few days

Fun with sound and laser triggers

The last few days, I've spent quite a bit of time playing with my prototype of the Triggertrap (it's scheduled to ship next month! How rather exciting...), and have rediscovered the vast amount of fun it is to play with balloons... Specifically, balloons that go 'pop' just when you take a photo.

Here's a few of the results I came up with;

It's almost like being a kid again! :)

 

Kuwait: SLR cameras okay after all!

If single lens reflex cameras are banned - can you use a twin-reflex camera instead? The point's moot now anyway, by the look of things.

You know that story we posted a few days ago about SLR cameras being banned from the streets of Kuwait?

It turned out that it caused a bit of uproar – and rightly so. But it also turns out that it was incorrect.

The Kuwait Times have just published a retraction on their original article.

If single lens reflex cameras are banned - can you use a twin-reflex camera instead? The point's moot now anyway, by the look of things.

They say:

“[we] published an article titled ‘Multi ministry camera ban frustrates artists’ in which incorrect information was provided. The newspaper regrets failing to verify the information. The article wrongly stated that a ban on DSLR cameras was implemented by the Ministries of Information, Social Affairs and Finance.

This information is false. In a follow up investigation, it was proved that no such ban has been issued. We regret this error and deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

So, break out your SLR camera and re-book your tickets to the middle east – we’re all ready to go
