Created in Bolivia in 2023, these two images were made with the ambitious intention of having a diptych representing opposite moments, giant Sunset & giant Moonset: Two moments outlining the perimeters of the night.
Same location, same focal length, same creators. 12h or so apart between the two images, and only a few seconds to get the alignment of the celestial body right. At 3700m altitude, below freezing point.

Single 8mm is the lesser-known cousin of the popular Super 8mm format. It was Japanese company Fujifilm’s answer to Kodak’s Super 8. Fujifilm hasn’t made Single 8 film since 2012, though, and there are still a lot of cameras out there.
Jenny List has been tackling this issue by designing her own Single 8 film cartridges. And they’re a drop-in replacement for the original cartridges. Jenny has been documenting the design process on YouTube.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers in Japan have reconstructed images from human brain activity using artificial intelligence. While this isn’t the first study of this kind, it is the first that managed to reconstruct images without the subject looking at them.

This is an interesting and very useful-looking tool. It’s called the Jupio x Pr1me Gear Tri-Charge, and it’s a triple battery charger for Nikon, Canon and Sony mirrorless cameras. But it’s not just a charger. It’s also memory card storage, and it can even act as a power bank.
I’m amazed it’s taken somebody this long to make a camera battery charger like this. When you consider that drones and action cameras have had chargers like these for years, why didn’t we have these sooner?
