I will be the first to admit that I am not a street photographer, not a wedding photographer, and don’t generally shoot in low light, but I wanted to get a review out since I just received my two copies of Yongnuo’s $40 clone of the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II. Yongnuo has their own branded tape, it seems. Here’s the box that arrived: Nice and simple, with stuff I cannot read on the other side: It looks a lot like the Canon… but we’ll see how it holds up. Here it is prepped for surgery: One copy gets sacrificed on the altar of...

Here’s a tip for operating camera drones: stay away from mommy kangaroos. One operator in Australia found out the hard way recently. They were flying their camera close to a group of Eastern gray kangaroos in Hunter Valley when a protective mother decided to deal with the strange intruder by punching the drone out of the air. The video above shows what happened from the camera’s perspective. This is not something you want to see while flying your camera drone.

Want a simple battery-powered time-lapse camera that you can leave in locations for up to a year? A hacker who goes by “val3tra†is trying to build one. The goal of his project is a camera that can continuously photograph a scene for months or years on time while powered only by a handful of ordinary batteries. The project started when val3tra purchased a simple $20-$30 JPEG camera on eBay. He found that the 640×480 photos snapped by the camera used very little power. 4 AA batteries allowed it to shoot one photo every 30 seconds...
