Nikon US has announced a radio-frequency camera triggering system compatible with all its current DSLRs. The WR-10 system works over a 60m range and, unlike the current infrared system, does not require a line-of-sight between the trigger and the camera. Users of mass-market Nikons (D600 and below) can use the WR-T10 transmitter to focus or fire cameras with WR-R10 receivers attached to them. Owners of pro-grade DSLRs with 10-pin connectors can use the WR-A10 adapter to connect the R10 to their camera. This combination allows the camera to act as a host that can remotely trigger up to 64 other cameras.

City dwellers are bombarded each day with the demands of advertisers, government, media and other groups that dominate communication, and their own voices can be lost in the din. Signs, images and symbols confront us on every possible surface with messages that tell us what to do and how to think. YOUR TEXT HERE, an installation by artist Marcos Zotes, flips that dynamic, displaying the words of citizens in bold type on the sides of buildings.
YOUR TEXT HERE is an urban light art installation that projects short messages from participants onto buildings, allowing them to broadcast their thoughts and feelings back to the city. Users enter their messages through a website on their mobile phones, enabling their voices to be heard while remaining anonymous.
More than 1,000 anonymous messages were projected for 10 to 20 seconds each during DLECTRICITY, an outdoors light art festival that took place in midtown Detroit in October 2012.
While this particular project was approved by local officials, ‘projection bombing‘ is often done guerrilla-style. Because it’s temporary and the source of the light can be hard to pinpoint, it offers a relatively easy way to get messages across to a large number of people without fear of getting in trouble with the authorities. This technique was used by activist Mike Read during the peak of Occupy Wall Street to display messages like “Look around, you are a part of a global uprising.”
Here’s a look at three types of urban light art: dorm room tetris, lightstick air animation and architectural projection bombing.

Light graffiti, also known as light painting, is a kind of leave-no-trace, sustainable and incredibly awesome temporary graffiti if captured right by clever photographers.

For wine aficionados, hes an inspiration. For wine novices, hes a deep source of knowledge.
Just posted: our hands-on preview of the Fujifilm’s updated enthusiast zoom compact, the X20. Using the same basic design as X10, including its fast 28-112mm equivalent F2-2.8 zoom lens, the X20 uses a completely new sensor, a 2/3″-type version of the X-Trans CMOS design used in the company’s X-system cameras but with adde3d on-chip phase detection AF. It also gains an ‘Advanced Optical Viewfinder’ that’s capable of displaying overlaid exposure information, and a couple of design tweaks to take best advantage of this. In our preview we take a closer look at what the X20 has to offer the enthusiast photographer.
