A photographer is standing in front of the wall below The National Gallery in London with his camera with a long lens on a tripod. It's a sunny day and his shadow, and that of his equipment, is made wider by the sun's angle. The shadow of the camera lens looks considerably longer extending almost three feet across the shadow of a nearby lamp post. As a result, it almost looks like the shadow of a sniper's gun.

Why Do You Get Sick in the Winter? New Science Points Up Your Nose
New research appears to provide a clearer picture of why cold and flu cases are more common during the winter. The study found evidence that our nose’s innate immune response weakens in colder temperatures, providing some germs a better opportunity to infect the rest of the body.
If there was a competition to create headlines with double meanings Gizmodo would be points up.

Do not fall for this dangerous Amazon shopping scam
"Like a dog spotting a squirrel, I can't help but notice when a fresh text pops up on my iPhone. The little gray notification catches my eye and I'm instantly pulled away from the task at hand. Plus, this one looked important. It was, but only because it helped me identify a very dangerous and pernicious, Amazon shopping scam."

5 Steps To Make A Living From Photographing Elopements
Ten years ago, if you heard the word elopement, your thoughts might first go to images of a shotgun wedding in Las Vegas (or Gretna Green if you’re from the UK). These elopements would be typically short and sweet, no fuss, and over within an hour.
