Investing the last of my Jessops tokens into something useful, today I brought myself a Nikon ML-L3 remote. At £16, or £12 is your into Amazon, this little beauty allows you to perform a simple task. Take photos from your Nikon SLR, remotely, without having to dash back to the camera.
First up, lets get to grips with how small it is. This thing is tiny. About twice the length of the current iPod Shuffle, and 1/2 the depth. It comes in a small box with its own carrying case. Wow. The build feels good. Made in China, snazzy. The button is soft to push down.
Setting it up with my Nikon D40 was no problem. Switch the type of shot to remote, and off we go. Hold down the button to focus, and if focus is found it takes a picture. No multiple picture mode, but I’ve no need for that. My camera has a function where I can set it to take a picture and hold open the lens to expose it for longer. This can be used for longer images or magic light painting techniques.
This little gadget will last me a long time. It works any side of the camera and puts me back in control of self photography. Fantastic piece of kit for the price I paid. Get it from Amazon, its well worth the money.
I’m a fan of creative vadalisum. Sure, any old wanker can get a can of spray paint and write “John sucks cock” on a wall. Only an artist can fake a Nuclear Bomb going off.
This little stunt was created by six Czech artists who are known as “Ztohoven”. They took video of the landscape, then added a CGI Nuclear Explosion and re-edited the footage to look authentic. Somehow, don’t ask me, they broadcast / inserted it into a Weather broadcast. It amazes me how clever this is. This seems like a great idea for mischief.
My hats off to all six of you sirs. Learn more via this BBC News article.
No matter what you say, self-allowed cannibalism is funny. The world is a sick and twisted place, but anyone who wants to be “eaten” to become “part of anouther person” really needs to look elsewhere.
There was that story about that German cannable who ate his lover. And that fake site, Manbeef.com, which both caused a stir. Surely it can’t be too long before someone creates a substitute for the real thing. In this day and age of GM foods, man meat could easily be created for the mass market.
If such a food, Manfu dammit, was created, I for one would try some. Curiosity kills the cat, and although the desire to eat another human is none, I am interested in a way to try it. A human flavored meat substitute could be a commercial success.
If I see Manfu on the shelves of my local generic brand supermarket, into the trolley it goes.
