Bullet Time Lightning
This project uses 10 inexpensive digital cameras to create a composite 3D image. The shot of the lightning coming from the tesla coil are fantastic.
Spherical Panorama Sequencing Robot
This project automatically takes a sequence of 5 photos at varying vertical angles in every 18 degrees in a circle. The creator likens it to putting your head inside a big beach ball to look at the composite image.
3D Printed Telescope Adapter
Eric Weiss used a MakerBot Replicator 2X to create a lens adapter to hook his camera into his telescope for some great shots of the night sky. Some of his deep space shots used software to stack more than 50 long exposures together.
Raspberry Pi Photo Booth
James Wolf used a Raspberry Pi to remotely trigger a high definition camera and display the images on an accompanying screen. The remote control is easy to use, so no more “wait, I wasn’t ready!” pics at your next bash.
