I’ve been trying to get this video finished and uploaded for a couple of days now, and just tonight I had finished it off but, before I had even uploaded it, obtained even more clips that really should have been added. Instead, they’ll be along within a few days – otherwise I’ll never catch up. And yes, this is more backyard pond video.
This is to note that I added the mounting
It took me a couple of days to get to it, but I managed to sit down and design the flashlight mount for the cheap little camcorder mount/stabilizer, and then get it printed on the trusty 3D printer. I designed it in six parts, mostly so the height/angle of the flashlight beam could be adjusted to match the center of the camcorder’s field of view.
The shocking part? Everything
A rather lackluster find this week, but also the beginnings of a project that might provide for more interesting stuff later on. Otherwise, you’ve seen the recent worthwhile pics, or will in a post soon to follow – they’re all the same subjects I’ve been finding recently anyway.
With the rains came a lot more noisemakers outside, different ones at different hours of the day,
The pursuit of the ideal softbox for flash macro photography has been going on for a while now, with many iterations, and now we have another. The last version took advantage of being able to hash out and 3D-print a design more optimized for the purpose, because I now could, but I realized after a
A few weeks back, we installed a new light fixture by the front walk, mounted to a 4×4 post. Going to the local Lowes Home Improvement store to get a cap for it was utterly pointless, despite the fact that they listed 15 of them in stock – the store has repeatedly proven to be grossly incompetent, and unfortunately it’s the only place for such materials within 30 kilometers. This
A couple weekends back, The Girlfriend and I were checking out thrift stores in another town and came across a nice little wood duck figurine, fully painted. It became clear that the proprietor wanted much more for it than we were willing to pay, but it got me mildly determined, and of course when you have a 3D printer you have to check out the options. Sure enough, someone named
We’re once more into the nonsense blog trivia that would interest, oh, perhaps 1.29% of the population, but you did catch the ‘blog’ part, right? Good.
Today marks the 57th anniversary of the first flight of the Northrop HL-10 lifting body, and I’d intended to have a project done by now, but failed in that regard. So consider this a prelude for when it is done.
The HL-10 was
I’ve commented before about getting into 3D printing, and the only major change made since the last mention was adding a resin printer to the mix, not too long after we moved to Walkabout Estates Plus – this was largely
After realizing that I could use some enhancements to my shooting rig for a particular topic, I ended up designing and making them in record time. And to my own surprise, they work quite well, with fewer issues and modifications than I thought I’d need. I present to you the tactical special ops night stalker imaging rig, the Beav Team Six:
Actually, it’s missing the Vivitar
I’ve mentioned before, perhaps too many times, about getting involved in 3D printing, but it’s served to keep me busy during the lean winter months, and I’m slowly picking up some design skills. I’ve joined a few online repositories for such things and have uploaded a handful of designs, such
