Background Information This is the fourth part - and perhaps the last one - of a series of posts on backing up photos while traveling using a Raspberry Pi (RPi) and iOS devices. Here are the links to previous posts. Part I: Initial setup and basic Python backup script. Part II: Using iOS today widgets to handle the backup process. Part III: Using the Raspberry Pi’s Sense HAT to handle the backup process....
In my quest to travel with the least posible amount of equipment, I decided to leave the intervalometer at home and use the Raspberry Pi as a time-lapse controller for the Sony A7 II. Since time-lapses take a long time to shoot for obvious reasons, I’ll be using the Sense HAT on the Raspberry Pi as a progress bar to give the user a general indication of how many shots are left....
Background Information This is the third part of a series of posts on backing up photos while traveling using a Raspberry Pi (RPi) and iOS devices (here are both Part I and Part II). Although each part ends with a perfectly working solution, subsequent parts built on the previous one, aiming at having a streamlined and easy-to-use process. The general process continues to be the same: This time, I had 3 clear objectives in mind:...
Quarks rating explanation here. Hardware Design Rating: 8.5/10 The 12mm f/5.6 is one of the three wide angle lenses that Voigtlander have produced for the Sony FE so far. I had the opportunity of reviewing the other two (here and here), and holding this lens feels terribly familiar, I would say it feels almost the same as the 10mm f/5.6. True to Voigtlander’s fashion, design is elegant and functional. Every single hardware feature is there for a reason, and it’s adequately positioned: the aperture ring is placed towards the front, well separated from the focusing ring, which makes it really easy to operate without looking....
Quarks rating explanation here. Hardware Design Rating: 8.5/10 Just like the other lenses in the Loxia line, this lens for the Sony FE mount is elegantly engineered, without any superfluous features to speak of. No buttons or unnecessary switches, just the focus ring and the aperture ring. Since it lacks auto focus, Zeiss was able to pack a lot of power in a very small size. Below is a size comparison with the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/2....
