Here I have it running a simple VU meter script. It's not intended to run with anything plugged into the outputs, just to blink the LEDs.
First you see the contact mic I made. It's just a peizo disc with a 500M resistor soldered across it, along with the ground and signal wires of the headphone cable. I sandwiched it between two pieces of gaffer's tape and then trimmed it down.
Next you see the strobe controller itself. See this picture of it for more details.
As you can see, the contact mic is very sensitive, easily picking up even the slightest tap halfway across the table. This is perfect for picking up things like droplets splashing.
Finally, you get a glimpse at the desktop app. See this picture for more detail.
I'll do a proper writeup on my website when I'm closer to being truly done.

Taken with the lo-fi lens (see writeup in my Lo-fi lens set), single element on bellows. Odd how it keeps fairly sharp detail in the centre but cloaks it in this amazing bloom and haze.
This Blackbird set a speed record on its final flight to the Smithsonian, taking just over an hour from Los Angeles to Dulles. The Smithsonian site has a nice writeup (book excerpt) about the Blackbird program and this plane in particular.

Lightscape 2022
An image from the Lightscape Event held at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Australia. Photo editing in Lightroom before being processed in topaz Denoise AI and Topaz Sharpen AI. Captured on 6/08/2022 10:11:49 PM with a Sony ILCE-7RM4 and E 28-75mm F2.8-2.8 @ 28 mm, 1/30 sec at ƒ / 2.8, ISO 12800. More photos and a full writeup at trav.to/ls2022

This statue is located in Bailey Park on the east side of town and faces 22nd Ave (US79/70A). The monument which honors CSA soldiers from Gibson County was built by the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. It was carved by J.J. Snyder of Eclipse Marble Works in 1914. The statue was originally located along Main St. but later moved here.
Here is the Smithsonian writeup of the statue:
Figure of a Confederate soldier standing at parade rest. He wears a uniform consisting of a hip-length coat, trousers, boots, and a brimmed hat. The bearded figure holds the barrel of a rifle with both hands. The butt of the rifle rests in front of his proper right foot. His proper left foot is slightly forward and bent at the knee. The tiered granite base includes four columns around a central block of granite.
Topic: Make a photograph using wide focal length (sic! - Remek). Zoom or prime or iPhone cameras all qualify for going wide today.
Please take a moment to view large on Black. Thanks!
Imagine that... that's my old analog Canon P&S, SureShot Z70w I just found cleaning up my 10 year old pile of junk :) It was a funny little P&S, and I do remember I was quite pleased with its capabilities, especially the shallow DOF at longer focal lengths--perfect for portraiture. And it's attached to my new tripod with a ball head, the set guaranteed to support the load of 7kg (~14lb).
It was an excuse to show that while wide angle (not wide length, there is no such thing as "wide length") generally gives you sharp image almost from anywhere to infinity, it can still mean shallow DOF, if your lens (its maximum aperture) and distance to the subject allows it.
I owe you strobist information: it's a mixed light shot (that's one of the reasons behind it being B&W) . The ceiling lamp casts very orange light, and it would be very difficult to match it with any gel. There is a strobe, SB900, zoomed to 200mm, manual power setting 1/32, camera left, bare, aimed at the P&S camera. It also produced this nice even shadow of the lamp on the ceiling (looks almost like a gigantic lens flare.) The remote flash was triggered by the controller in the camera flash, which did not provide any light to the scene.
And, to complete the writeup, postprocessing info: I started with the creamtone Lightroom 3 setting, but it just blew all the highlights off the chart. I consequently decreased the exposure by -1.66 stops, and increased brightness a little and contrast a bigger little (+30). I bumped up clarity to +65. Exported as JPEG with quality 65%. BTW, this JPEG is 500kB. "JPEG fine" from the camera would be probably close to 3MB... Lightroom is amazing.

