Hard not to be impressed…

It is hard not to be impressed by the World’s tallest building here in Dubai. Just one of many fabulous buildings. It’s like they have gathered together the World’s most impressive architects and let them loose in one place at more or less one time.

The Martian. Why no Oscars?!

Very disappointed that The Martian didn’t get any Oscars.  A gross oversight in my view.  But if there was an Oscar for having a good time during the making of a film, The Martian deserves it:

A new way of zooming…

It is always interesting to see what comes up on John Nack’s site.

Zooming in photography and video has always involved using a mechanical lens but here’s something very new and interesting – a clever system involving two fixed (non-mechanical) lenses and some very clever software.  This could very much alter the way we use lenses on all cameras.

Via John Nack.
