Tired of missing great shots because it’s raining or snowing, extremely hot or cold?

Then you must grab a camera designed to survive the most severe conditions such as  intense heat, extreme cold, massive shock and vibration, water, and even shocks!

The Nikon Coolpix AW (All Weather) 100 is a rugged digital camera that can withstand virtually all outdoor conditions and can still take great-looking shots and Full HD (1080p) movies. It comes with 16MP and  5x wide-angle zoom, is waterproof up to 10 meters and survive temperatures as cold as -10˚C and as hot as over 40˚C.

Shooting in the most coldest places of the planet such as Antartica and North America? It’s the ideal camera. I live in Canada and have experienced winter days I could not even put my nose outside but at -10˚C, I’m outside capturing great scenes, that’s for sure. :-) And what about traveling to the hottest place in the world, like…say…El Azizia? This camera becomes a must. Truly a no-brainer.

You invest hard-earned money into a digital camera. When the weather’s bad, be it hot, cold or raining, you don’t want your camera to be damaged and we all know that standard cameras hate extreme heat and extreme cold.

Life on the road deserves GPS + Electronic compass right? So the COOLPIX AW100 has these features too: built-in World Map and built-in GPS.

Wondering how on Earth can your favorite photograph be laser-tech onto a flatter piece of crystal to make a 2D photo crystal or even a beautiful 3D Laser crystal?

Watch the videos below and see how the experts turns a simple photograph into Crystal Art!

3d laser crystal art

The best part in this cristal art process, is that you can personalize and custom-made your gifts, tailoring them to suit any occasions. :-)

…whether it’s Graduation, Father’s Day, birthdays, National Dog Day, funerals, Christmas, or Chanukah. There is literally no occasion for which a 3D photo crystal would not be appropriate, since you choose precisely how it looks!

3D Laser Gifts: solving your gift-giving conundrums one at a time

In the article excerpted below, 3DLaserGifts explains in more details the easy steps you must take to make it happen.

They say that at some point, technology is indistinguishable from magic. How else could we perform the miracle of etching a beautiful, 3-dimensional image deep inside the hide of fine crystal? I mean, the crystal, even with the 3D photo inside of it, is flawless and unmarred. This begs explanation.

The answer, of course, isn’t magic—not quite. You don’t need magic to create a 3D photo crystal, you need a lasers. Let me explain how the process works.

 First, choose your photograph.

The ideal photograph will have a nice contrast with a small number of subjects: whether they’re faces, cars, beautiful brides, or pets. Less is more.

The more in focus your subject is, the happier you’ll be with the result. In fact, we try to limit the number of faces to 3 so that you will be able to fully appreciate the 3D effect of the laser-etched image inside the crystal.

Upload the image to our site.

We read the image.

Our expert colleagues run your image through some powerful software in order to use the light and shadows to create a 3D model from your 2-dimensional photograph.

Again, the higher the contrast, the more striking the 3D effect will be.

The software then plots the points of illumination; meaning that it reads where the light hits the subject in the photograph.

The laser etches your image in 3D.

Photo crystals are made using a special laser that focuses its concentrated beams of light to a precise point below the surface of the crystal.

Each bright point in the image is plotted in the final crystal piece. The laser then focuses a high-powered beam on each three-dimensional coordinate.

Once the beam reaches the focal point, the powerful laser pulse makes a tiny void or inclusion inside the crystal.

Then the laser moves to the next coordinate and makes another etched point.

Finally, enough points are created to reproduce the design deep within the crystal.

As laser beams are non-invasive, no marks or blemishes are left on the surface of the crystal.

When viewed from any angle, the intricate design is much like a three dimensional sculpture, its ghostly image floating deep in the heart of the crystal.


Is your imagination generating some great ideas?

Mine is! And I see many occasions were I could offer a 3D Crystal Art Laser Gift .

Gotta go write-up my list to ensure I do not forget someone. I sense it will be a Crystal Christmas this year :-)

Have fun and talk soon,

Janice

I heard about leaving books on a bench, in the airplane or on a subway seat to read and pass on thereafter in the same manner, but framed photography placed in unique locations to be picked up and cherished?

Yep! That’s what a guy named Mrog Deville does. His project “This Was Found” is an experiment to create and distribute free photographic art to the masses.

Mrog Deville makes prints of photographs, frames them, and then leaves them in various locations. The works might be left untouched for the public to view, or people can take them home to treasure them. Finders can visit the website and report the framed print as being picked up.

“These locations are not where you would normally put artworks.  We hope the works will persist in these locations, or be picked up by members of the public, who will go home and treasure them forever.  Otherwise the works may be picked up by the bin men, and that will be that.”

Talking about unique creativity!

On their website, we can read comments from people who reported back their finds. Some of them even sent a photograph showing the framed photography in their home.

This is cool :-)