... I used to have a list of every concert I've ever been to at www.acm.vt.edu/~clint/media/concerts.htm ... but a jerk named John Edstrom (from Virginia Tech) decided to delete everyone's shell accounts, even those who had been using our Virginia Tech ACM accounts for 15 years.
SunBody Hats!. . Glad you are accepting pictures of people in their SunBody hats for the 2015 "How do you SunBody?" Contest. I would like to enter this picture (attached) and the writeup below. . . This is a picture of me in your 4 Inch Brim, Low Crown Cattleman, Guatemalan Palm Hat. This was a retirement gift to me from one of my former PhD students, who at the time was on the staff at Texas A&M. This picture was taken in Brescia Province, Lombardy Region of Italy. I’m in a corn field that is showing damage from larval feeding of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera. I have been advising the members of a farmer consortium in Brescia Province on ways to manage this insect, which is a native North America insect and was first found in Europe in Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia) in 1992 and has since spread across Europe. I’m an Emeritus Professor, College of Agriculture, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. I grew up in Lubbock and graduated from Texas Tech University before going to the College of Agriculture, Iowa State University for my MS and PhD degrees. My Great Great Great Great Uncle is Davy Crockett and my Great Grandfather, Henry Clay (Hank) Smith (www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fsm24), was the first settler in Crosby County in the South Plains of Texas. I have really enjoyed my SunBody hat and it gets better every year. I also have a Golden Gus and love its unique style and feel. I have a picture of my Grandfather wearing a similar styled hat to my Gus, but in felt, on his ranch in New Mexico in the 1920’s. I love the look! Thanks for making such great quality and functional hats! They’re the best!. . Once a Texan, Always a Texan!. . Best regards,. C. Richard Edwards, PhD, BCE, FRES

Amid the 5/20/13 "Flickrpocalypse", I forgot to do a writeup on my third one-that-I'm-keeping SX-70 (I've owned seven, total) that I got a few days beforehand...
DOB: 8/10/76
This variant of the SX-70 has the original chassis (without the tripod or neckstrap mounts of the 1978-released Alpha 1's), but has the split-circle rangefinder, distance numbers on the lens, and newer silver plastic that doesn't have the "brushed steel" look of the very-first model. It's pretty mint and came with the nice-but-clumsy Eveready leather case that opens-up with the camera (I never use them that way, though; I fear I'm going to break the viewfinder "blinds" when I open it because it sometimes snags.)
This one was a gift from a lady that used to work in the snackbar at work, it belonged to her grandfather. She brought it in for me to identify and see if it would work (oh yes it did), and a few months later ended up giving it to me when she went off to school (thanks!).

Quote by Louise Bogan
On one of the busiest roads of Pune, India, the Bund Garden Road, I saw this chap hurrying with a teabag in one hand and cups on the other. Just when I was telling myself that due to his speed I missed shooting him, he seemed to have noticed a camera pointed at him. He stopped immediately and turned back, striking this pose; and he was cheerful in doing so, making everyone around smile on a dull and boring evening :) Once I was done shooting, he gave me a thumbs up (and a broad smile) and returned back to his scurrying.
I dunno if this is a good photo, I know it's a little blurred too; nevertheless, I wanted to post it for this great lad who had the courtesy enough to respect others, even when he was busy with his own chores.
[Full writeup here.]
The original plungercam that I built earlier this year has been an absolute joy to use. However, the original design has a couple of problems.
1) The mounting mechanism to attach it to the camera uses a plastic body cap, which was never designed to hold much weight. As a result, the teeth on the cap have been slowly disintegrating under the weight (see inset, above). Mounting the lens has now become pretty unreliable.
2) Usage - there is a lot of fun to by forcing the user to tweak the focus by hand, and means that there is zero repeatability - no two plungercam shots will ever be the same. However, this means that it is unusable for time-lapse video applications, where it is important to keep the lens in the same place between shots.
The next few images will go through the construction of the dead simple Plungercam 2, which addresses the above two issues.
