Absolutely unbelievable! Rube Goldberg would have been proud!

Special thanks to our Fotobug listener, Mark, who shared this with us! Fotoshop – the new beauty secret! From the Huffington Post:

It’s no secret that Photoshopping images of models and celebrities is a regular and controversial part of the way that the advertising industry works. And while some companies, like Dove, are working to debunk the damaging and physically impossible standards for the human body that the industry perpetuates, filmmaker Jesse Rosten has a different idea.

Ultimate DSLR Rig

Here is a video that demonstrates the rig of all rigs, the ultimate rig, a rig to impress! If you want to look like a professional filmmaker, you must have an impressive rig and nothing beats the rig that the filmmakers at Neumann Films put together! After watching this video, you will throw your puny, insignificant rig away and you will hang your head in shame and may never make another movie. You are about to see the biggest, baddest DSLR mount ever made!

Then again – maybe not. Perhaps size doesn’t matter? Good for a laugh anyway!!

DSLR No Idea

C’mon – you don’t know anyone like this – do you? Do you? Sure, we all do. Have a good laugh and enjoy – watch The Fotobug podcast and we will see you don’t make these mistakes! Of course we realize this satire should also include those with their cellphone cameras, point and shoots, etc – not just owners of DSLR cameras. Watch The Fotobug podcast and we’ll make sure you don’t fall into making these same errors!

Les Pingouins volent-ils

Les Pingouins volent-ils? (Do Penguins Fly?) is a French animated film I saw years ago and I can’t imagine a film that better captures the frustrations of a nature photographer! I actually had to seek this one out to include it here and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Really? Do penguins fly?

If you have ever attempted nature photographer (even landscape photography) – you will identify with this poor guy!

Octopus Steals Camera!

Imagine a camera thief with eight arms, is extremely slippery, and… well, just watch the video!

This is funny now, but I’m sure the frustrated photographer didn’t think so at the time of the theft!

We mentioned this on a recent The Fotobug podcast and here it is for you to see!

Canon 7D Durability Test

Jim — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 03:13:07 +0000

Just how durable is the Canon 7d? Well, here is an extreme test via drops, bangs, kicks, fire and ice! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

However, if anyone of our readers/viewers would like to donate their camera for our own durability testing, we would be more than happy to oblige! Mine has been back to Canon twice for repairs and it hasn’t been through 1% of what this poor camera experienced.

Fotobug Shootout

We originally did this intro for a “shootout” for HDR programs and have since used it to promote The Black Hills Shootout workshop held in September each year in South Dakota. We hope you enjoy this funny video! Since then we have used the video a number of times on our podcast and it has been quite popular. Would you believe it was all produced in Jim’s backyard in Florida?

This video has been featured several times on The Fotobug!
