Say Hello: The Mantis

Today, I would like to introduce you to a gigantic, insect-looking, walking monstrocity. No, I am not kidding. Behold, the Mantis:

Yep, this thing is real.

Future is here: Festo's BionicOpter

Festo, a company that specializes in automation technology, has recently announced its new robot, and boy is it awesome. I present to you the BionicOpter, a robotic firefly. Incredibily enough, current prototype looks identical to the real insect. Although it seems almost too good to be true (all things consdiered, it has only been a day after April Fools), this is a real thing. Furthermore, the flight patterns of this robot are very similar to those of an actual firefly.

                       

Magic Time: Macro photography with any lens!

Hello, today I will introduce you to the world of macro-photography. For those of you with thousand dollar macro lenses and cameras specifically made for such a task, this article will be a waste of time. Everyone else, however, is more than welcome!

Love from the First Sight

     Three Hundred and Sixty Five days ago I was roaming about my local Best Buy with a desperate need for a replacment of my computer, which kissed this earthly world good-bye after a failed overclocking attempt. Back then I had close to no idea why anyone would need a tablet. Slow, clunky interface of Android or very restrictive iOS didn't appeal to me in any manner. Of course, it was all about to change. After walking around the computer section of the store for what seemed to be ages, my eyes fell upon this little thing:

"What is this" was my initial thought. a laptop? a tablet? It was the best of both. After messing around with it for about twenty minutes, the decision was made, and I bought one right there on the spot. It was not what  came for, but as I later realized, it was worth it. (Beware, lots of pictures and traffic)

It's a whole new blog. Welcome, Friend.

Welcome to this brand new window into the world of modern techonology and incredible photography. Although the two fields may seem to be light-years apart, they make for an interesting, contrasted pair and a great read. Enjoy!
