3D Printed Camera. Say Cheese!

Today I bring you the cutest little non-functional camera you'll ever see. ↓

Here it is on the printer, and before Jason took a black sharpie to it↓

You can see in the picture above, the reel with the filament on it, and how it is fed into the printer. This is a gold filament, which is slightly shimmery. 

It's a magnet, too!  Jason designed it with an indentation in the back to insert a magnet for his IN/OUT board at work, where he is a photographer.

...and for scale. Say cheese! ↓

Here is the magnet on our fridge. You can see the texture that is the result of lines of filament being laid down. ↓

This is the second 3D object that Jason designed himself using the free 3D design program, Tinkercad.  My next post, I will show you a few functional prints that he's made. This 3D printer comes in quite handy.

Thanks for visiting!

One Last Time

I just wanted to show you the winning photo from my city's photowalk in Yorktown, Virginia. You can click the picture to go to the photowalk site to see the rest of the entries from our city.

And here is the excellent entry of my photowalk mate, Miss Poo:

Another friend of mine, 3,000 miles away, participated in the walk at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, California. Here's his lovely shot:

As of this posting, his walk leader hadn't chosen a winner yet, so he's still got a chance! Sorry, strike that. I just went back and saw that his leader has now picked someone else as winner. boo.

See ya'll next year!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, my (losing) entry was the cyclist. Ah well, better luck next year.

I'm A Vicarious Winner!!

Remember that photowalk I went on? The decisions are in. The walk leaders have made their choices and I am a winner.....vicariously! My SISTER, who participated in the Leesburg, Virginia walk, won for her city!! And I feel like a winner, too!

Here's her winning photo:

Do you want to know what the best part of this win is? Do you know why I, too, feel like a winner? It is the fact that this picture was taken with a Canon Elph. A little point-and-shoot camera! She beat all the big guns! Just goes to show, and they even stated this in past years on the photowalk site; "Gear is good, vision is better."

Congratulations, Deeroo!!
