British Photographer Uses RED Camera to Capture Kids Playing Video Games

British Photographer Robbie Cooper used his RED camera to illustrate that look of total concentration kids tend to get when they are playing an engrossing video game. Adults make faces too, but kids are more photogenic.
Robbie photographed the kids as they played games such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Call of Duty 4. He placed his camera behind a pane of glass so the kids wouldn’t be self-conscious about the giant hunk of RED goodness pointed right at them.
Below are more photos from Cooper’s set. No word on if he plans to do a "People staring into their laptops" collection:



Hubble Space Telescope Returns – Scientists Plan Extensive Fix in April

The Hubble Telescope, which was nearly lost this month due to old age and a faulty board, has resumed regular operations today. It has since sent back some photographs, including the gorgeous one above of a pair of galaxies. A mission to replace the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling unit(SIC&DH), the system with the faulty board, is planned for April of next year. Until then, Hubble will be sending images using backup systems.
The replacement SIC&DH will undergo extensive testing starting in mid-December. Unfortunately, it is being constructed out of the same hardware as the old version that has been giving scientists such trouble.
