Laser Portraits
I made these with a long exposure and a barcode-scanner. I did not blind myself doing it.

Less extreme close-ups
So, I slapped the projector lens on again, but this time, I had it only about five inches away from the camera. Since it was more portable than my three-foot monstrosity, I went on a short walk and grabbed some pictures. When it’s closer to the camera, it can focus on objects further away, and it doesn’t enlarge them as much. But it’s still better for bug pictures than the 18mm-55mm lens than came with my camera.
Here’s something I got:
Extreme Close-up
Inspired by these instructions on making a macro lens, I decided to grab the lens from a slide projector I had lying around, and figure out how to take a picture with it.
I made a 3-foot long tube out of black bristol board, stuck the lens in one end, my Nikon D40 in the other, and took this picture of the Queen on the back of a quarter.
3D cameras
There’s a thing on instructables.com about how to make a 3D camera.
It’s a cheap solution, but I see one problem.
Note here, because the red eye has the extra reflections, it will be as though that eye is a few inches further back than the blue eye. (Imagine taking the path the light follows, and straightening it out.)
