A couple of interesting light-related items to tell you about today.
The first one is aimed at videographers. Ever been in a situation where you needed a softbox but didn't have one on hand?
Afri-Gadget has details on a do-it-yourself softbox. The parts are easily available and cheap. The box is actually made of cardboard, so I'd keep a close eye on it in case it overheats. But it's a great idea... especially for those of you working in the developing world.
More info and a link to the inventor's blog are here.
The other cool D-I-Y project was featured in a recent video post on liveleak. It shows a Brazilian inventor who turns used water bottles into self-powered lights.
How?
He fills the bottles with water, adds some bleach and voila: light. I'm intrigued enough to give this one a try. It certainly seems like a solution to the rotating power cuts in many developing nations.
Here's the video:
Cheers!
