The man behind some of the internet's most inventive camera
tricks is at it again, this time with Triggertrap. While you
can't buy it yet, you can back it on Kickstarter if you like the
sound of it.  So what it is? It's basically an Arduino-based
trigger-box for any camera model, that can fire a few photos off
depending on how you program it. So as the video above explains,
if you clap your hands or open a fridge door, that could be the
command for the camera's shutter release.  Creators Ziah Fogel
and Haje Jan Kamps have a few more ideas for how it could be
used, too:  LASER - someone breaks a laser-beam, the camera
takes a picture. SOUND - clap your hands, take a picture. Great
for hands-free photography in the studio TIME - Time lapse
photography in the palm of your hand. EVERYTHING - If the above
options don't float your boat, there's an Aux port. If you can
find a way of connecting it, you can use it to take photos. The
possibilities are as exciting as they are endless.  They're
