The Image Fulgurator

Totally uncalled for and totally cool. This camera stealthily projects images onto what other people are photographing by syncing up with a flash detector and, in effect, hijacking the photos. Berlin artist Julius von Bismarck created it and has applied for a patent. The Image Fulgurator (to fulgurate is to give off flashes, like lightning) has been used to vandalize tourists' photos by injecting graffiti into their images; they don't see the altered image until after they've snapped the photo and are viewing it on their digital camera.

The creator's main target has been Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie, the Cold War crossing point between East and West, where thousands of tourists photograph the sign that reads, "You are now leaving the American sector." When the Fulgurator is in action, pictures of the sign are defaced with graffiti that comment on what von Bismarck sees as the connection between the violence that took place at the Berlin Wall and that on today's U.S.-Mexico border. The Fulgurator is used "primarily to mess with tourists," says John Brownlee of Boing Boing. "It rankles, somehow." So it must be successful!

This gadget is not available on the market, but the maker doesn't shy away from providing other mischievous photographers the blueprints. If you already have a digital camera, all you need is a light sensor, a flash, and some time.

businesswire
Photographers Looking for the Next Step Up From Their Point-and-Shoot Camera Will Enjoy the High-End Features and Fun-to-Use SLR Technology of Canon’s Newest Rebel Camera

Canon USA has officially announced its next generation entry level digital SLR camera, the EOS Rebel XS which officially replaces the EOS Rebel XT. Like we told you not so long ago, the Rebel XS offers up a cheaper alternative to the previously announced Rebel XSi.

Aside from features that we mentioned before such as a 10.1-megapixel image sensor, 2.5-inch LCD, 7-point autofocus system, 81% viewfinder coverage, 12-bit image processing, spot metering and remote control functionality, the Rebel XS also boasts of a 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate which will only be limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera. Weighing only 450 grams, the Rebel XS is by far the lightest EOS digital camera that will come out in the market.

And now for the most important information, Canon has announced that the EOS Rebel XS will have a retail price of $699.99. The Rebel XS camera body would come with the standard EF-S18-55m kit lens and is expected to hit the US market sometime in August.
