Set Perfect White-Balance With Starbucks Coffee-Cup Lid
Array
Gear  |  Camera
How do you achieve the correct white-balance for your photos? Steve Bennett’s idea is Cool! Grab an unused lid from any coffee-shop, pop it on the front of the lens, focus to infinity and take a custom white-balance reading.
"There are many add on gadgets for getting an average white balance, from using a paper coffee filter to the very pricey Expodisc.
Here is another to add to the list, just the top from a cup of Starbucks coffee.
As I usually have a cup or two rolling around in my car, there is usually one I can use in an emergency if I'm out and about :)
I usually keep a few along with straws in the glove compartment too, never know when they will come in handy for a cup of coffee while travelling.
To use, I set the focus to infinity, place the cap over, then set the custom WB. I dont even need to hold it as it fits nicely inside my lens hood, but that is just a lucky coincidence. "

Giant Cameras

Gear  |  Camera
 Built by photographer Chris McCaw. Apparently, he got his start in DIY photography equipment for financial reasons- he sold his expensive large format camera to pay rent, and figured out how to build a replacement for $150. Since then, he's been building larger and larger cameras, such as the 30x40" version shown above. From the Photo-Eye Blog:
"Building my own camera was a really liberating process as a photographer. Sometimes you get into that rut of having big dreams of owning high-end camera gear. The reality is that if you use your imagination and a practical sense of what you want to accomplish, you can do most anything. I feel confident that I can pretty much make any camera I need (I'm currently up to 30x40" mounted on a garden wagon). I also just made one on the base of a wheelchair to hold a 125 lb aerial camera lens!
The wheelchair camera (my friends call it 'the sad robot') was just built last month. So far it is only an 8x10" camera, but it has a 600mm f/3.5 lens that projects an image about 16x20". I was told the lens came off a U2 spy plane -- it is a beast. I use a car jack to raise and lower the lens. I even needed to get a handicap ramp to get it into the van! ".

iPhone 4 versus Canon 7D
Gear  |  Camera
The Canon EOS 7D even with its exposure settings not set correctly, still shows color a lot better than the iPhone 4. But, the iPhone 4 is enough for me. 
"Note: I was mainly focusing on the iPhone video here and didn't have intentions of making this a comparison video so some of the 7D shots aren't properly exposed and some aren't even focused. But here it is regardless.
