We love when high end, expensive gadgets and gear, including cameras, are taken apart so we can see all the intricate bits and pieces inside and how they work, and the best way to show that is to have a perfect, clean cross section of the apparatus. Take a look at the above Canon 1Ds ...
Anyone can take apart a camera, or rather, anyone can try and take apart the camera -- putting it back together is a whole other ball park. In order to do so, you need to know where exactly all your parts are and how they go together. Photographer Kelly Hofer took apart his Canon PowerShot ...
Apparently, it has been 150 years since color photography has been invented. Yes, this surprised me too, and I don't remember seeing any color photos from that time. I think the earliest color photos I've seen are from the 1905 San Francisco earthquake. Like most inventions, color photography was somewhat accidental. ...
Camera lenses are some of the most difficult and time consuming parts to make -- no wonder why good lenses are so expensive, they often cost a lot more than the camera, and often, they're worth it.

Some of you might remember when we covered the largest panoramic picture in the world with the city view of Dubai. This is the largest picture taken indoors, and it is of the 868-year-old Strahov Monastery Library in Prague of the Czech Republic. I'm sure that you probably want the numbers on it. ...
There are those who collect photos, and there are those who collect photos, like John Rogers. Over the years, he has amassed an archive of 35 million photos, which he acquired the copyrights from newspapers and publishers, and has since digitized all the photos. His company then sells them as stock photos and licenses them ...
What you are seeing here on the right is someone's compiling of many Google Earth sightings to create the Google Earth alphabet. I have no idea how the compiler did this. Did he or she just happen to see the letters of the alphabet on the landscape and literally search the globe until ...
Remember last week, when we talked about how the Smithsonian Institution had uncovered color photos of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake? It would appear that the Smithsonian is up to some more photographic goodness as they have recently created a new database full of pictures of wild animals. This database is a result ...
