My buddy gave me a miniature for my birthday. It’s actually called, “Drone Pilot” – well, I just had to 3D print a seat for him on my Mavic Mini and create the short video below. Still a kid at heart… Gilberto

Raspberry Pi4 mini computer and 3D printed case
Purchased a small “mini computer.” It’s called a Raspberry Pi 4 (version). I’m very interesting in monitoring my long 3D prints so this little tiny computer (along with a good web cam) will allow me to send prints wirelessly to my 3D printer and most importantly – monitor them. If […]
Explorers of Photography – Macro Photography 4-11-20
Busted out my camera gear to do some photography but in a different manner. I had experimented with Macro photography before but not like this. I had some mini figures (not very good) but being inspired by some other photographers on the web, I thought I’d try my hand […]
Mavic Mini buzzes the grass…
Took my Mavic Mini out to see how low I could fly it. I’m more interested in these types of shots. It was fun…but anxious too. Check out the short video below. Gilberto
Mavic Mini in the Fog 3-25-20
We’d been having some foggy mornings so I took the opportunity to get the MM up in the air. Actually kinda nerve wracking – already can’t see it in the sky. But had to try it. Thanks, Gilberto
Keeping busy and creative with my 3D Printer
Having some fun with pictures and my 3D printer. Took this image of my Emma and Bandit and created a Lithophane. Give the short video a few seconds to load. “A lithophane (French: lithophanie) is an etched or molded artwork in very thin translucent porcelain that can be seen clearly […]
3D printing with “The Good Stuff” 3-14-20
Finally getting around to printing with this new Gold filament. Man I love this stuff! Experimenting 3D printing in “VASE mode” whic, which means after the base is printed, the nozzle traces a single continuous path (spiral) until it finishes the model. “Very mesmerizing – see the short movie below” But […]
Be prepared…
We had an interesting visitor the other day – a large white snake. I saw it and after taking pictures and shooting video, I scrambled to figure out how to catch it. I rigged up something quick but we’ve had numerous snakes in our area so I thought…I’m gonna be […]
Keeping my Photoshop skills current
Most of you know that I’ve been doing a lot of photoshoots in the past year. I’ve been lucky to have such wonderful models and for the most part, I would just clean up the backgrounds and send the images to my models for well…being my models. I need to […]
