Flashlight

In my last post, I wrote about how having a small flashlight helped me to make a photograph better. I have been playing around with one ever since I read Les Saucier's flashlight article.I recently found another benefit to having a small LED light. The other day I was making some macro photographs using a 180mm macro lens with a 1.4 TC and focusing manually. I was also using the flashlight to throw some supplementary light on the subject of the image. I had focused and was playing with the direction of lighting when it occurred to me that the light might also help with focusing.So, I tried a little experiment. I focused manually, then added extra light on the subject and tried to see if the focus was still optimal. I was flabbergasted to find that the vast majority of times, even tho

Je kunt er een uit de knakenbak bij de Gamma meenemen maar die geeft niet zo'n goede lichtopbrengst. Met wat aanpassingen valt daar iets aan te doen.

I love photographing during Springtime. Last weekend I made my first of what is hopefully to be several trips to local wildflower areas. There was some early goldenrod blooming in isolated patches, and I spent some time with my macro lens making images of individual buds. While I was looking around (and getting the aches out of my knees and hips from crouching for so long), I happened to see a ‘bug’ nestled deep within the swirling leaves of an emerging plant. Though I recently wrote a few posts about the types of photographs I don’t frequently take, and one of them was insects, I couldn’t resist trying my hand at capturing an image of the little guy. I liked the pattern and color of the leaves and thought the best approach would be to take an ‘environmental portrait’ rather

Last night Emmett was taking his bath for the night, when I (dad) came through and dropped a mini-mag flashlight into the tub with him. It was turned on, and made the soap bubbles in the tub look really neat. Emmett just looked up at me from inside the tub and gave me a look like "Are you serious? You can't put my flashlight in the tub!" He picked it up, shook the water off of it, and dropped it on the floor outside the tub. It took a few times of me putting it back into the tub for him to realize it was OK to have it in the tub with him. Once he knew it was OK, he had a blast playing with the light under the soap bubbles!

the world has fallen in love with Apple's clean and sophisticated designs, but is making an Apple flashlight going too far? You bet it is. Still, designer Myoshimasato has developed a concept piece that attempts to illustrate what an iLight would look like if it actually existed. I'll admit, it does look like something Apple would design (or Nintendo for that matter), but the functionality makes what should be a simple device unnecessarily complex, and there is no real software component to speak of. Two qualities not generally associated with Apple products.For starters, the light is touch sensitive. You can turn the light on and off with a single tap, or increase the brightness by flicking your finger forward. Double-tapping locks the device and the glowing Apple logo indicates battery status. You can even tap on the logo to automatically flash "Help" in Morse code. While that last part is definitely interesting, it may not be all that handy unless you are lost at sea or your neig

Isn’t it amazing that whenever you really need a flashlight, your batteries are always dead? This usually happens part way through a camping trip, or during a big storm. One of the coolest remedies to this problem comes from a combination of old and new technologies. It is the LED crank flashlight. A few turns of the crank provides power for the flashlight for a relatively long period of time. This is partially due to the low power consumption of the LED bulb. Not to worry, these LED bulbs are very bright. My dad has one of these flashlights and I was amazed at how well it worked. I know I will be asking for one of these for Christmas (more than one is cool too). It is a great gift that can serve a purpose when outdoors or at home. Terry Pearson

Tomb Raider: Anniversary Edition for the Wii will have some extra features not added to the previous versions (released for Xbox 360, PC, PS2 and PSP) and one of those features is the very handy addition of a flashlight so you can see in all those dark, dank corners of the various caves and caverns you will find Lara making her way through in this remake of the original Tomb Raider. In addition to the exclusive Wii flashlight video below, check out the Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition controller demo for how exactly the game will work with the Wii Nunchuck and Remote. Share This

Here’s an idea that will make you say ‘why didn’t I think of that’… This flashlight is so simple, even a caveman could have designed it. Flash lights don’t come much simpler than this. Take one 9V battery, housing for 3 LED lights and an on/off switch. Place housing on battery and there you have it; a tiny flashlight. Genius.You should be able to get these from Kikkerland next month.Source: Technabob

Few of us carry torches around on our person and yet there’s no doubt that they are handy devices to have around, especially for those unforeseeable incidents such as your car breaking down in the dark or for when you’ve dropped your house keys in the middle of the night whilst stumbling home a little the worse for wear and a quick feel around in the grass has found a slug, a used condom but no keys.

