So today while cleaning out my closet:

Don't even ask how all of that crap fit in my 2ft x 5ft closet...

I came upon this interesting, however completely useless toy:

So naturally I decided to rip it apart and see what was inside. I ended up with this:

So of course I whipped out the camera for some test shots. Although it casts a nasty blue tint, I think I could get some half-way decent results from this small made-in-china Novelty.

I figured I would share my discovery with you all while I procrastinate finishing organizing my closet.

Say, mount that thing on a small piece of plywood, then bolt the plywood to your camera...maybe a bit of foil for reflectiveness, et voila!

I bet you could compensate the blue color with a custom white balance.

haha, you're very observant. Covert ops is the oldest school RainbowSix. Best video game ever made. :lol:

And yes, I'm quite proud of my Bonds, I'm also loving the newest edition. Casino Royale just came out. :cool:

edit: oh, and I happened to find another of these things in my brothers closet. So now I have two useless thingys to play with. :lol:
