In this image roundup I gathered a set of images that contain bright colors, more specifically the colors of summer. By James Blunt Your challenge this week will be to do similar.

read moreHow a Nikon F3 Still SLR Was Modified to Film Indiana Jones in 1983
Did you know that a Nikon F3 still photography film SLR was used to shoot the 1984 movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? The mine cart chase scene in the film would have been too expensive if the track were built to scale, so George Lucas and Steve Spielberg turned to the special effects team at Industrial Light and Magic. They modified a Nikon F3 to shoot the chase scene in miniature using stop motion. By adding a large film magazine and motor drive to the back of the camera, the team created a stop-motion camera that could...

If you’re curious about the technical details of how these things work, Toshiba just released this (relatively) easy-to-understand 3-minute video that explains how phase detection autofocus works, both with separate AF sensors and with phase-detection sensor pixels. (via...
