It\u2019s for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things. We call them Makers.<\/p>\n<p>I attended the first Maker Faire last year and it was great fun!&nbsp; I highly recommend it.&nbsp; For those avid photographers and photo DIY\u2019ers interested in some photo Maker fun, there are at least a few photo-related activities that I found on the schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/makerfaire.com\/pub\/e\/251\">Kite Aerial Photography<\/a>:<\/strong>&nbsp; Cris Benton will show how to make your own kite-based aerial photography apparatus at home;<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/makerfaire.com\/pub\/e\/160\">Stereoscopic 3D Cameras and Displays<\/a>:<\/strong>&nbsp; if you liked Aprille\u2019s post on <a href=\"http:\/\/aprilleroelle.1000words.kodak.com\/default.asp?item=520864\">3D pictures the easy way<\/a>, you should definitely check out this Maker Workbench put on by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.la3dclub.com\/\">Stereo Club of Southern California<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/makerfaire.com\/pub\/e\/352\">Realtimelapse Mobile Camera Tower<\/a>:<\/strong>&nbsp; Derek Lomas will teach how to create an inexpensive, quickly assembled mechanism for capturing real-time, time-lapse aerial footage of crowd movements through public spaces;<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/makerfaire.com\/pub\/e\/218\">Make Your Own High-Speed Strobe Photos<\/a>:<\/strong>&nbsp; the folks from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quaketronics.com\/\">Quaketronics<\/a> will show you how to shoot high-speed photos with a digital camera and a strobe light.&nbsp; Learn how to capture a picture of a balloon bursting in action!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cris Benton is a longtime photography enthusiast and an Architecture Professor at UC Berkeley.&nbsp; His website on <a href=\"http:\/\/arch.ced.berkeley.edu\/kap\/\">Kite Aerial Photography<\/a> (KAP) contains a wealth of information on the topic and lots of links and resources.&nbsp; Cris flew his first KAP rig in April 1995 \u2013 see the smiling picture of Cris with his first rig <a href=\"http:\/\/arch.ced.berkeley.edu\/kap\/kaptoc.html\">here<\/a>. According to Cris, \u201cKite aerial photography appeals to that part of me, perhaps of all of us, that would slip our earthly bonds and see the world from new heights.\u201d&nbsp; Cris was kind enough to provide a few of his KAP photos for us to include on the Kodak blog:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/staciehibino.org\/core\/images\/kodakBlog\/kiteAerialPhotos\/2623161-lg_gilleleje_rowboats.jpg?w=200\" alt=\"Gilleleje Rowboats\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staciehibino.org\/core\/images\/kodakBlog\/kiteAerialPhotos\/923164-lg_waves.jpg?w=188\" alt=\"Wave at North Beach, Pt.

The excitement it creates for 3D is extraordinary, and the blend between really old and really new technology provides a tangible connection to our 3D history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Kurland is the club\u2019s digital projection guru.&nbsp; Eric has successfully hacked drugstore digital point and shoot cameras, joined for stereoscopic 3D video at 640&#215;480.&nbsp; The front and rear views of his setup are shown here:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/staciehibino.org\/core\/images\/kodakBlog\/stereoscopic3D\/hacked_digital_cams_converted_to_stereo.jpg?w=450\" alt=\"hacked digital cams converted to stereo\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><br \/>\nWant to review your 3D captures?&nbsp; No problem.
