Recently, I've become interested in photographing boiling water in a glass tea kettle. It may sound boring and uninteresting, but with the right lighting, you can get some truly fascinating images.
There are many ways to almost destroy your GoPro trying to capture viral footage -- jumping off cliffs, jumping a mountain bike across a cliff... pretty much anything with a cliff will work -- but this is the first time we've run across someone almost destroying their action cam by boiling it. All to give you an underwater view of an egg being poached.
A Nikon Repair Center based in Taiwan reports that it recently repaired a damaged Nikkor lens by boiling it. The lens, an $1,800 Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8, had been accidentally dropped into the ocean and damaged by salt water.
