Book Description
In these days of high tech, high spec digital cameras even the rankest amateur can capture technically professional-looking images – but there's a growing trend of happy-go-lucky snappers who yearn for a more simplistic approach, a return to a time when photography was perhaps less predictable. Decidedly low-tech and highly idiosyncratic plastic, or 'toy' cameras such as the original 1984 Lomo Kompakt Automat (which spawned the term 'Lomography'), the Diana and the Holga, and the recently introduced Blackbird, Fly enable them to create images that – while not technically perfect – display a quirky sense of fun, spontaneity, and creative artiness. Whereas digital cameras and high spec film cameras boast the technology to eradicate undesirable optical 'faults' such as vignetting, barrel and pinchushion distortion, converging verticals and noise, the owners of their cheaper cousins – which have only rudimentary plastic lenses – relish the manifestation of such visual aberrations in their pictures. Colors are typically richly over-saturated, exposure frequently off-kilter, focus dreamily soft. Plastic cameras lack light meters, autofocus, auto film advance, adjustable shutters and digital sensors, notoriously leak light onto the 120 or 35mm roll film they employ, and there are some wacky versions: flamboyant wide-angle fish-eyes, stereo cameras with two lenses and two flashes, pinhole cameras that don't even possess a lens, and multi-lens cameras that create negatives combining up to nine images on a single 35mm frame.

Book Description
As technology (seemingly) marches ever forward, makers are thirsty to get their hands on the latest gadgets and gear. But you don’t always need “new” to have fun. Whether it’s rosy nostalgia or a healthy respect for what engineers of old (or the late 1900s as the kids say) were able to achieve with limited resources, there’s whole megabytes to love and learn about the technology of yesterday. In this retro-themed issue of Make: we show you how to play your favorite old-school video games by building your own DIY arcade game, from a full-size cabinet to a tiny programmable microcade. Next, 35 years later the Nintendo Game Boy is still going strong! Cat Graffam tells how she and many others fell in love with the Game Boy Camera and developed a playable art gallery to showcase photos from the community, while Nikola Whallon walks through adding the Pro-Sound Mod to your Game Boy to add more professional sound to your chiptune jams. Then, 18-year-old Daniel Bunting talks about his process for cutting custom small-batch records using polycarbonate discs. Brian Johnson reports on the serendipitous discovery of a cache of 1980s era hardware that jump-started a community around the long defunct NABU computer system. And finally, read a love letter to PC sound cards, and how maker Ian Scott has worked to recreate the unique “tracker” sound with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Plus, 45+ projects including: Build or 3D print a camera lucida that lets you draw accurately by tracing real life Install a microcontroller-powered scale on your espresso machine to pull the perfect shot every time Track your furry, four-legged friends using GPS and your own LoRa network Add polyphonic sound to your projects the easy way with WVR, a no-code, Wi-Fi audio board Make a thermal printing photo booth robot out of a vintage TLR camera Columnist Charles Platt pays tribute after the recent passing of seminal author Don Lancaster, who explained the mysteries of logic chips for generations of DIY hobbyists Pro tips for making the most of your laser projects with LightBurn software Build fun, simple stomp rockets using PVC pipe and soda bottles And more!

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 7,6, Stenden University, course: Bachelor of Business Administration/ Bachelor of Art, language: English, abstract: The social media world has increased fast and people become overwhelmed with information. Since images play an important role in the social media world, organizations have the opportunity to create a profile at the social media network Instagram to post filtered and non filtered photos, to engage its users to view, like and comment those. Photo filters that increase warmth, exposure and contrast get more likes and comments because they elicit feelings of arousal and excitement. This theory can be attributed to the filters colours, since red, orange, and yellow lead to states of arousal and excitement. Next to that, sport fans enjoy images in black&white and sepia. The sport company S is a client that has wished an Instagram profile from the company 12s. For that reason, the management did send many sport related photos to the media firm, which they can post at their profile. However, the employees who are responsible for the Instagram profile are not sure if they should keep the images original or edit them with filters. If they edit photos, they can choose between filters, what makes the choice harder, since they do not know which filter viewers like. For solving that problem, a research was needed to give recommendations to the organization 12s for the best filter choice by analysing appealing colours and filters of lively Instagram users that are interested in sport and leisure via an experiment. For the experiment, two groups were randomly chosen, which were as similar as possible. All participants had to be interested in sport&leisure. One group had to answer questions about original photos and the second group about edited photos. 16 images were posted in original and edited at the Instagram profile Bachelor_Workout, to see which photos receive more likes. The outcome shows that participants prefer photos edited. Approximately, edited photos receive min. 20 per cent more views and likes compared to original photos. Furthermore, participants like warm colours filters such as Hefe and Valencia and the colourful filter Clarendon. Especially men do like the black and white filter Moon compared to women who prefer the filter X_Pro_II. To engage Instagram users who are interested in sport and leisure, 12s should edit photos with warm colours to reach the target group of the sport company S. If they like to reach more men, they can use the black and white filter Moon and if they concentrate more on women with a photo, they should use the filter Rise.

Book Description
“Swoony, sexy, and melancholy. . . a tattered love letter to youth, music, and Nashville.” —Daisy Alpert Florin, author of My Last Innocent Year In the sweaty music clubs and late-night house parties of Nashville, an aspiring songwriter tries to make friends, find love, and write songs—without losing herself Most nights, you’ll find Alison Hunter at The Venue, the kind of sweaty Nashville spot that’s on the circuit for bands like Bon Iver and Death Cab. Sounds glamorous—but not for Al, who stamps hands at the door with Julien, the quiet coworker who treats her like a little sister. When she can sneak off, she bums drinks from the tattooed bartender and watches the bands, wondering if she’ll ever finish a song of her own after her disastrous attempt to play in public. When a once-in-a-century storm hits and her lead singer ex-boyfriend shows up at the door, Al finds herself stuck in a perpetual cycle of late nights, new flings, and old flames. Obsessed with the disappearance of a troubled indie star, she slowly starts to lose it herself—until one reckless night threatens to derail everything. As propulsive and sexy as the rasp of a static-driven amp, Lo Fi is an openhearted tribute to the messy truth of the creative life, the clash of lust and love, and the yearning to be heard.
