Playing around with a sequence shot on a fully manual camera with no film winder... sure, there's easier ways to do it, but that's not the point.

June 17, 2015 - WASHINGTON DC - "Triggering Behavior Change: Children's Role in Development". The World Bank and Sesame Workshop are educating boys and girls about safe access to water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as better health and nutrition.

 

Sesame Street is the world's largest informal educator of children, reaching 156 million children in over 150 countries. The panelists will discuss the importance of behavior change, particularly the role children can play as agents of change.

I made myself six optical slaves. I was tired of forgetting to turn off the power on my ebay triggers when I was done with them. I keep draining the batteries. So I decided I needed some optical triggers that were powered by the flash trigger voltage. These are designed to be used for low voltage low trigger voltage flashes. I have a Canon 420EZ that only has a trigger voltage of 4 volts and these work fine with it.

 

The case is a RJ11 cable joiner. I pulled out the guts and machined out the rest of the plastic. I then took some viewfinder lens assemblies for one time use cameras and machined the lens to match the window I made in the housing.

 

The electronic assembly was soldered together in point to point fashion.

 

I added a 1/8" mini jack as an output for longer cable use or as a input for a ebay trigger receiver. I can trigger the flash with the receiver and use the connected optical slave as a backup trigger in case the radio trigger didn't get the signal (as long as there was another flash that did fire).

Still pretty scuffed, but I'll work on polishing it and making it pretty later

Middle button will be the trigger for firing effects. The switches on the left and right will control on/off and semi/auto fire

Press this trigger and POOF! the tripod disappears. (Well, almost: you can still see it if you look carefully.)

1 hour and 8 minutes until the launch of STS-124... I'm getting a little nervous here :)

 

So I built this little project for a friend. The idea is to take photos of a shuttle launch at down at Cape Canaveral. He has been doing this for a long time now... the routine goes like this: Accredited photographers are admitted to dedicated sites very close to the launch pad a day or two before the launch. But you have to leave your cameras there, armed and ready to start shooting on their own when the launch happens. And you can't use a clock, because the actual launch time gets moved around all the time....

 

He previously used a simple box that would trigger the cameras based on a microphone picking up the roar from the shuttle engines. But that way you loose a few seconds, the time it takes the sound to travel.

 

So our new idea was to use seismic sensors (geophones) to pick up the vibration and trigger the cameras sooner and hopefully more reliably!

 

My little system here (based on the extremely cool Arduino microcontroller) picks up the signal from the geophone, which you just stick into the ground, and amplifies it. When the signal reaches a certain threshold, two cameras (a Nikon and a Hasselblad) will be triggered to shoot photos for as long as the rumbling goes on... or until they've shot their entire roll of film, whichever happens first.

 

The problem is that there was no way to calibrate the system... we don't know how strong the seismic signal will be. That means, our setup could either: do nothing... or shoot 36 images of the shuttle sitting on its pad, because an alligator was walking by (yes, they do that).... *keeping my fingers crossed*

A low part count audio flash trigger, based on an mbed LPC2368. A similar design can be used for a light gate based trigger, using an LDR and a laser.
