday night Chelsea crowd. Lebain’s latest work features objects that have been airbrushed with chocolate, then carefully lit and photographed against a chocolate-covered backdrop. Cute, right? But these pictures are more than just empty visual calories.

  • Tip of the Day:Conceal your Camera

    Tired of worrying about getting your expensive gear stolen? Try carrying it in a diaper bag. They’re available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The baby bottle holders on the side are just right for a lens or a flash. There are lots of pockets, and the inside is lined with plastic, so it’s waterproof. Mine came with a little plastic case for carrying wipes that’s great for lens cleaning cloths and memory cards. And nobody ever steals a diaper bag. —Reader Tip from Jim Coffey League City , TX

  • When More is Less

    David Pogue discussed the megapixel myth a while back and said that the average consumer can’t tell the difference between a 5MP and a 10MP camera. Now Adorama is talking about how having more megapixels could actually mean getting worse pictures.

    When a new camera is announced, the megapixel count is stamped on the box in big, bold type. That is after all, the most important thing about a camera, right? Wrong.

  • A Different View

    The accident had left the vision in Schroetlin’s left eye completely blurred, while his right eye still has 20/20 vision, meaning that he naturally saw things in this way already—sharp in the middle and blurred on the edges.
