Making fun of silly uw photo trends since 2011..

[klausi]

There is no shortage of innovative equipment in underwater photography. One gadget which has become quite popular during the last decade is the “snoot” – a tubular piece of plastic which blocks the light from your strobe so that only the center of the field of view is illuminated.

The result are often very artistic, in a way that would probably have taken more than eight minutes to replicate in Photoshop. The ubiquitous snoot-ing has also influenced the styles in underwater photography in general: under-exposed images have become common, with dark-ish marine animals lurking in a corner of an even darker frame. Photographs which by all accounts are terribly under-exposed have become the fashion in underwater shooting.....

And now you can do even better with the Pacificklaus Technologies SuperSnoot™
... helping you to block every single light ray!

$795? shoot, I can get pictures like that all day long without that fancy piece of equipment.

Seriously, that was funny.

The price is $795. The author states at one point that: "The result are often very artistic, in a way that would probably have taken more than eight minutes to replicate in Photoshop."

So if I read this correctly, the author is, in effect stating that his time is worth roughly $100/minute.

Well, that's only if you take a single picture. If you take a thousand (completely black) pictures, it's only $0.10/minute. And just think of all the different (completely black) images you can show your friends and post on Facebook.

Hanging in an gallery in paris is a picture frame with no picture. Just a white wall. Was considered cool at one time. Sort of the anti-snoot.

And would probably fetch a hefty sum on the art market!
