Photography gear can quickly get expensive, so check out our compilation of DIY tips on how to turn everyday objects into photography gear. When it comes to photography, it's not all about expensive equipment, imagination and ingenuity play a bigger role, which also applies to the use of various props that unexpectedly enliven your photo or protect the camera. Marcus Berger prepared seven of them for us.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Libre is the thinnest wireless keyboard case for mobile devices. It's only 5 millimeters thick and weighs just 200 grams, yet startup Casestudio managed to cram lighting equipment and the ability to switch between three devices into its case. The entire thickness of the magnetic case, which is seeking support on Kickstarter, is 18 mm, and it consists of three parts (cover, case and keyboard) and is suitable for iOS, Android and Windows devices.
Body painting can be absolutely stunning and certainly one of the greatest masters of this craft is Johannes Stötter, an extremely talented Italian artist. Because if you thought that chameleons are masters of camouflage, take a look at his works, with which he hides a person from your eyes by painting his body and "sells" him to you for something completely different. It took him 10 hours to create the chameleon, which is actually two painted female bodies.
Recently, the Slovenian team TOK TOK knocked on Kickstarter's door with Trobla, a wooden speaker for various models and brands of smartphones, and since April 7, 2015, it has been hunting for the necessary financial resources on this platform. Matej Rodela, Andrej Koruza and Martin Šoštarič, who are behind the Slovenian project, created a speaker without batteries and additional electronic devices and offered the world one of the rare products from the world of consumer electronics that is entirely made of natural materials.
For most, the new Black application will be completely unnecessary, as everyone knows how to find a black and white filter. For some photographers, this is the app they've been waiting for. Like the Leica M Monochrom camera, the Black is focused on one thing only - creating superb black and white photos. The application team carefully analyzed and recreated the effects of Kodak, Fuji, Agfa and Ilford reel films.
With the advent of smartphones and tablets, the word toy has taken on a new meaning. It has also become popular with adults, because why should only children play? But if you now have in mind the many technical "gadgets" that we encounter and present to you every day, this time we are serving you the most innovative, but above all, sinfully expensive toys for adults. Toys like we dreamed of as children.
Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) chooses a theme that it highlights even more on its birthday, World Health Day on April 7. This time, she pushed food safety to the fore, as she wants to remind those responsible and the public of its importance and what we can do ourselves to put food on the table that is safe to eat. That it is a pressing problem is evidenced by the fact that, globally, the entire population of Slovenia dies annually as a result of the consequences of unsafe food.
If you thought the HTC One M9 looked a lot like its predecessor, wait until you see the HTC One M8s, which is almost identical to last year's flagship HTC One M8, but available for a significantly lower price. So if you want a mid-range smartphone that you can easily trade in for an elite one, the One M8s is the right choice. But so you don't think it's a Ferrari with a Fičo engine. The HTC One M8s is powerful, sophisticated and most importantly, affordable.
Festival Tour de Fat 2015, a child of the American brewery New Belgium Brewing, will visit 10 American cities in 2015, where they will collect funds for local non-profit organizations and promote a sustainable form of transportation - the bicycle. Each outpost of the festival, which will take place between May 30 and October 3, 2015, will host a unique bicycle parade that will occupy the city streets and end in the city park, where the program will continue with musical and artistic performances, all will still spin around the wheel.
Usually, to determine visual acuity, eye specialists use the so-called Snellen optotypes, according to the plebeian table with eleven types of letters, which are larger at the top and then smaller towards the bottom. But this is not the only way to examine our eyes. The quality of vision can be checked at home in a fun way. All you need is this video with the image of Albert Einstein or Marilyn Monroe (who you see depends on how good your eyesight is).
Pop Stick is an innovative waterproof selfie bracelet that turns into a selfie stick and allows you to take a selfie even where the use of sticks has been banned. The latest high-profile example is the Coachella music festival. It works on the same principle as the reflective bracelet, which is so popular among cyclists and runners as well as pedestrians, and by solving the most pressing dilemma of the moment, how to take the perfect selfie, it will probably become a real hit among selfie addicts.
James Bond anyone? Here's Susan, Susan Cooper (Mellisa McCarthy), a CIA analyst and unsung hero behind the agency's most dangerous missions, who, after her partner disappears and another top agent's identity compromised, volunteers to trade office work for the work of a secret agent. In the movie Spy, there are tons of first-class actors. In addition to McCarthy, there are also Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne and Morena Baccarin.
