Speed measurement with Arduino

2012-02-06T17:22:00.001+02:00

I will begin with my first experience working with Arduino and Arduino IDE. I made a speed detection "device" using 2 laser pointers and 2 LDR sensors connected to an Arduino UNO. Building the schematics is very easy. The resistors are used as pull-down resistors and I wired the sensors and put them in a case, to avoid them detecting surrounding light. For each case, a hole was drilled so

University project teaser

2012-01-27T15:21:00.003+02:00

During this winter semester at H-DA we had to develop a product (later I will reveal the product). For this product we had to make a teaser (to tease our teachers) before the final presentations. The teaser should be a bit teasing and makes you want to know more about the product if not event own one. Also, it should reveal small info about the character of the product. The available time (for

List of "soon to be" tutorials

2011-12-14T08:09:00.003+02:00

As I am more working for my school than for my hobby, here is a short list of the tutorials that will go live starting with january / february: 1. Speed detection / speed camera with arduino, AS3 and PHP 2. Arduino real-time GPS tracking 3. C++ and OpenCV face detection and recognition (if is not too simple for my teachers) 4. Indoor navigation system for Android (for the moment is under

Infected Rain - Judgemental Trap

2011-12-11T21:07:00.001+02:00

They made my day! This girl knows how to rock! I took a break from photography since my university studies require a lot of time this semester. Soon I will post some tutorials on Arduino and Flash, after I will have a working project. Until then … just coffee and Hardcore (in this case is just Nu Metal, or at least the "specialists" say that it is Nu Metal) can save me from

X-Men Mystique bodypaint

2011-10-17T23:03:00.002+03:00

I just run over Mystique form X-men, by accident. Fortunately was just a bodypaint version of Mystique. Great job done by the artist, from the distance was looking like a real X-Men costume. X-Men Mystique bodypaint

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: Ford Focus & Fiesta

2011-09-28T23:18:00.000+03:00

Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta: two cars that I like very much, one day I will buy a Focus (but I am sure that the guys from Ford will give me one for free, just because they like my smile)

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: Ford EVOS Concept

2011-09-28T17:41:00.001+03:00

Ford did it again and presented the Evos concept at Frankfurt auto show, I can't wait to see this concept put into production and in traffic.

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: Chevrolet BelAir

2011-09-28T15:58:00.000+03:00

And I can say just: "Hello sexy!" this Chevrolet BelAir is quite good looking, or should I say Chevy? Just to be more friendly with this nice muscle car. Just imagine yourself driving this car on the highway on your way to the beach or to a fancy restaurant. ... hello lady! ...

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: SsangYong XIV

2011-09-27T03:51:00.001+03:00

This time straight from Korea, SsangYong XIV, ugly as hell …

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: Chevrolet Miray

2011-09-26T03:11:00.000+03:00

Chevrolet Miray or how to be aggressive, sexy and ugly. Its appearance made me think at Alien and Predator in the same time, technology and ugliness, appeal and aggressive look; a bizarre combination that makes it attractive. More to come ....

IAA 2011 Frankfurt: Citroen Tubik

2011-09-26T02:20:00.000+03:00

Probably the ugliest car at IAA 2011, according to my taste, is made by the French company Citroen. Tubik is its name … a bit too shiny and maybe good for a Chanel cat-walk rather than for street. Please enjoy this interesting car design! No mirrors, just video-cameras Is an ugly car but the shapes are nice Sir Mix-a-Lot for

Metering Modes The camera’s exposure sensor, known as an exposure meter, does the majority of the work when figuring out how to shoot a picture. It decides how much light is needed to adequately expose your picture. So it should come as no surprise to learn that cameras distinguish themselves by the kind of meter they use. Some meters are better than others at metering a scene and applying the

Using the exposure modes Every digital camera on the market makes it easy to take quick-and-dirty snapshots using an automatic exposure mode. Automatic exposure is great much of the time, but when you want to get a little more creative you may need to adjust the exposure settings. Usually digital cameras have automatic exposure modes as well as manual, priority, and program settings. Here’s

part2Depth of fieldAnother important thing that is needed for proper composition is called depth of field. Depth of field refers to the region of proper focus that is available in any photographic image. Usually this is not a thin region of proper focus in an image; instead, there’s some distance in front and behind the subject that will also be in focus. This entire region of sharp focus is

part1Move the HorizonThis rule is related to the rule of thirds. If the rule of thirds is followed to the letter, probably this mistake won’t appear.Probably you have seen photographs in which the horizon is right in the middle of the photograph. Actually, the photographer probably did not make a conscious decision to do this.Running the horizon right through the middle of a photograph is boring

After many pictures taken without any theory knowledge about photography I decided to start reading books and take notes and see were and why I have failed taking good pictures.I will begin my first series of “how to take pictures”, trying to share what I have learned.What does it take to take a good picture? For sure, it requires more than a solid knowledge of camera’s various controls and
