Images, News, Technology, , , , , , , , , , , ,

This holiday season Nintendo will ship black versions of the Wiimote, WiiMotionPlus, and nunchuck.  The Wiimote and the MotionPlus accessory will ship together as a bundle, and the nunchuck will be sold separately.  Still, though, there is no word on the coveted jet black Wii console shipping in North America.  In related news, the DSi is widening its color palette with two new flavors: pink and white.  They will be made available on September 15.  In less related news, the next iteration of Wii Fit dubbed Wii Fit Plus ships October 4.  You can get the Wii Fit Plus bundle that includes the original Wii Fit, the new Wii Fit Plus, and the balance board for $99.99 or you can opt to simply get the new software for a mere $19.99.  Plus features 15 brand new mini-games that promise to be more Americanized for our Western-bent methods of exercising.  See the gallery below for images of the new hardware.

Bokeh filter: from blurs to shapes

Images, photography, Technology, , ,

What is this term ‘bokeh?’  What does the bokeh filter do, exactly?  According to the product’s website:

One of the fastest growing fads in modern photography is bokeh shapes. Bokeh shapes are shapes of light in the blurred background of photos. These shapes are achieved by using a bokeh filter over the camera lens. Bokeh is a photography term derived from the Japanese word for blurred. Bokeh refers to the unfocused background in a photo.  The Bokeh Filter is a simple filter that clips onto the end of your lens. This filter blocks out pieces of light that cause the bokeh (blur) in your images to take the shape of the filter.  The Bokeh Filter has a clip-on design that allows you to quickly apply the filter to your photos.

Cool, huh?  Check out additional images below of the bokeh filter in use.
