"Gooi hom Bokkie !"

a Friend (Micheal) came to my room , while I was procrastinating (Environmental Engineering) and watching skins, he asked if I could accompany him to the Neelsie for some late afternoon lunch. I thought about it for a while, "agreed", so we took a walk, wearing hippiejacket and a black umbrella, and found some people racing their cars in the parking lot, have a look at the snappies.

Hangbrug

Taken after the rain on a sunday afternoon, this view stretches from Jonkershoek (to the left) to where Cape Town is (Behind the mountain....) Taken on the farthest sportsfields at Stellenbosch University. You have to cross a very scary suspension bridge to get here, also, there are fireflies here.. sometimes.

Huis Visser Stellenbosch Panorama


Another Nokia N81 picture compiled panorama, This time of the place I stay at Varsity; Huis Visser Residence est 1945, This is taken on the "Grasperk" (lawn) to the side of the res on a Sunny day in June.

Eersterivier Panorama


The above picture is a panorama made from about 100 2MP photos taken with my nokia N81, Its not the best, but its a great view from a park bench next to the Eersterivier (First River in Afrikaans) in Stellenbosch South Africa

Clear to Chrome


Well, not really chrome, Aluminium actually, but its shiny and reflective.. so it works...
I recently got a "Lomography.com actionsampler clear"




But then I saw the Actionsampler Chrome...






So I decided, having access to a PVD facility, I hacked open my actionsampler and proceeded to deposit a thin layer of aluminium on the inside of the clear perspex housing, The following image shows actionsampler before disassembly...

Where after I disassembled it and placed the housing and gutty-wuts in the PVD chamber

a Close up of the housing in the chamber and the finished innards..


And the un- assembled finished actionsampler "Chrome"..
