So here's how I made my screen transparent for my last submission to the Transparent Screens group. I'll refer to the photos as being numbered clockwise:
1 2
4 3
First, I took photo 2 (ignore the windows and the grid for now). Actually, I took about four or five shots and chose the best one.
Second, I removed some of the bottles, introduced the monitor, and took photo 1 (again, ignore the grid for now, and again, I actually took multiple and chose the best).
Then, I opened these two photos in my photo editing tool and put each one in a layer, photo 1 on top of photo 2. I did a slight bit of rotating and moving to get the backgrounds to line up. If I had a tripod, of course, they would have lined up automatically.
Now look at the windows and the grid in photo 1. GIMP has this great tool called "perspective transformation" that's perfect for this job; I lined up the rectangle onto the screen surface.
Next I switched to the other layer; see photo 2. The grid is still there, and now covers the area of the image I need to pull out. I set the transformation tool to "corrective," which causes this area to get stretched flat into a rectangular image.
I took this flattened image and made it the background of the monitor in photo 1. Then I had to tweak the cropping to get it right, and I had to do some colour correction. That was probably the most painful part of the whole process. The final desktop image is shown in photo 3.
Photo 4 shows the final setup. I moved the bottles on the left out of the way, and took the final shot from the original angle. Voila!
Where do the images come from in a stereographic projection? here is the answer.
This is a ripoff of manu's image, with gadl's comment included.

I propped a curved piece of printer paper up against some cardboard. I positioned the setup so my flash was on one side and a mirror was on the other. That’s it! The flash is a cheapo Yongnuo triggered remotely. The stand and umbrella are also just the cheapest things on Amazon. My whole strobist kit cost less than $150 and I certainly didn’t buy it for this one photo.
The makeup vanity just happened to be a convenient place — I could have used any horizontal surface near a mirror. I saw a bunch of tutorials for lightboxes that involved multiple lights, all sorts of materials like plexiglass with white cloth. Not necessary!
Gather the supplies. The most difficult thing to find is a piece of plastic or plexiglass. You want a non-porous surface for your plate. You could use glass, but I don't like to mess with it.
UPDATE: You can use unflavoured gelatin to make a plate, instead of plexiglass or plastic [link].
Fold the paper and trace the bottom half of the hexagon template along the fold, as shown. Be sure the two side points line up with the fold.
Ta-dah! You've just made a really fab corner! :D
The best things about doing corners like this is that they're strong because you don't have to clip the seam allowances at all, and the corner is always nice and sharp.

I finally found a good solution for full zoom shots without having to lug around a heavy tripod. This adjustable monopod walking stick is just what I needed. I do a double-wrap of the camera strap just in case I get clumsy. I have the best luck holding steady for those long shots by adjusting the height to chest level. That way, I can tuck my elbows in tight to my sides for added stability.
Step 1: Choose a small pot with a fitting lid and place on the stove top.
Step 2: Place 1 Cup of Rice in the pot.
Step 3: Add 1/2 teaspoon of Salt.
Step 4: Place 2 Cups of Water in the pot.
Step 5: Turn burner onto highest setting.
Step 6: Bring to a boil.
Step 7: Boil Rice for about 5 minutes, or until the water has reduced and there are only small foaming bubbles on the top of the Rice.
Step 8: Reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Step 9: After about 5 minutes of cooking, lift lid to check. You should not hear any frying or crackling noises. If you do, add about 2 Tablespoons of water.
Step 10: To check the status of the Rice, instert a spoon until it touches the bottom of the pot.
Step 11: Pull out the spoon, some rice will stick to it, and taste the rice. Depending on the type of rice (long grain, short grain, bastmati, etc.), the rice will either be half way done or only a few minutes away from completion.
Step 12: Re-cover the pot and check every 2-4 minutes for desired done-ness. The Rice should cook on low for 7-15 minutes total depending onthe type of Rice you are cooking.
Step 13: Repeat steps 10 and 11 to check for done-ness. The longer you let the Rice cook, the stickier it should get.
Step 14: Fluff the Rice by stiring it with a spoon. The Rice can be eaten right away or be incorporated into another dish.
This recipe makes 3 1-Cup Servings.

That is just how I do it, it's an alternative method to do it. Actually I don't use to avoid the "blip" of color that often.

