Do You Snap Pics at Concerts Despite No Camera Rules?
It's safe to say that if you have a cell phone, you've probably snapped a few photos at a concert to post on Facebook or to send as an accompaniment to a tweet. And although the typical "no photos/camera" rule seems pretty archaic in these days of super-powerful and slim digital point-and-shoot cameras, some bands and venues don't allow cameras of any kind during their shows, while others only allow small, digital versions.
For me, if I'm taking pictures or video of an artist at a concert, it's for my own memory and nostalgia.
Cool Capture: A Black and White Long Exposure Experiment
There are so many awesome photos to choose from in our Cool Capture group, that it's getting hard to decide which one to feature here! If you're anything like me (and I have a feeling you are), then you always have a camera handy just in case an opportune moment arises to capture something beautiful, just like GeekSugar community member icecreamsprinkle who shot this image. I adore light trails, and sometimes it's experimentation that gets you the best results.
Super Secret Spy Lens: Love It or Leave It?
Trying to get someone to "act natural" in front of a camera is like trying to perfect my costume for a Halloween party: I try, but am never 100 percent believable. With most folks, there's always a bit of apprehension that keeps you from getting that perfect photojournalistic (read: candid) shot, but this little gadget may help you out in that department.
The Super Secret Spy Lens ($50) has a discreet side cutout, fashioned with a precise inner mirror so it looks like you're aiming straight ahead, but are really capturing images on the sly.

Japanese Solar Powered Cell Phones Stream Live TV: Lucky!
During my travels through Japan, I just had to stop by the Akihabara district. Known as "Electric City," it's packed with blocks and blocks of gadget shops, game arcades, and stores where you can get every kind of cable known to man. It was a geek's dream, and I was living in it.
Cool Capture: Beautiful Berries Taken With a Nikon D40
Checking out the new entries in our Cool Capture group has become a highlight of my day! I'm loving the variety and learning about which camera and photo tricks you used to take the photo. Here's our latest stunning entry from reader tarajeans, who used her Nikon D40 DSLR camera with a 18-55mm lens and a 4x macro filter ring to take this pic.
What Was the First Pic You Took on Your Camera or Phone?
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but methinks the first photo snapped on a new camera or phone is usually worth less than a buck.
PopSugar Community member Lydiat recently shared the first pic her sister took on her new phone, and I chuckled when I realized I have a collection of similar premiere pics. Whenever I buy or review a new device, my instinct is to take a quick shot of my desk, my shoes, or the street I'm standing on.
Cool Capture: A Stunning Photo Gallery of San Antonio
Our new Cool Capture group is picking up momentum and we're already starting to see some really impressive photos roll in. What's great is that they are all taken from a variety of cameras — from basic point-and-shoots to expensive DSLRs. Here's our latest beautiful entry from reader turkeyjerky.
Cool Capture: Fire and Ice With a Sony Cybershot
I seem to be obsessed with trying to get "the perfect shot" on my camera. Thankfully for digital photography, I can take over 100 photos of the same thing until the photo looks just right. Did you know that we've started a Cool Capture group that celebrates fabulous pics taken by real cameras?
