Always in a constant search for new ways to produce the iconic imagery of Kodak infrared Aerochrome film, I thought up an interesting method that only requires an iPhone, a 720nm Infrared filter, and some kind of Photoshop software! Video Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64H-s7o0RSE&t=2s The video goes into detail on the exact process, but a quick summary… Continue reading Cheapest Infrared Aerochrome Imaging with an iPhone
Always chasing the beautiful colors of the elusive Aerochrome film I dived into the art of infrared photography. It is one of the many niche areas of photography, infrared photography can produce images that are almost otherworldly. This is because infrared light is invisible to the human eye, making the resulting images alien to our… Continue reading Converting a Digital Camera to Take Infrared Aerochrome Images
In a few previous projects, I investigated ways to create images that look like the famous Kodak Aerochrome infrared film. As a film stock that is just not available anymore, we must look for ways to re-create it in creative ways. The color swap method gets easily confused on things that are green but not… Continue reading An Analog Aerochrome Film Replacement
Purchasing a Leica camera on eBay is always a daunting task, between the sky-high price and the vintage nature you are bound to have some sleepless nights. One of the ways I have been able to afford such a camera is that I looked to purchase one that was mechanically functional but may have been… Continue reading Replacing Leather on the Leica M4
2CR5 batteries are commonly used in film cameras from the early 90s and 00s. But have not been used in much of anything else since then. So these batteries have not received any of the modern benefits of the digital era. You can still buy them but they are quite expensive at ~$10 a piece!… Continue reading Making a USB-C Rechargeable 2CR5 Battery
First, what is an ASIC? An ASIC is an Application Specific Integrated Circuit which basically means that it is an Integrated Circuit on a single piece of silicon and its use is limited to a particular application or function. An example would be an ASIC to process an audio CODEC or run a specific cryptographic… Continue reading Designing My Very Own ASIC with Tiny Tapeout
Taking pictures and geeking out over cameras was one of my first hobbies starting with an old Olympus point and shoot, I then moved up to a DSLR upgrading as new and exciting technology became accessible to my summer job budget. I then got the opportunity to buy a Leica M8 and was immediately hooked… Continue reading Pieca: A Raspberry Pi Camera System for Leica M Mount Lenses
In my quest to become more familiar with Docker I decided to create a container to run another wireless radio software called Kismet. Kismet is a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework. Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the… Continue reading Creating a WiFi Monitor with a Kismet Docker Container
Portable projects require some kind of battery, but getting information on the voltage level or how much battery life you have left is a whole other problem. This can be solved by monitoring the voltage on the battery using an analog to digital converter, and then some firmware to read that digital value and produce… Continue reading Quick and Dirty ATTiny85 LiPO Battery Gauge
I have been using GNURadio since college, and even now just getting the software installed and working with your hardware radio can be a challenge. So I decided to create a Docker image that not only has GNURadio installed but can be accessed via VNC in a browser tab. This allows this container to be… Continue reading Simple GNURadio Server Setup with noVNC Docker
