New ways to get creative.

Recently I was able to try out a new photography tool. This tool is great for getting creative and the possibilities seem endless. The tool is called the Pixelstick, barley on the market but will be fully very soon. Was recently part of a kick starter program to secure funding to help bring this invention to market. The founders Bitbangerlabs was hoping to receive $110000.00 in support to help bring this tool to market. What they did get was a flooding of interested people and received $628,417.00 well over there hopped amount. In the proceeding months they worked on getting some select companies to manufacture the product they designed. The manufacturing was built from their working prototype.
         This Pixelstick will take your light painting to a whole new level. You can have it broadcast simple patterns or you can even have it display a .bmp file 1 pixel line at a tie to broadcast full characters or words from within your images. When I gave this tool a test run I didn't have any .bmp files with my to use that feature but I have seen some images from others to know that the possibilities are endless on what you can create. You can really do some out of the box thinking with portraits, product photography, or just simple abstract images. You can purchase your own for $325 currently but there is no confirmed date they will start shipping late orders since they have to fulfill all there backers orders first. I know I will be purchasing my own I hope very soon. If your looking to get creative with your photography then I would look into getting one for yourself.
