Photojojo!: Great Photo Projects & DIY Ideasfrom Photojojo!: Great Photo Projects & DIY Ideasand written by Amit Gupta and Kelly Jensen shows you how to turn your forgotten photos into ingenious photo projects.

Do you have lots of pics of friends and family you want to show off? Make a sleek, stylish photo display rail so you can change them up at a moment's notice. Need something to play with? Make photo slider puzzles, Rubik's cubes, and temporary tattoos. Or spruce up your pad with a photo chandelier or a giant wall mural you can print at home! All the projects use basic materials and are easy enough to whip up in an afternoon.

Once you're armed with what you can do with all your images, check out Photojojo's inspiring ideas to get you shooting photographs more creatively. Investigate the world from a canine perspective with the amazing doggie cam, or grab your friends and head out on a photo safari. Make a sneaky hidden jacket camera and turn string, a washer, and a screw into a monopod that fits in your pocket, MacGyver-style. Learn how to motivate yourself to take a photo every day with project 365, or get the little ones involved with Photojojo's head-spinning photography method. Photography just became a whole lot more fun.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this book cover off-camera flash photography or just on-camera flash?

A: I have this book. From what I can make out (it is so detailed and verbose, almost too much so), most of it refers to understanding on-camera flash and manual modes, though some of it may be applicable to off-camera flash. There is a very small section for off-camera flash. I personally haven't used this book much after I bought it.

Q: 2. What is the best software for this printer?

A: The XYZprinting Crazy3DPrint CZ-300 DIY 3D Printer is best used with the free Cura software which can be downloaded from XYZ's website.

Q: 3. How do you connect this to the app on wifi? I don't see any sort "pairing" or wifi indicators on the body of the camera. And without wifi it can't be turned onto the motion detection setting which kind of stinks. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

A: The KJB Security Products DIY 1080p Wi-Fi Pinhole Hidden Camera BH #KJDIY120 requires downloading the Kalay App for iOS & Android.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with the 50mm 1.8x lens?

A: Yes, the BLAZAR LENS Great Joy PL Mount Adapter is compatible with the BLAZAR LENS Great Joy 50mm T2.9 1.8x Anamorphic Lens, but note that this is only compatible with the EF/PL mount version of the lens. It will not be compatible with other lens mount versions.

Q: 5. Can I use a PL to L converter without issues? I’m asking because I need an L mount one, but it’s on back order.

A: It would be recommended to go with the L mount version of the BLAZAR LENS Great Joy 35mm T2.9 1.8x Anamorphic Lens (PL + EF Mount) due to the protrusion of the rear of the PL version of this lens which may not be compatible with certain PL to L mount adapters on L mount cameras.

A: Yes, this is compatible with the Ghost Eye 600m according to Cinegears.

A: Its not an instant camera. After shooting you will need to develop the film

Q: 9. Is this printer really manufactured by XYZ printing? This doesn't look like one of their usual designs.

A: XYZ is not the manufacturer but they are providing tech support, warranty support and distribution. In other words, all the same responsibilities as if they made the printer themselves.

Q: 10. Does the focus ring have both meters and feet marks?
