DIY Photography: Personalizing My Bags With Killer Zippers
I wanted to test how Expresskeys EK-84 custom keyboard works as a photoshop macro keyboard. It was not as easy as I initially thought. I ended up writing some python, photoshop javascript, doing some woodworking and drawing a bunch of icons in Inkscape to get it where I wanted. All the code and files can...
I wanted to have an overhead pole over the work table, where I can hang things like safety equipment and painted stuff. I also added a simple camera mount there so I can take photos and video from the top-down perspective. 3MF files for the 3D printed parts can be downloaded here. They are made...
When one of my zipper pull broke, I thought, “well, that’s not a big deal. I will just add some paracord to replace it”. I like the saying from Mythbusters: “If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing”, so just adding paracord was not an option. I wanted to personalize my pull and add...
I have been longing for a long sword for a long time, just to display it on my wall. I will be using it as a prop in some photoshoots too. Cross-guard of the sword has two loops in it, so I thought I could use towel hooks to hang it on the wall. It...
We got rid of the old bookshelf which was mainly made from chipboard, but there were some birch wood and drawer bottoms to save. As a summer project, I thought that I make a drawer for my current desk. I wanted to use salvaged material as much as possible. All 3D printed parts can be...
I already have cable relief for the camera and wanted to do something similar for the laptop.
I first bought the Freddy Krueger glove to put it on the shelve. Then I thought that why not make a photo shoot out of it. To make an outfit complete, I needed to buy a couple of more things like the mask and the iconic shirt. My son promised to be Freddy, and I...
I broke the remote control port from my D800 years ago. For D850, I wanted a cable relief to keep my ports intact. For the GFX-50s, I wanted something similar too. It has the battery compartment in a weird place, and the only L-plate I could find that allows easy battery change was Arca-Swiss Classic...
DIY Photography: How i made a diy remote on a pole adapter for operating both camera and light on my ownPetapixel: How I Attached a Camera Remote to a Handheld Light Pole
I saw a project on youtube that used a neon-like led strip. It looked so interesting that I searched for more. The projects that I found used CNC carved channels for the led strip. Since I don’t own or have access to CNC, I used a 3D printer. For the final touch, I used wifi...
I ripped off the legs of an old light stand, so it’s just a handheld pole with the light. I also want to use the camera remote control when holding the light. That way, I can operate my camera on a tripod when I don’t have an assistant. The STL file for the remote holder...
I wanted to give a handmade wallet as a Christmas gift. I could not find a template that I was entirely happy with, so I took pieces from here and there and designed my template. It’s a minimalist wallet with two card slots and a pocket in the middle for some cash. You can download...
I wanted to stamp custom logos to leather. I needed it for hobby use, so metal stamps are out of the question. I 3D printed one for a test and, those seem to work very well. They are fast and easy to make too. I made a coaster with my logo for myself. The wallet...
I needed a mask display stand for my Freddy Krueger latex mask from Trick or Treat Studios. I ended up making this super cheap DIY stand that was fast to make. You only need some leftover wood, a screw, an empty soda bottle and a black sock (in my case a one without a pair).
The monthly theme in the local camera club is humour. I thought I could do a couple of images to it. To get creative juices flowing after The Dark Room series and summer break. I made the models from simple accessories. The school desk took some time, and I decided to only make one and...
I bought some Skådis boards from Ikea and designed my own system for the tools. All the parts are 3D printed which makes it easy to update and make more as needed. Some shelves needed text which is simply printed in adhesive A4 paper (SVG here). Generic 3mf files can be found here and Fusion...
DIY Photography: The Dark Room Photo Project Mixes Life-size Models with 1:6 Scale Diy Props Petapixel: The Dark Room: Shooting a Series with Life-Size Models and 1:6 Scale Props
Photoart project mixing life-size models, 1:6 scale props and digital backgrounds. I was listening to my favourite band Sentenced and their album “The Cold White Light”. While listening I started thinking “Should I make images from the songs in my favourite album?”. Well, that was the original plan in February 2020. Now ideas have gone...
I wanted some extra protection for the tethering cable and found this old neck strap for a USB stick (I think). I glued it to a short USB cable that I have to use anyway since it has the right 90-degree angle. I need that so I can still use the L plate also in...
