Want to snap photos from a remote location, up to a kilometer away from your rig? Here’s a fairly cheap and easy project using common walkie-talkie radios to allow you to trigger your DSLR from long distance. The comments on DIYphotography.com have some suggestions on how to minimize the lag time, too.
Have an awesome idea and need $1000 to make it happen? Apply for the awesome grant – http://awesomefoundation.org/
Submit an awesome idea. If we pick it, we’ll give you $1,000 in cash. Yup, $1,000. Cash. Maybe even in a brown paper bag. You’ll also get access to coworking space at BetaHouse for the month of your grant. The only condition is that you be willing to tell us (and some of our friends) about what you did a month later. If we don’t pick it, don’t stress, we’ll pick a new awesome idea next month.
Not much to “do” through this video, but maybe something not to do: be on a train during a tornado.
