the third incarnation of the pinholga's shutter. i got the idea of using a floppy disk from found photograph's this blog entry. this one is customized for the holga though. it was much easier and faster to make than the last version:
1. cut off the part of the disk that has the spring-loaded protector. the disk i got had some soft paper coating inside which i removed as well.
2. make a small cut here and bend the corner up to make a small "handle" that can be used to push the floppy door open. i glued a little piece of foam there to make it less slippery for the cable release.
3. i decided to enlarge the opening as much as possible. i just used a pocket knife to cut away some of the plastic that's blocking part of the opening. this may not be necessary if you decide the existing opening is wide enough for your setup.
4. mount the shutter to the camera. i taped strips of the foam which's self-adhesive on one side, to the edges of the disk so it leaves some room to let the shutter slide open and close. then i just taped the whole thing onto the camera. i added the foam piece on top to block any light that might get to the pinhole when the shutter is closed.
5. you can use the shutter the way it is by just sliding the protector open with your hand, but i decided to use a cable release. i had some ideas about mounting it but in the end i just taped it onto the shutter. we'll see if it lasts or not.
Um amigo me passou a idéia e pediu que eu ilustrasse. Bom, vamos ver no que dá haha.
Em breve em votação por aí.
was just finishing up taking a few shots in the snow when suddenly a light appeared in the sky overhead ,these guys beamed down from the disk like something from star trek and started pulling shapes not seen since the 70's disco days.....i guess their home planet must be some kind of boogie wonderland
I wish I could say I thought of this, but I didn't. I saw one 'somewhere' on-line ages ago, but I don't know where? So if this was your idea, Thank you, it inspired me. Pen Pot/Holder I made for my husband from old floppy disks. TFL.
This is a floppy disk, mainly used for computers and laptops. A floppy disk is a removable magnietic storage medium and was mainly used to store text documents.
“Carry On Collecting” is a project set up by the Museum of Hartlepool to collect objects which represent everyday life in the town and beyond, from the 1950s through to the present day. The collection also attempts to represent the diversity of the people of Hartlepool over the past 60 years
you can see the padding disks if you look large, one of Izzy's had fractured and squeezed the spinal cord, having her lose sensation in her legs to where she could not stand or walk, she was just dragging her rear end on the floor. She had what they call deep tissue pain sensation in her rear paws when squeezed hard, she had to have surgery within 24 hours, for an 85% chance at some recovery. So 2 weeks post op now, she had her stitches removed and she is able to walk and even run, but still confined to full rest for the next 2 weeks.
I saw her MRI and I could see how her spinal cord was squeezed very small by the fractured disk...
it takes 4 weeks for the disk to heal and develop scar tissue to where it won't fracture again easily. In that period Izzy has to be kept quiet, relatively motionless, if possible confined to a crate... but, Izzy was never crate trained, she absolutely hates being in there and barks and cries the whole time... she is happiest, curled up in bed under the covers... she even started lying on her back under the covers, snoring... hopefully happier days ahead once again....
please see large...
My friend Mike is reattaching the disk to an antique homemade scanning disk TV. Later the motor was rewired by volunteer Adam and we got it going and displaying an image placed in front of the light source. Next an electronic interface will be built so we can transmit TV signals to the unit. The disk was made by National Radio. New England Wireless and Steam Museum, East Greenwich, RI.
Proposal 12514-Imaging of Newly-identified Edge-on Protoplanetary Disks in Nearby Star-Forming Regions.
This is a protoplanetary nebula in the constellation Chamaeleon. I couldn't find any more info on it than that. I think a paper has yet to be released.

Inspired by the tarot, which I have studied for well over a decade. The two of disks represents finding balance withing chaos, finding your center deep within and being able to keep all the plates spinning in your life with grace.
Hard disk packs and cartridges in different sizes:
- 14" Disk pack is a removable cartridge with hard-drive platters used in 60s and 70s for storage of first IBM computers. This one has 5 hard-disk platters and capacity 80 MB. The platters were hidden in the protection cover (blue-transparent case).
- 14" Hard disk cartridge with single platter and capacity usually from 1 to 5 MB. The case had only a small opening in the front for magnetic head and it was not possible to remove platter from protection case.
- 8" Hard disk cartridge is a smaller version of previous one and offers more capacity (e.g. 25 MB)
- 5,25" and 3,5" HD cartridges were produced in 80s and 90s and they offered significantly more storage space for data (hundreds MB or even many GB). At the end of 90s e.g. JAZ from Iomega or SpartQ from SyQuest were very popular.
