quote:Photographers dubbed the lens "the tuna" and the case "the coffin," Man, the telephoto compression on that shot of the two women is incredible (actually, all of those sample photos contextualized are incredible). Great link! I'd seen the Canon 1200mm lens link many a time, but this was new to me.

quote:The technicians developing the lens reportedly measured the width of the photographers' seats in person in order to determine its maximum possible length. I'm sure the technicians were very through in their measurements. After all, you never know what conditions might be so its best that they measured the seats over the span of a two week period.

I'd go with "because it sounds hilarious." "Put the tuna back in the coffin." "We're going to rent the tuna again." "Some days I just want to rub the tuna against my body." Endless hilarity. Also, yeah, I guess it does kinda look like a tuna with the tail cut off.

Sadly lacking in deranged mutant killer monster snow goons. And, for what it's worth, the whole thing flies in the face of everything that G.R.O.S.S. stands for.

the posted:http://www.featureshoot.com/2013/03/photos-of-children-from-around-the-world-with-their-most-prized-possessions/ The twin girls from Zanzibar have He-Man figurines. The kid from Texas has dragons and dinosaurs. There is awesomeness in these photos. Rather than First-World/Third-World comparisons, what I find most interesting is the dolls - even where the children (mainly girls, a point for another discussion I guess) have dark skin, the dolls are very white-skinned. Most of the kids don't seem to be smiling. Did they just get bored of having the photographer around?

I'm 6'4" and kids are intimidated by me - I've learned that having no gear other than my camera is the best way to go when shooting kids. I also get down on their level and play with them, interact with them. Or. They are bored and just want to play with their toys.

Might be a cynical response, but I'm assuming they were told not to smile because it's "serious" "social commentary."

My son can barely talk and he says 'cheese' when I point a camera at him. I have never once told anyone to smile when I was going to take their photo.

Back when I worked at Olan Mills taking pics of ugly children I used to have to make all sorts of noises and dances to try to get kids to smile. Kids just don't like looking at me. Anyways, one time I was squatting with the remote trigger in my hand trying to get this loving kid to smile. There were like five female family members/friends in their 20s or early 30s behind me watching the session and trying to get him to smile as well. Anyways, I started grunting and making sounds like an ape and ended up sharting.
