A GIVEAWAY... to warm up the summer ;) [ENDED - Winner announced at post #69]

When’s the free “iPad Pro” GAW happening?? I mean the one with the 12.9” XDR screen and the M1 processor! :money_mouth_face:

I will join this, thanks for the giveaway MB! Reminds me that I still need to do my 10.000 posts giveaway :person_facepalming:

This is not so much lightpainting but light blasting, using the vir-o-blast adapted as blf-o-blast for the occasion, aimed at my ever so tolerant neighbour’s roof at 40 meters away :beer:

Thanks for your words RC :wink: In case you change your mind, this will be open for a while :wink:

Ahah, there is always “that” catch :stuck_out_tongue: I write too much, I guess :smiley:
As with Raccoon City, in case you change your mind, will be welcome to the GAW :+1:

My friend, I will never beat you in your kindness :wink:
As for the creativity, please note that you have 2 options, on points #5 and #6. So, I am sure you can always try to fit some good thoughts to enter this GAW in case you want to!

BTW, as an incentive, here’s my single mode Tool AA Panda White, with orange lighted tailswitch :heart_eyes:

Ahah, I guess “that” GAW is not “this” GAW! I ain’t that rich…yet :smiley:
In case you wanna enter the GAW, feel free for it :+1:

Ahah, cool :sunglasses: Always good and innovative things coming from Amsterdam :wink:

And I like the “light blasting” designation for this entry! Welcome :wink:

No, I wasn’t talking about your GAW in particular, just about other GAW nexttime. Your GAW is already quite generous. I mean you’re giving away the FW! I guess I’ll enter and see what I can come up with! :smiling_imp:

I got it :wink: Maybe someday iPads have integrated flashlights and become eligible for my GAWs as well :stuck_out_tongue: :money_mouth_face:

Feel free to be IN whenever you want :beer:

Thanks for the generous give away MascaratumB!

Here is my first attempt at light painting, I’m sorry if it’s crap.

I used a D4V2 xpl-hi and a Panasonic ZS100 camera

Ahah, way cool :wink: Me likes!
And it is probably much better than what I could do, I really can’t do that :person_facepalming:
Welcome :beer:

Some sort of not so secret code :wink: ….

Thanks
And thats about what that light cost :smiley:

Ahhh :laughing: Loved it MtnDon :beer:
This was quite inventive! I needed to take a look at the code chart just to confirm as I don’t know it all by head, becauses…well, flashlights only have the dreaded SOS :wink:
Thanks and welcome :wink:

Bort is budget for sure :slight_smile: And that’s the soul of things here!
Welcome Bort :beer:

working on my entry, it sorta involves a flashlight, kinda :slight_smile: lots of ws2812 leds and a teensy 3.6 and a sd card and a usb power pack ( powered by lithium bats)

first update, 2 images, once It gets dark and I have time, I’ll post the final image. (my dad fell last night, called a ambulance to take him to hospital. just heard back, he broke his hip, so yeah lots of not fun stuff happening)

first image is the light painting stick, its 351 ws2812 leds on a 9 foot long bit of molding. on the backside is a teensy 3.6 with a micro sd card for image storage.

this next image is the teensy with buttons to controll the displaying of images.

I’ll leave it like this for now, just have to find the time to go outside at night, setup the tripod with my camera, setup long exposure, and actually take the photo. maybe tomorrow morning before the sun comes up or tonight after work.
okay here is the results, the picture is a lil blurry, I’ll have to fiddle with the camera some.

best I can do for now, only around 2 years of interest.

I’ll edit this later with a somewhat sexy pic or an attempt to tell an interesting (lie) story.

So I was cutting my grass when my idiot brother staggered out of the house and laid out on the driveway . I took a break and asked him what his problem was . He said "Remember when you told me to buy those Samsung 30Q's and I said Ultra-fires were just as good ... "Maybe we should call the fire department "

going with #6:

Best

Freebie.

thanks.

Cool, seems an interesting idea :wink: I’ll be looking for its implementation, but I “booked” your the name on the list, so when you do it, you can update your post :wink:
Welcome :+1:

Ahaha, that’s a “throwy” entry :wink: Like it :wink:
Welcome :+1:

Sexy flashlight pic? :blush: You know what I’d like to see :wink:
When you have it, you can update your post and I “booked” your name in the list!

Welcome :beer:

Ahah, never thought about that, but I guess this and other GAWs fit perfectly on that category :smiley: :partying_face:
Maybe sb wants to change the name of the “Contests and Giveways” for your designation :wink:
Welcome :+1:
