An incredible video by Sean Stiegemeier shot on a Canon 5D mkII. Describing his video he says “So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better.”

I do love a game of poker. It really does grab you by the balls and holds you close saying: “Yeah? Yeah?! You think you’re so fucking hot, huh? Punk ass?” Well, that makes it sound like a violent pimp, but you get my drift. No? OK: Poker is awesome.
Mind you, I’m not great at the suspense side of it. I get all screechy when I’ve gone all in (chucked all your chips away) and are awaiting the river card (the last one they flip over and the American commentator of late-night Channel 4 poker shows calls out “Holy Yowza! If that ain’t the darnedest 3 hole strip-lined dandy river I ever saw!”…or something). I can’t bloody stand it!
It’s odd. I’m fine with scary films. I’m a picture of serenity with any real-life danger. Even sporting pressure is OK, (I played rugby for many a year until I got ill…and shit at it). But in the context of a game? I really am useless.
I’ve been known to stand up and shout: “WILL YOU FRIGGING HURRY UP AND TURN OVER THE CARDS YOU DIRTY ASSSSSHOOOOOLEEEE” at the poor, defenceless dealer! Well I say “defenceless”. I was escorted out of the casino by a burly security guy…who was wearing the same uniform as the croupiers. I hope he wasn’t a croupier…anyway, as per usual, I digress.
Come to think of it, I’m rubbish in other suspense-filled games.
Jenga? Jesus wept; I’m a nervous wreck… The thought of being responsible for a whole structure just tumbling down brings me out in hives! I stay clear of any game that even looks like it’s primarily made from wood now.
Buckaroo. It’s the bastard’s face. He looks so stressed! There is nothing worse than staring at an angry donkey carrying random objects.
Kerplunk? Fuck off.
So, by all means play me at Scrabble. Or Monopoly. Cluedo (or Clue to you Yanks) is a bit of a grey area. Hmmm. Better stick to I spy.

Tilt-shift photography is a style of photography in which the camera is manipulated so that a life-sized location or subject looks like a miniature-scale model. This video ‘The Sandpit’ made by Sam O’Hare is a combination of tilt-shift photography and timelapse. It’s made up of thousands of still photographs, he captures NYC and shrinks it to the size of a model village.

To achieve this miniature effect to your photographs, it’s best to shoot subjects from a high angle (especially from the air). It creates the illusion of looking down at a miniature model. A camera equipped with a tilt-shift lens, which simulates a shallow depth of field, is essentially all you need to start. Or you could cheat and do it in post.
We’ve all thought about what people will be wearing in the future. Admit it. You have really. It’s something high school textile students do by default, it’s human nature. So it’s no suprise to discover that people in the 1930’s did exactly the same thing and luckily this clip from ITN shows some of their thoughts.

‘Silly’ could describe some of the outfits but they’re more likely to be described as ‘Scarily Accurate’. Their predictions include mesh dresses, upside down heels, zippered skirts and men would carry radios and phones and might not ever get married!
It’s safe to say that those trend forecasters were ‘ahead of their time’. See what I did there? Nevermind, watch the video.

Flicker featured photographer floridapfe who works at a zoo in South Korea. He has the opportunity to photograph all sorts of cute little baby animals which you can see more of by doing a tag search for baby on his photostream.
Right you lovely dirty and occasionally American readers! These are the funniest clips on the internet! I did not include clips from TV shows or footage of real-life funny stuff…so maybe not the funniest clips per-se, just the funniest devised pieces. Happy? You frigging will be. Oh and Rick roll’d, Charlie’s finger biting and other faddish clips and memes like that can just curl up somewhere and die. OK here we go!

**PLUG ALERT**
Now, please take a look at my own YouTubey clipettes. They are made with my sketch group Le 122. They don’t make my top 10…so, that says it all really. Gonna plug it anyway. Right, pint?
He won’t go away; DONOVAN. The unforgiving, cynical, potty mouthed “agony uncle”. We tried to sack him in the wake of the D*nny Dy*r Zoo Column scandal but when we brought the matter up with DONOVAN he threated to break our hearts. Apparently he got the idea from a certain advice column.

Dear DONOVAN
What’s the meaning of life?
Dan, Swansea
Oh hahaha…that was funny wasn’t it boys and girls?
You probably assumed it was most likely gonna be a one line answer both witty and blunt, or that it would have made me roll my eyes and ignore it but no! As I have a fairly good idea who this “Dan” is from my home town Swansea I shall treat you the same as every Frost reader… with a slightly personal and spitefully childish sting!
You aren’t entitled to that knowledge as God (or any denomination-specific deity – Ed) and everyone else think your a complete and utter waste of sperm. You stink of beef and have not only patronising eyebrows, but arrogant skin!
Possibly the kind of person who I assume Picasso was; dyslexic and painted by numbers! To say you had the social skills of an Aardvark adopted buy a family of dung beetles would be disrespectful to both the Aardvark, dung beetle’s mother and woodlice stepfather!
The meaning of life is a circle…you have no proof to prove me wrong.
Get a grip on life and let the realisation kick in that I don’t want your friendship. If you have to pester someone to be friends and stalk them, buy them gifts etc…it’s only fine if your a Blond 19 year old girl with huge breasts! You’re not.
So to just to clarify and sum up.
(For you) the meaning of life mean….
A broken condom.
oooooh I went there.
