Photography - The Best of Instructables Volume 1

Projects from the third chapter of The Best of Instructables Volume 1.

Whether turning string into a tripod or using a magnifying glass to take better close ups, one need not let convention limit innovation. Transferring photographs onto blue - print paper, making an underwater housing for a video camera, or taking professional-level photos with a homemade light tent, these are just a few of the projects made available by the Instructables community. Feeling ambitious? Learn how to explore the world in infrared, convert a duck decoy into a spy cam, and even paint your photos in real time with light.

Well photography is a somewhat limited topic compared to some of the others.

Seriously? Only three instructables in the book on this topic? I don't believe it.

There's only one way to be sure... ...I think you should buy a book and check. *grins*

Hah! I know...and I agree, but I wanted to make this as true to the book as possible, for better or for worse. Hopefully, if something like this ever goes down again, there will be a lot more projects per section... (though, there's only so many pages in a book)
