Matching outfits for the queen.

When a Photoshop fan sees a big green visual space, they cannot help but think of chroma keying it. This technique allows you to replace an easy-to-isolate colour, often green, with whatever your want. So, when the Queen stepped out wearing a bright green suit in public, trigger happy photoshop users and Instagram sharers like @samchaplin and @dempseydoodlesdesign got straight to work.

We had a good giggle at the queen’s new wardrobe. Are these outfits fit for a queen? You decide.

Drone smashes wedding guests in the face.

More and more wedding photographers and videographers are using drones to capture unique perspectives. It takes a skilled pilot, however, so when a groom unleashed a flying camera drone at his wedding, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that it smashed into some of the guests’ faces.

It should be a no-brainer for an unskilled flyer not to fly a drone in a crowded place, but let this serve as a nice warning for ambitious wedding photographers as well. If you’re going to try for the drone shot, make sure you have lots of practice under your belt before takeoff.

It automatically follows you, or whatever you want it to follow, without the need for a bracelet or a physical tracker. When you take off, the Mavic moves using 2 vision sensors and connects to up to 20 satellites. So it knows where it takes off, where it is in the air, where it is going and what it is capturing.

As you fly, satellite systems keep track of your drone and work in perfect harmony with all 4 vision sensors, telling the DJI Mavic what is below and in front of it.

Just like you, the DJI Mavic Pro drone sees and thinks. This means that it can avoid obstacles in its flight path whether you’re flying in a forest, beside a cliff and even indoors. It also remembers where it took off and can return by itself at the push of a button, to almost exactly where it took off.

Don’t try this at home, even if you have a sword and a lot of fruits to slice.

By now, you would think that people would’ve started running out of weird and interesting places to mount action cameras, but you should never underestimate the power of creativity! YouTube video, Sam and Niko, attached a sword to a GoPro to offer their viewers a unique POV of cutting up various fruit.

Like GoPro, we encourage users to enjoy new adventures with the action cameras, but Sam and Niko definitely took this to another level. Feed your wanderlust with your very own GoPro camera, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.
