If you decide to hang out indoors this week, take a look at this Florida State University gallery of phytochemical micrographs– micrographs are photographs taken through microscopes; phytochemicals are chemicals produced by plants. Capsaicin – This chili pepper-derived spice packs the wallop in your hot tamale, but it is also a digestive aid, a topical […]

Here’s an Instructable that shows you how to modify a disposable camera to turn it into a high-intensity strobe light warning flasher. Hack a flash camera into a emergency strobe light
CHDK, or Canon Hacker’s Development Kit is an awesome thing. It allows Canon digital point-and-shoot owners access to a bunch of great ‘high-end’ features like raw capture, exposure bracketing, and even enabling you to run custom scripts. The software doesn’t make any permanent changes to your camera so there’s no risk of hardware ‘brickification’. Hack […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Andrew from Boulder, CO created an orientation aware USB camera and imaging software to go with it – First I built a circuit to make it so I could read a 3-axis magnetometer and a 3-axis accelerometer over USB, just for the heck of it. Then later, while trying […]
Shooting time-lapse photos would seem a simple task for today’s modern imaging equipment – but in most circumstances a pricey ‘intervalometer’ device is necessary. Have no fear, Arduino user LordYo is on the case. I’ve built an intervalometer for Canon SLR cameras (e.g. EOS 300-400, DigitalRebel) based on Arduino. I call it the Intervaluino. If […]
