Obviously a camera is useless without a lens, so I went around to several local camera shops (and there were more local shops around back then) and I came back with what today may be seen as a very cheap lens: the Sigma 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 UC. I think I spent around $70 for it....
Back to the user space, my collaborator help me migrate both the INDI and astrometry.net plate solver into Linux. For the latter the entire Makefile is rewritten to make it portable in buildroot. Anyway, I do not need the fancy drawing stuff except the solver itself for pinpointing the sta...
I also like it can save battery if near your wifi. The options to turn on noise and lights is smart, but I also like that it glows pretty bright after your dogs been in the sun. Subscription is pretty cheap and reasonable considering what you're getting, especially if you get it on ...
almost a decade now, i much prefer using my dslr as it has a OVF though so that will always be my first choice, i use my mirrorless mainly for birding because the 1 inch sensor gives my 300mm a AOV of 810mm, not really bothered about future cameras whilst my old stuff keeps ...
Personal stuff Now that I’ve covered what I think are some of the essentials for any photographer to keep in their bag that I like to keep in mind, I’ll share some of the personal items that I like to stow for reasons that are unique to me. I don’t expect that everyone will ...
If you want to do time-lapse or slow stuff down the camera has S&Q motion that goes from 1fps to 60fps at 1920×1080. The camera has WiFi and NFC and allows remote control via Content Browser Mobile and simply touching an NFC enabled phone or tablet against the side of the camera ...
A more affordable option is a business who owns a Moviestuff Workprinter or Sniper unit. Transfer rates with these units will generally be much cheaper than a Rank or Spirit session and the quality is still quite good for the money. However, with a Workprinter or Sniper, you may or may...
Personally I find that I use a hand strap more than I use a shoulder strap. The majority of my photography work is stuff that requires me to transport my gear in a backpack, and once I have taken the photo the camera usually goes back into the pack right away. When there’s little ...
The middle layer looks like power conditioning and some stuff that makes the "click" sounds when the LED and infrared lights turn on and off. The lowest layer board has an SoC called GOKE7102C. It also contains a TMS1102NL which is apparently a magnet isolation and interference suppression ...
cameras and stuff. It’s a perfectly capable camera, but I’d be worried using heavy lenses on it due to the plastic lens mount. Besides that, to me it just looks real cheesy and it just wouldn’t inspire me to shoot. Somehow though it looks pretty nice now when I look at this ...