I like to whipstitch my my binding/back-side hexagon (in blue) to the quilt top hexagons (in white) in two phases: (1) sew along all the blue & white hexagons with white thread, and (2) attach the blue hexagons to each other with blue thread. I place a blue hexagon on top of a front-side hexagon (white) with the right sides facing. And then use a whipstitch to attach the blue hexagon to the white hexagon. I pick up another blue hexagon, and do the same. In this way, you'll have a bunch of blue hexagons attached to the white hexagons, but then they won't be connected to each other. Then, I use some blue thread to whipstitch the touching blue edges together, making sure to reinforce the corners where the four hexagons meet.
Sometimes I have to take out a hexagon's paper and undo its basting to reshape it to fit its neighbor hexagon. If you're using hand-made hexagon templates, you might have to do the same!
It's important to notice that this process is slightly different from piecing a hexagon quilt as you want the blue hexagons to overlap exactly with the white hexagons on which they're placed.
1.Download your lol from ichc
a.On www.icanhascheezburger.com go to your lol's page (eg. this one is mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=3948250)
b.Highlight the title of the lol (the text above it) and copy it
(you don't have to do this - I just find it makes it easier to title the lol in flickr – we're doing it here so we can easily use the title as the filename)
c.Right click on the lol pic
d.Choose [Save Image As...] from resulting drop down menu
e.In the Save Image window that pops up, choose the directory on your computer you want to save the lol to
f.Paste the title of the lol in the filename field
g.Click [Save]
h.Repeat for all the lols you want on flickr
i.Your lol is saved on your computer!
1a. An alternative way to save your lol
If you've screencapture software (eg. MW Snap) you could capture the lol and details underneath it to fully credit loller and picture - see stilskweekz (peregrin)'s example here.
2.Log on to www.flickr.com
a.Log on to www.flickr.com (whole other story to join - lemme know if you want a how-to for that!)
3.Upload your lol
a.There's a series of links at the top of the page - [home] [you] [organise] etc - select [You]
b.Select [Upload Photos and Videos] from the pulldown menu
c.I've had a couple of different pages come up in response but they're all similar
d.This bit should be straightforward, but just in case ... Click on [Choose Photos and Videos]
e.Go to the directory you saved the lol(s) in
f.In the resulting Select Files etc window you can select just one file at a time or, if you've several in the same directory you can select individual ones using [Ctrl] or a block using [Shift] when you click on the lol
g.Click on [Open]
h.Your lol or list of lols should be shown on the flickr page
i.Set the privacy using the toggle buttons
j.Click on [Upload Photos and Videos]
k.You'll now get options to add titles, tags, etc. or you might have to click on a [description] button (it varies when I visit it!)
l.When you're done click the Save button
m.Now your lols are added to flickr!
4.Add you lol to a pool
a.If you look at the individual lols you've just added (go to [You]/[Your Photostream] and click on the lol) you'll see they have options directly above them - [Add Note] [Send to Group] [Add to Set] etc. Select [Send to Group] and you'll get a pulldown menu of the groups you're a member of.
b.Select the group/pool you want to add your lol to.
c.You're done!
If you're going to be uploading a lot of pics onto flickr you might like to try their uploading software – it lets you set up descriptions, titles and tags on your own computer before you upload. I find it very useful. www.flickr.com/photos/upload/basic/
Note: you need to be a member of a group/pool to add lols/pics to it.
I use the lol title for the flickr title and add 'by muriell' for mine, or credit who did the lol if it wasn't me.
Tags: I use 'ichc' for everything from ichc and the name of the loller. If you want to use a tag with more than one word, eg. 'animal rights' you need to put quotes around it. Tags make it easier for other people to find pics they're interested in so it's good manners to add tags.
Description: I try and credit whoever took or uploaded the picture in the description - apart from that it's up to you!
Think that's it. Please feel free to add any clarfications - or ask for them - below.
Hope this halps!!
Kthxbye.
The most frequently asked question - How to choose a front door color? There is no single answer, but in our article, we tried to elucidate all nuances of choice!

Cut little diamonds out of the center of the paper hexagons. You'll need to place a pin through the holes, but don't make the diamonds too large.
Keep making more paper hexagons by following steps 2-5. You can always make more if you run out.
Now superglue the tab in place. Use lots of superglue! This is the second non-reversible step. If you accidentally move the tab a bit, you should still be able to fix it. If not, don't panic, you can fix it in software later.
[STEP 2]
Note where the forks will fit into the tab inside the holes in your 35mm canister. The forks need to be sufficiently long to catch that.
Well, actually, they don't need to be that long, but it helps later on.
Now you can flip the blue hexagons right-side-out, so they fold underneath the quilt top and over the batting and backing.
The BristleBot is a vibrobot with an agenda.
It's built with a vibrating pager motor and the busines end of a toothbrush that has slanted bristles.
If you're using a 2-inch hexagon, you should cut ~3-inch squares of fabric. (If you're using a different size hexagon, just add an inch to the height, and cut that size of square fabric).
You could cut the squares into hexagons at this point, but it's just easier to leave them as squares.
Connect the servo to your microcontroller (here an Arduino) and tell it to move to position 0 (i.e., a pulse width of 1500µs). The gears should start spinning, unless it was previously at 0.
Using tweezers, move the potentiometer tab until the gears completely stop moving. Be as accurate as possible, though you can compensate for it not being dead centre in software later.

Tap a sharp knife firmly, once, right into the pit, and twist it out. Avo must be ripe for this to work.
