What is the point of this may I ask?

Don't quit your day job.

Game on son. This is now a DaMummy delivrar thread.

You have long to go...

 

[Rockthesmurf]

Learn to take pictures? Just point your camera and click the shutter button, and, ta da, you have a picture. Learning to take what is generally accepted as 'good' pictures, well that is a lot trickier...

 

[WizardStan]

Don't listen to the fuddy duddies. Take all the pictures you want, enjoy your hobby. If you have fun the skill will come naturally over time.

 

[Stahl]

Hi!
Nice pics, do you photograph alot?

 

[lordbobjones]

Nice shots.  don't be bothered by the hate.   Panda Porn!!!  

 

[comradekingu]

Well, i took a few the first day. Havent found anything to take pictures of, thought maybe i could do one for size comparison for the wiki.

Not getting a lot done since i have the flu.

Got only 135mm F.2.8 lenses (zair 11 and vivitar) and the 35mm equvalent focal length on the pentax q10 is 5.5x. So i should think its like putting a 742.5mm on a regular sized sensor camera (or thereabouts)

Just downloaded the instructions for use of the camera, as it only came with japanese manual. Pm me an email and ill send the originals

Edit: bagged a 12mmF1.4 c-mount lens from japan, will see how it goes when it arrives.

nice pics

now you have to feed stream of images / video into your Pandora so the pandora is showing same picture you are taking ad infinitum (or close enough)

good luck with it

here are my pandora pics:

 

[comradekingu]

It has a bit of that fish-eye effect.

 

[FBnil]

nice Kingu! One tip: Cleanup your pandora when making shots so close. Do not like the red one (I _like_ the idea, but there is something off...), but the other is candidate for a screensaver.

Swamm: Lol, your head reflected on every key! I like the blue hue better. Gives it a nice touch. Grazing Pandora in its habitat.

 

[Fzero]

yeah those are not too bad Kingu, looks like you've a pretty decent camera, it is even capturing the dust

and yes, Swamm has some seriously shiny keys there

 

[comradekingu]

I dont like the red one either. Wasnt even the right red one i uploaded. Im a couple of meters away taking pictures actually. Used tripod. I did clean it off, and even before, it appeared to be clean. Whoopdi-do, take pictures. Dust, dust everywhere.

Edit: the dust actually took on some of the backlighting, and produced the bokeh effect, so had to wait on some shots for dust particles to fly by. Very relaxing to watch btw.

 

[comradekingu]

Updated firmware and starting shooting in raw, dont know what to do about the dng files yet. They look dark on my ARGB colour profile monitor.

Experimented with fully closed lens F22 instead of wide open.

 

[notaz]

More thermal photos would be nice:

(originally posted by someone a year or so ago, board photo overlaid by me to see what parts radiate most heat)

 

[comradekingu]

I agree, they have a most enticing effect. I backed the Mu Thermal Camera at indiegogo, hope i get one soon. I have an ir thermometer, so i guess i could do it manually too. My relation to gimp is sadly the same as xorg.conf, almost exclusively when i must.

 

[sswam]

Swamm: Lol, your head reflected on every key!

Worst thing about the Pandora is the shiny keys.  Gotta hate those shiny keys.  Seriously, what were they thinking with that?
