Leica O-Series The most expensive camera on the planet was a 1923 Leica O- Series camera after it was sold for approximately $2.79 million at a WestLicht auction. Which is your best side? Your left? A study by Kelsey Blackburn and James Schriillo from Wake Forest University found that the left side of peoples' faces are perceived and rates as more aesthetically pleasing than the right. They theorise that this is due to the fact that we perhaps present a greater intensity of emotion on the left side of our faces. Perhaps this is something you should consider when you take your portrait photographs!

These used to be very dangerous and poisonous chemicals which, if consumed, could also lead to death.
