Alpine Labs have returned to Kickstarter for the launch of the Radian 2 their second-generation motion time-lapse device. The original Radian enabled users to create still, panning, and tilting shots. The Radian 2 adds Bluetooth wireless connectivity so users can control camera settings from iOS and Android devices on the fly as well as a linear adapter to use both the original Radian and Radian 2 for linear motion. After connecting an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth to the Radian 2, the USB connection from the Radian 2 to the camera passes commands to the camera to enable users to adjust aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings without touching the camera or the device. The platform is modular and enables you to add Radians as your ambition (and budget) grows – you can now program up to three synchronized Radians at once to seamlessly combine panning, tilting and sliding. If the stretch goal for the Kickstarter campaign is reached, Alpine Labs aims to add functionality to the app that allow you to compile a preview of the time-lapse on your phone as the lapse is being shot. The company plans to deliver all Kickstarter units during October 2015.

Drivers in the 1980s by Chris Dorley-Brown is a new title from Hoxton Mini Press. On a hot morning in Hackney, 1987, photographer Chris Dorley-Brown set out to record the privitisation of Rolls Royce in the city. En-route he became fascinated by the faces of frustration and boredom from drivers on the gridlocked roads triggered by the sell-off. Almost 30 years later, these seemingly mundane portraits, published for the first time, capture a unique period in Britain’s history. The colours, the haircuts, the clothes and expressions recall a particular time and mood from Thatcher’s Britain. Each photo is accompanied by a description of the cars, many of which are now iconic: the Ford Capri, Cortina Mk 4, Mini Metro, the Ford Sierra. This is a humorous and unusual snapshot of a unique period in Britain’s history. The standard hardback edition is available for £12.95, whilst a Collector's Edition, signed by the photographer, can be yours for £45.