It looks like a big flashlight — but it's really a nonlethal weapon designed to make you sick. Its inventors call it the LED Incapacitator (L-E-D, as in light-emitting diode). Weapons buffs call it a nonlethal weapon. But test subjects who have buckled and reeled from its nauseating strobe call it other names—none printable. A flashlight designed to make you nauseatingly ill? What fiendish minds would invent such a tool? The minds of Bob Lieberman and Vladimir Rubtsov, president and senior scientist of Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc., a small R D company in Torrance, CA. Under a multiphase contract from the S T Directorate’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Office, with technical direction from S T program manager Gerald Kirwin, the two physicists are refining an ultra-bright, multicolored, pulsing “lightsaber” that’s more disorienting, dazzling, and dizzying—though a tad less dangerous—than disco. It’s enough

I just have to wonder who would spend $7,000 on a flashlight?  It looks kind of weird and it is really bright but does that warrant a $7,000 price tag?  The only way I would pay $7,000 for a flashlight is if it could also emit UV rays.  That way I would have a really bright vampire slaying flashlight.  Now that would be cool and possibly worth $7,000.  Full Story

Department of Homeland Security(DHS) has developed a LED flashlight which if falls directly on eyes can cause the disorientation,nausea can even cause vomiting apart from temporary blindness.The new technology could be used as a replacement to the traditional Flashlights used by the cops as it will make them temporary blind as a effect of ultra bright light and the pulses which originate within this LED Flashlight torch which continuously changes both in colour and duration will produce psychophysical effects which will cause the suspect to disorientate and may even lead to vomit thus the cops could handcuff the culprits easily .

This flash light is like something that you see on a sci-fi program, it has no batteries, and in order to power it up, all that is needed is that you shake the torch for around 30 seconds, this will then give you enough power to light up where you are for around five minutes or so, this is really cool. It works because there is a magnet and a metal coil, the shaking causes the generation of electricity, the light is from a bright LED, which can be visible for up to a mile if the circumstances are ok. Some of the features of the flash light are: Available in Regular, Medium or Micro-size Super bright blue/white LED Never needs batteries Never needs bulbs Waterproof Floats in water Visible for up to one mile Great for cars, boats, server rooms, and all emergency kits Dimensions: 11.25″ x 1.5″ dia. for Regular, 6.5″ x 1″ dia. for Micro Weight: 11.8 oz (335 grams) for Regular, 3.6 oz (102 grams) for Micro The price will be around $25.

Solar flashlights. Big deal, right? It’s not a new idea, and there really isn’t anything special about the BoGo brand. It’s a stylish, functional flashlight that is available for $25.00 from their website. Or is it? What makes BoGo special is that whenever you Buy One, BoGo will Give One (get it?!) to a charity working in a developing country. This is pretty great news for NGOs working in places where electricity is scarce, and sun is plentiful! Additionally, flashlights of this quality (re: good) are rarely donated to places that really need them! If you want to learn more, check out the article in The New York Times about BoGo. Additionally, the BoGo flashlights last up to 20 years, charges in 8 hours to provide 5 hours of light. via greatgreengadgets image via greatgreengadgets bogo, charity, Eco Friendly, flashlight, Gadgets, Green Business, News, ngos, nytimes, Solar Power, solar flashlights

I love how the rage these days is to combine two random items, like this free carabiner / flashlight. How many times have YOU been rock climbing on the side of a mountain and thought to yourself, “Man, I really wish my carabiner had a flashlight on it so that I could turn it on and get a good look at whatever direction it happens to pointing in as it holds onto the rope supporting my life?” I know I think it all the time.

I just received an email from kipkay letting me know about his latest hack. And, I gotta tell you...it's frickin' awesome! Kipkay took a hand-crank powered flashlight and transformed it into an emergency cellphone/PDA recharger. MacGyver would be proud!Anyways, you're probably wondering just how the hack is done. Well, it's surprisingly simple. Kipkay took apart his hand-crank flashlight, like any good hacker would do! Inside was a "small hand crank generator and some button cells" that generate the flashlight's power. He then took an old 12 volt cellphone car adapter and cut off the cigarette plug end. Kipkay then "soldered the wires of the 12 volt adapter right to the two button cell contacts." The end results? A hand-crank recharger that provides free emergency power for your cellphone or PDA.
