A photo compilation of days bygone, good old days when 4×4 or green laning in Malta or Gozo wasn’t such a controversial environmental hot issue or a political pawn topic.

The Brinno TLC200 Pro HDR Time Lapse Video Camera
Brinno has a solution for capturing time lapse video with its TLC200 Pro, an interchangeable lens camera capable of recording a wide range of frame rates to create High Dynamic Range (HDR) time lapse video. The fact that the TLC200 Pro offers HDR photography is a big deal for anyone familiar with doing time lapse video in an outdoor setting. As individual exposures are set over a wide span of time, chances are there will be great variances within the camera’s exposure as the sun moves throughout the day and weather patterns effect the sunlight as well. HDR imagery allows the videographer to have a greater latitude in maintaining a consistent exposure throughout the video clip.

An elk glommed on to a photographer who was documenting the animals at sunrise on an otherwise beautiful fall day in the Cataloochee Valley of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. Instead of smiling for the camera, the elk repeatedly headbutts the photographer as he’s sitting on the side of the road before a ranger rescues him in this clip uploaded to YouTube on Nov. 12 by another photographer Vince M. Camiolo.

If you have any familiarity with today’s computer systems then you were at least somewhat disappointed that neither the Xbox One nor the PlayStation 4 shipped with an SSD. Each system opted for a mechanical hard drive, which brings sufficient storage and affordability to the consoles, even if that meant forsaking the speed and inevitability of the SSD. The good news is that PS4 owners will be able to quickly — and easily — swap out their 500GB 2.5-inch hard drive and replace it either with a larger model or a solid-state drive.
