Elephant phallus hide? Better grip when wet? The jokes just write themselves people.

It's pretty funny how he points to the contact page to see a hi-rez pic as to show that it, in fact, is not a flipped negative! Hah.

Everyone should read the entire "Everything New Sucks" just since it's the single greatest Dorkroom troll we'll ever experience but the digital camera section was too good not to highlight:K-Rock posted:With digital, no one can get their cameras to go. Half the time the pictures don't take when you press the button. Maybe there's no card in the camera, maybe you have it set wrong, or maybe the battery is dead. Good luck, sucker! Gerddamn digital cameras not takin the pictures when I tell em to and forgetting the memory card. Gerddamn menus too complicated THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES i tell ya Leyendecker fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jan 23, 2010 |

I love seeing people get upset about k-rock. His recommended camera is a p&s which says a lot about his target audience. He makes a living from referrals from the camera stores he links to on every page, and gets to play with dope gear all the time. Which leads to more articles, more links, more sweet gear. Its a vicious cycle

quote:even had a veterinarian friend in Africa who specializes in elephant care send me some phallus hide from the Loxodonta Africana (known for its flexibility and grip when wet) I wonder how one obtains this kind of specific dermatological knowledge?

Anyone know where I can find a hi-res version of this photo? It's a promotional shot from Canon, but I just love the colours and light. I want a new desktop picture, dammit!

This is insane and awesome! It's a whole collection of old photos taken while put back into the scene, if that makes sense. Check it out. I think my favorite is this one:

Rephotography is kind of an interesting photo history thing. This website has a pretty cool map/overlay thing with the images.

On an unrelated note, looks like the official White House photographers are now using tilt/shift lenses as part of their arsenal. (Also, they all shoot with Canon 5D Mk II's):

I don't really have a problem with that particular photo. It helps focus the eye on Obama in an otherwise cluttered room. Not that it would be a Where's Waldo photo otherwise, but I don't really mind the TS in this case. Though the angle it was shot at does make the TS look a little off. Maybe if they put the photographers dead centre, it would look a little better.

Found a link to this guy over in the Cycle Asylum: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=536451 Dude rides a motorcycle and brings along his 5D MkII/16-35 F2.8L setup in his tank bag. When he sees a good shot, he grabs the camera by the top and just fires away with his index finger while riding one handed. He has some outrageously beautiful shots. Says most of the time he shoots shutter priority between 1/80 and rarely over 1/200, mostly 1/125. If he's shooting into the sun he'll even go so far as to use manual mode.
