Photographer Kim Pimmel created this amazing abstract time-lapse using a Nikon D90 and Nikkor 60mm macro lens. What you see is ferrofluid traveling between soap bubbles toward a magnet. No video was used -- every frame of the video was shot as a still photo.
Flickr introduced an innovative location-based privacy feature today called "geofences". It's a way of assigning default privacy settings to certain locations for geotagged photographs. For example, you can assign a geofence with a certain radius around your home, and automatically set those photos' location data to only be visible to your friends and family. Each user can have up to 10 geofences, and existing photographs are automatically updated to new geofence privacy settings.

On August 2nd, Silva visited the Bronx Documentary Center and gave a talk on his thoughts and experiences.
Photographer Binh Danh observed one summer that there was a difference in color between grass under a water hose and the grass directly exposed to sunlight. He then began to experiment with combining photography with photosynthesis, and came up with what he calls "chlorophyll prints" -- photographs printed onto leaves using the sun.
YouTube user destinw -- the guy behind the chicken steadicam (and worth subscribing to) -- recently met up with photographer Darren Samuelson and his massive homemade large format camera.

Check out some of his amazing ultra-large format photos here.
Rumors about Fujifilm's upcoming "mini-X100" is heating up. The word on the street is that the camera will be announced on Thursday, and that it will officially be called the "X10" rather than the "X50". There were also some new photos of the camera leaked onto the web in addition to the blurry Promaster catalog photo we shared last week.
It's a pretty common question: if you had to choose, would you rather have a top-of-the-line DSLR with a cheap lens or an entry-level body with pro glass? Kai of DigitalRev attempts to answer the question through a hands on experiment in this humorous and educational video.
