This person made a wrist cam from a broken 35mm film digital camera

Iranian photographer Alireza Rostami has a constrained funds, but endless creativeness. We have showcased some of his great Diy projects, and he just shared a further a single with us. He gave a new lifetime to a broken 35mm digital camera and turned it into a wrist cam. It does not only choose photographs, but it appears to be really superior, as well!

Alireza is the proof that concepts can appear from everywhere when you’re resourceful.

Which camera maker has the best stabilisation system?

Thanks to lens and in-camera stabilisation, a tripod isn’t quite as essential as it used to be, but which camera maker has the best system? Angela Nicholson reveals all as part of our Nobody Does it Better series.

Photography is full of ‘rules’ and guidelines and one of the best known is that you should use a shutter speed that is the reciprocal of the lens focal length to ensure a sharp image that’s not spoiled by camera shake. So with a 100mm lens, for example, you should use a shutter speed of at least 1/100sec.
