  • Westcott introduces one-of-a-kind Omega 360, a 15-in-1 reflector

    Photography lighting accessory company Westcott has introduced a new Omega reflector product, the 15-in-1 Omega Reflector 360. Unlike the previous Omega reflector, this model offers 15 different usage scenarios, a world’s first according to Westcott. The reflector features a removable 13in / 33cm center disk, as well as multiple diffusion fabrics (white, silver, sunlight, black and 1-stop), a hanging hook, and a carrying case.

    The Omega Reflector 360 is a 40in / 102cm ring-shaped reflector made with a spring steel riveted frame, pure white and black nylon, and double-laminated reflective cloth. The unit weighs only 2.5lb / 1.1kg, and can be collapsed down to a third of its open size. The 13in inner disk attaches to the reflector ring using Velcro.

    Westcott is offering the Omega Reflector 360 now through its website for $ 130.

    dollhouse competition designers

    Some of the world’s best and brightest architects and designers, including Zaha Hadid, have come together to create a series of unique custom dollhouses to be auctioned for a disabled children’s charity KIDS.

    dollhouses flashy weird design

    The array of approaches is as impressive as the collection of contributors (a full list of the latter to follow). Some designs are flashy and playful, others abstract and metaphorical, and still others practical and innovative.

    dollhouse concrete modular inserts

    Starting on the more rigid and straightforward side of things, one concrete creation features plug-and-play rooms that fit into a framework, acting as a learning tool as well as a toy.

    dollhouse stackable room variants

    Another puzzle-inspired arrangement features stackable spaces that be configured in an innumerable variety of possible ways, creating a game out of iterating spatial relationships.

    dollhouse inflatable playspace surprise

    One of the more surprising design, at least in terms of thinking outside the (jack in the) box, is shown above before and after deployment.  It has faux facades that open to reveal a full kid-sized inflatable playspace. But it is not the only design with a surprise inside.

There were plenty of unique ideas going around, as well. Some were genuinely useful, while others may leave you scratching your head. In this article, DPReview’s Jeff Keller takes a look at ten cameras that have stood out over the last thirteen years.
