You probably already heard about custom bokeh and already came across with a couple tutorials.
It isn't something hard to do, and can add a fun effect to your photos.
You just need a lens with big aperture capacite, for example the Canon 50mm 1.8 (love that lens) and some paper.
The usual tutorials will lead you to something looking like this:
But my girlfriend (also a photography entusiast) had a better idea.
She had the great idea of using my Cokin filter holder kit (something you can get really cheap online, for example on ebay) and use that for the custom bokeh.
The kit should look...

Russian photographer Andrei Pavlov uses real ants to create an amazing photographic series called "Ant Tales".
Some people say that the ants are dead, but after some research I found out that the ants are alive. Andrei spent a lot of time studying ants, and he learned that they all follow a very specific path when they’re working and that is quite easy to draw the ants attention. So all he has to do is find them, put the props right on their trail, set up some flash backgrouns and light reflectors, and just stand on the sidelines photographing the ants.
I tried to find more info about the author,...

After getting my Recesky DIY Twin Lens Reflex ready, I inserted a roll of film so I could test it and learn how things work.
Since it was a test film I kind of clicked away and in a day I spent the entire film.
When the film ended I noticed my first mistake.
After taking the photo you have to turn the knob to pull the film for the next frame (exposure). The film counter has two arrows, and I usually did a full turn after taking a photo (going 360º and ending up on the same arrow). Ends up that a full turn is equivalent to two frames (exposures) and you only need to do half turn.
That means...

A few weeks ago I ordered a Recesky DIY Twin Lens Reflex.
Long story short, the kit was missing a piece, i got a refund and ordered another kit.
On the second try, the kit was complete. The Recesky is a fun DIY toy/lomo camera, not hard to assemble and looks really good.
Focusing looks a little hard to get used to since the image on the viewfinder isn't perfectly clear. I only tried indoors (low light conditions don't help), but I also noticed some people complaining about the same issue on the web. But hey, this is lomography... doesn't need to be perfect!
Here are some photos of my Recesky...

Carl Warner is a London based photographer who makes landscapes out of food.
"The ‘Foodscapes’ are created in Carl’s London studio where they are built on top of a large purpose built triangular table top. The scenes are photographed in layers from foreground to background and sky as the process is very time consuming and so the food quickly wilts under the lights. Each element is then put together in post production to achieve the final image.
Once the drawing is agreed upon, Carl then works out what each part of the scene will be made from, and working with his food stylist they together...

Back in February 2011 I came across with Fotopedia.
Fotopedia is a project born in 2009 and It's something like a Wikipedia-inspired online photo Encyclopedia, were all the photos I've seen are simply amazing. Graphically I also think that Fotopedia looks great, very minimalist and modern. It's one of those websites that i love to visit and browse for a while looking at photographs.
But why speak about it when you can simply try it yourself? Just visit Fotopedia.
