For a lot of time-lapses of 3d printers like this one the picture is taken when the hot end is either out of the picture or in the same place so that the focus is on the object being built, not the...
I'm going to start this post off with a general response to your list of requirements in order to expand this as a learning opportunity...then we'll get onto gear. Some kind of flash. It's likely ...

I'm looking for a digital camera, not anything particularly fancy but probably not the cheapest one can get (though maybe some really low-end would be good enough?) Some context I am one of the f...

I'm not quite sure how to make one that will be as resistant to impact or scrapes as an engineered one. Many large lenses are sold with fabric "socks" as their only protection, so you may be worr...
I recently bought a large projector at auction and it came with a 133mm diameter lens but no caps or covers. Where do I find lens covers for such a large lens? The universal lens covers I've seen d...

Shutter speed Shutter speed is the inverse of exposure time: i.e. it measures how long the camera collects light. This is the parameter with most flexibility: most cameras support shutter speeds at...
Shutter speed. This controls how long light reflecting off of objects hits the sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the brighter the image. So a shutter speed of 1/50 would make the image bright...
