LENSPEN

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-03-25

The LensPen ($15) is an essential tool for keeping all kinds of optics ready for maximum performance. Small enough that you can clip it in your pocket or toss it in your bag, LensPen has two easily accessible working ends. Slide out the brush end first and use it to effectively remove all loose dust and dirt from the lens or eyepiece. The retractable brush, made natural goat hair, is so gentle it can do no damage to the optics, yet it’s so hardworking the dust vanishes.

That still leaves those pesky fingerprints or other grease blemishes on the glass. No problem for LensPen. Just take the cap off the other end and the flexible chamois tip, which matches surface shapes and countors, is ready to work.

That chamois tip, embedded with a carbon compound, is ready to tackle the toughest prints. It’s essentially the same principle that makes the use of newspapers still a popular home remedy for cleaning windows – the same carbon compound is used in printer’s ink. And the cap has a pad of carbon compound to constantly refresh the chamois.

There’s never anything to spray on, nothing to dry out or wear out, nothing to replace, so there’s no “expiration date” to a LensPen. And you can use it with confidence – whether you are in extreme desert heat or arctic cold – knowing that it can do no damage of any kind to your gear or the environment.

The Telemegaphone in Dale, Norway stands seven meters tall on top of the Jøtulshaugen mountain overlooking the idyllic Dalsfjord in Western Norway.

When you dial the Telemegaphone’s phone number the sound of your voice is projected out across the fjord, the valley and the village of Dale below. Watch the video to see more.

Singapore International Photography Festival 2010: Call for Submissions

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-03-21

Now, the 2nd SIPF 2010 commences with two categories for open call. The open-ended theme category continues with the purpose of unearthing new works and talents. This year’s festival incorporates a brand new themed category titled, ‘HUMAN: NATURE’ to address universal concerns faced by the world. The duality in the theme can be freely interpreted either as ‘Human Nature’ or ‘Human Nature’. The ‘colon’ represents a relationship and a balanced ratio between Human and Nature. Thematically, this category is an ambitious call for creative interpretation on HUMAN: NATURE.

SIPF curators will select work from 50 photographers to be shown in the 2010 Singapore International Photography Festival. Short-listed entries will be exhibited across Singapore between 10th October and 15th Nov 2010. The selected participants will be notified via email in May 2010, and would be announced in June 2010 on the festival website. Deadline for submissions is March 31.
