Apparently Homer Simpson is quite handy with tools and savvy with camera repairs. Here he demonstrates the proper technique for getting a broken camera to magically work again... or for installing a custom tripod thread to the top of a camera.
Cameras usually hide what it's shooting from you when the sensor is capturing light, so you can't watch slow shutter speed photographs as they're being shot. Magic Shutter is an app for the iPhone that shoots these long exposure using the camera's video feed, which allows you to see the photograph as its being "developed" on the screen.
In the present day world of photography, "mainstream" digital cameras aren't nearly as modular as desktop computers since components can't easily be swapped in and out of the camera body. The future might look quite different, and Nikon is taking a step in that direction with a recent patent filing for interchangeable sensors on EVIL cameras. In addition to choosing a particular lens depending on the desired photo, photographers would be able to choose different sensors as well.
"Dueling Cameras" is a... unique little short by Noah Kalina (of everyday fame) and Adam Lisagor. We love their deadpan expressions and the reactions of passers-by.
The "Flutter in Pinhole" is a beautiful concept camera that combines a cardboard pinhole camera with instant film to make sharing memories a breeze, and could be the high-tech postcard of the future.
