Of course you'd also need to switch to a wider lens. Just trying to keep the car (as related to the camera's POV) as far away from the walls as possible may solve many issues. But wait, aren't you guys ditching this place? Black paint party!!!

I never see the bright color of the three dome things on the right in any Seattle shots. Gives this cityscape a different feel. That’s an awesome shot.

]]> Comment on [Engineering] – More bullet sensor validation testing by Terence http://www.TerenceTam.com/2010/01/engineering-more-bullet-sensor-validation-testing/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Terence Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:03:11 +0000 http://ttstam.com/?p=30#comment-6 Hey Nick! Thanks for dropping in! It's a Beeman break barrel with interchangable .177 and .22 barrels. I might pick up a chronograph later on, but honestly i don't do enough shooting and tweaking of air guns to really justify one at this point. (Besides, I can probably build one - just have to put a second break-beam sensor in, some 12" down the line. The oscilloscope and electronics are more than fast enough to measure the bullet speed.) Mostly I just needed to convince myself that this sensor will pick up a speeding pellet. I'll have to look up GB Duct Seal... Hey Nick!

Why not get a cheap Chronograph to figure out FPS? You must want one, generally. What model of pellet gun are you using? I've had better luck making a trap that uses GB Duct Seal as the backing vs a phone book. Love it. Why not get a cheap Chronograph to figure out FPS? You must want one, generally.
