Box cameras in the digital age
Do you have one of those old box cameras sitting on your shelf? Maybe you found it in the basement, garage, attic, or thrift shop. It makes a nice little knick-knack doesn't it?

Reach for the skylight
How much do you have invested in your camera lens? Depending on how many you have and what focal length they are, several hundred at the very least, right? You protect the lens with a cap when you're not using it, don't you? Sure you do. But what about when you're using it? What can you do then? You can reach for the sky. Skylight filter, that is.
