Robert’s video shows animals that crossed the bridge over the course of one year. This is a natural habitat of all these species, and it’s fascinating just how many of them there are....

Researchers Develop System To Locate Gunshots Based On Smartphone Video

In some parts of the world, gunshots are heard more often than in others. Sometimes in places where one shouldn’t be hearing gunshots. Places where response teams need to act fast to catch the person firing them. A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a system that can use smartphone video to locate the source of gunshots using machine learning. The system is known as Video Event Reconstruction and Analysis (VERA) and can work with as little as three videos to accurately locate the position of a shooter....

Rip Tie Has A Super Strong Alternative To Gaffer Tape With No Sticky Residue

Wrapping cables is probably the biggest pain in the backside of any kind of shoot that requires them. For photographers, that often means strobe power cables or maybe sync cords if you’re not using wireless triggers. For filmmakers you’ve got power cords, audio cords, HDMI cables, and all kinds of things. Often, we just use gaffer tape, which ends up getting thrown away and replaced on every job. Or, perhaps, we use velcro, which still needs to be replaced regularly as they usually get lost....

San Francisco S Top 10 Photo Hits You Don T Want To Miss

San Francisco isn’t the most visited U.S. city. In fact it’s no. 5, after New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Orlando, attracting 3.3 million visitors yearly, per the World Atlas. But it happens to be the most photogenic, IMHO, with more photo eye candy per square mile than its competitors. Think about it—the New York Empire State Building or the Golden Gate Bridge? Disney World or Cable Cars? As many readers know, I’ve been talking recently here about the wave of camera thefts in the city, so I recently returned to San Francisco, left my big Sony camera at home, and ran around the city with just an iPhone 13 Pro and tiny GoPro camera to photograph the 10 greatest hits photos of the city....
