Black Friday is only days away, and by now you should start planning your Christmas shopping. But if you are like me, you are already late – and really struggling to come up with a good idea. Well here’s one for you – the brilliant SuperTooth Buddy Bluetooth handsfree for your car!
I’ve been a happy owner of one of these for a couple of months now, and it is a brilliant gadget and it could potentially be one of the best investments you ever make. Considering the fines frequently handed out for using your mobile while driving in Norway, one of these could save your wallet big bucks!
Key features:
- 1000 hours standby time
- 20 hours talk time
- 3 hours charge time
It could be yours for as little as NOK 390,- but check out the Prisguide.no for updates.

While updating my StokkPhoto website, I came across some photos from the actual setup I arranged when shooting some flower macro images at my parents’ house back in January 2009. As you will see from these photos, this was a rather simple setup; however, suitable for this use, and quite effective. Here is what I did.
As always with macro photography, I strongly recommend to use a sturdy tripod. To increase the chances of getting crisp clear results, also use a remote control on your camera, or alternatively you can use the timer-function on your camera.
To add the dark background, I simply placed my subject in front of a wall-mounted LCD TV, and to be able to control the light, I set up a Lastolite reflector and pointed a LED flashlight at it.
Simple, clever, and effective! Here is the setup, and the result.
