6 Strange Cameras from Mental Floss

While this blog is mainly devoted to the images I've experienced and created over the years, every once in a while something comes through the internet, photographically-related, that just begs sharing. 

This blog post from the folks at Mental Floss highlights 6 improbable and unique cameras.  Some of them are just bizarre (the skull immediately comes to mind), but some of them present some interesting ideas. 

The one attached to a gun stock seems actually quite practical.  Imagine the stability you'd get from pinning the camera-gun stock to your shoulder rather than trying to hold it up to your face?  As most riflers can attest to, with good breathing and practice, you can get very low vibrations, which would translate into longer permissible shutter speeds.  Who needs VR?
