I Just Bought The iPhone 5 For $40.

This is a brief excerpt from F-Stoppers

I use my iPhone camera more than any other camera I own. It is on me all the time and is so convenient to quickly share photos from. Even on photo shoots I always find myself pulling out the iPhone for a couple BTS snaps or video. I have had the iPhone 4 since it came out and it has been showing it’s age. I heard of a way to get an iPhone 5 for the cost of sales tax, and so I decided to give it a shot tonight.

Currently Best Buy has the iPhone 5 on sale for $150 (upgrade price), but they also price match, and until mid-January Walmart has the iPhone 5 on sale for $127. So I strolled into a Best Buy tonight and showed the guy an article I found stating the sale price of the iPhone 5 at Walmart, he called a manager, and they agreed to price match it. So now I am already in at $127 for an iPhone 5 with my upgrade. Well if I got the 5 I would have no use for my 4, and Best Buy has a trade in program as well. Seeing as my iPhone 4 would yield me a return of $140 with the charger, I …

Victoria’s Secret Models: Great On The Eyes, Painful For The Ears

This is a brief excerpt from F-Stoppers

After all these years, Victoria’s secret has just been revealed. She can’t sing, not a lick. A recent VS Christmas commercial features their Angels getting ready for the holiday and singing carols while placing presents under the tree and waiting for Santa to show. The girls mess up lyrics, sing horrible notes, drop props … and look fantastic the entire time. MERRY CHRISTMAS from me. Enjoy!

CamCuff is Half Fashion Accessory For You, Half Safety Strap for Your Camera

This is a brief excerpt from PetaPixel

We’re not sure how many punk rock fans moonlight as photographers (or the other way around), but those who are may find the new CamCuff a tempting camera accessory. It’s a fashion accessory wrist cuff that doubles as a camera strap for those of you who aren’t big on the neck variety.

If this seems to be targeted towards a rather small market, you might be surprised. Many photogs out there prefer wrapping their neck strap around their wrist instead. The CamCuff is designed for those people, offering an “easier, more attractive, and far more secure” way of keeping your camera from falling out of your hands. Although there are certainly alternatives out there, they’re generally not designed to be used without your camera on the other end.

The CamCuff offers a simple, stylish and well-built solution to the problem. Put the nylon-reinforced leather strap on your wrist and use it as an alternative to a neck strap when you’re off taking pictures. When you’ve decided to call it a day, unstrap the camera and use the wrist cuff as part of your outfit.

Even if the fashion side of it doesn’t necessarily …

After Revolutionary Run, Is This Finally Farewell to the Canon 5D Mark II?

This is a brief excerpt from NoFilmSchool

Welcome to what may be the end of a noble era in low-budget cinema. The 5D Mark II is arguably the device that turned independent filmmaking upside down, single-handedly — and as an individual piece of engineering may be as important as any single and inexpensive video format has ever been. Since its release (and the waves it created), the camera has put the power to create filmic footage in the hands of just about anyone. Now, as such, Canon seems to have decided that the camera’s work is done, because the company’s site is now indicating the discontinuation of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

I’m sure I don’t need to get any more sentimental about this announcement — the implications of the news speaks for itself. Many of us likely owe our initial discovery and subsequent readership of this site to this very camera. Ironically, given the force of change this workhorse exerted on the low-budget world, this is a rather unceremonious way to break the news.

CanonRumors made the find, pointing to an “Old Products” page on Canon’s Japanese site. Here’s CanonRumors with the discovery:

Self Portrait Photography Inspiration By Thea Curtis (NSFW)

This is a brief excerpt from F-Stoppers

Not many people pull off self portraits well. Usually they are something odd or feel like there is something that just isn’t right or missing. Thea Curtis pulls it off perfectly. She combines self portrait, perfect textures and amazing posing with every shot.

How do you feel about these? I personally think they are fantastic.
