Red Eye gives away your age.
If you’re like me you’d have thought that red eye is a problem, not something that you would want to have in your photo. Well it turns out that some smart fella has found a use for it, to tell your age. Yep your age.
Red eye is caused by the light being bounced off the blood vessels at the back of the eye. There are red-eye prevention techniques that have a pre-photo flash to get the iris to constrict and reduce the red-eye effect. It turns out though as you get older the muscles that constrict the iris are weaker and don’t do as good job. So basically the more red-eye that appears, the older you are. Its probably not that simple in practice, read more about it here at the Discovery website.
For me I still think I will continue to try to get rid of it!
Wow what a rainbow
Dark Side of Citizen Snapping
Sadly I can believe this is true. If it’s not true I can see the scenario happening before long.
Scoopt: Entirely anecdotal evidence of the dark side of citizen snapping
The burger king on praed street had a fire on saturday morning.
3 people had their phones out, and were filming it, before anyone called the fire brigade, or told the people inside to get out.
Eclipse
FlickrBlog points to pictures of the eclipse posted to Flickr. It’s nice to mark these kinds of events but I never seem to catch them prepared. The last proper eclipse we had in the UK I almost burned my retinas like the rest of the population but I was at work without a camera or any of the requisite eye/lense protection required. Lots of people did the homebrew versions recommended in newspapers. Ah well, maybe next time!

Win This
This SanDisk Ultra II 1.0gb Compact Flash memory card could be yours if you win the Picture a day challenge vote.
First though we need to start nominating!
To nominate add a comment to this post. At this stage you do not need to register (you will to vote) but I will not approve any nominations that do not include your name and email address to make it fair (otherwise people would find it easier to post every pic in their set, heh).
Please post thumbnails and/or links of three nominations with a short description of why you are nominating them. They can be yours or someone elses but they MUST be taking part in either 30dayphoto or DSLRBlog-PAD tagging and have made a good effort to take and upload a picture a day.
Nearer the end of the month you will have another opportunity to nominate so get looking and nominating now! Get your friends to nominate you!

Photography Makes You Happier Than Chocolate, Music, TV, Wine
According to research by the open university on behalf of Orange, looking through photographs is more effective at relaxing us than troughing on chocolate or swigging bottles of wine.
Getting Snappy Makes You Happy
This research was released to promote their new photo service so I wouldn’t cancel that therapy appointment just yet, ha, but I do agree with the findings. For a really nice relaxing browse through Flickr I recommend the Slickr Screensaver.
In fact as well as looking through photographs I find taking them quite relaxing too. Well, when things are going well, heh.
