M&M’s in Light-Box
In this article I am posting three images for a M&M’s mug to use a Kodakporta400 and ilford film simulation with Fujifilm X-T30ii camera in hand. Also I am posting the outer or say back-stage shot for my Light-Box with LED lighting the subject.

First lit’s see the colored shot using the kodakporta400 film Simulations.
Camera settings: ISO 2000, f 4.5, Focal-Point 34, Shutter speed 1/125s.
Here i use the ilford film Simulations. The setting was: ISO 6400 , f 14 , Focal-Point 34 , Shutter speed 1/125s.


This is the Light-Box studio I am using with an out-source LED lights.
In this shot I just change the light position.

Two Simulations for Fujifilm X-T30ii
Using film Simulations with Fujifilm X-T30ii was important factor that drive me to choose it (Fujifilm X-T30ii) over the Nikon Z FC. Read the full article Here.
In this post I am using Two Film Simulations and posting the result side-by-side. I take the shots indoor with normal room lights and 6400 ISO. I am planning to use those recipes more for outdoor. Lit’s see the photos.

The Simulation here is Kodakporta400, camera in hand. I feel the colors are quite strong.

In this shot I use the ilford hp5, the camera in hand. I like the tone, I think I will use it more in coming days.

The House Yard is like a place where you can sit and play, also a pass to other rooms and facilities
in the House such as bathrooms or kitchens.

Daily Sketch: Colored Love Bird
On last September I start doing some small water_colored sketches on a 4x3in card, sketch size is almost 3x2in. Here I am posting yesterday Love-Bird sketch.

Arduino: AND-Gate Circuit
Learning : Electronic AND-Gate Circuit
Subject: To Build an AND-Gate Circuit using BC547 Transistor
[NOTE: We are working on Electronic Devices, Voltage, Resistors and other Electronic Parts that may Become HOT due to un-stable current or Wrong Wire Connections.. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS AND TAKE SAFETY NEEDED PROCEDURES.]
In this Project we will use the BC547 Transistor to build an AND-Gate Circuit on a breadboard, so we will Not use the ADRUINO board.
What we Need
- 2 2Pin Push-Button.
- 1 LED
- 3 Resistors.
- 2 BC547 Transistor.
- 1 BreadBoard. [I am using a small 5x7cm]
- Some Jumper Wires.
- 3V Battery
Connections
- Connect Both BC547 to the BreadBoard.
- Connect Emitter of the First (left) One to the Collector of the second One (Right one). [Use Jumper Wire]
- Connect TWO Push-Buttons to the BreadBoard.
- Connect between each BasePin of the BC547 and Pin1 of each Push-Button using a Resistor1&2 [Pin1 of PushButton1 to Pin1 of Resistor1, Pin2 on the Resistor1 to BasePin of BC547.]
- Connect Pin2 of Push-Button1 to the Pin2 of the Push-Button2.
- Connect the Push-Button2 Pin2 to a Resistor3 Pin1
- Connect the Resistor3 Pin2 to the LED(+)Pin.
- Connect the LED(-)Pin to the First BC547 CollectorPin
- Connect the Battery (+) to the Resistor3 pin2, and Connect the Battery (-) to the Emitter Pin of Second BC547.

Run-Time
The Logic of the AND-Gate is if the BOTH Button are Pressed in same time the circuit will close and the LED turn On.

Daily Sketch: The Tiger
Using a new pocket size sketch book, pincel and water-color; it is a quite challenge to mix colors on a thin paper. Here is another Daily Sketch challenge “The Tiger “. The paper is observing the water and in some places the paper get damaged.
Here is the sketch..

LED Fade-Off from Prototype to Gadget
Learning about : Circutes, Capasitor, Push-Button
Subject: LED Fade-off apply it on a PCB Board.
[NOTE: We are working on Electronic Devices, Voltage, Resistors and other Electronic Parts that may Become HOT due to un-stable current or Wrong Wire Connections.. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS AND TAKE SAFETY NEEDED PROCEDURES.]
In one of my previous Post [Read Here] I did some connection on a breadboard using BC547 and a Capacitor to make an LED Fade-off in 60sec after pushing a button. In this post we will convert that circuit a simpler circuit doing the same thing from a breadboard to a PCB to be as a Gadget.
What we Need: Here is a list of what we will use:
- 1 LED (I will use a yellow one)
- 1 PCB Board 5x7cm.
- 1 1000uF 6.3v Capacitor.
- 1 Resistor 300 ohm.
- 1 2pin Push Button.
- 1 CR2032 Lithium Cell 3V Battery.
Connection: All the connections will be on a 5x7cm PCB Board, I use a thin steel wire to create a strap to hold the Battery, and:
- Connect the Negative (-) Battery to Pin1 of the Push Button.
- Pin2 of the Push Button will be connected to the Negative (-) pin of the Capacitor.
- Connect the 300ohm Resistor Between (+) Pin of the Capacitor and the (+) Pin of the LED.
- The Negative(-) Pin of the LED will be connected to the Pin2 of the Push Button.
Here is all connections on a small breadboard.

Finslly, I cut the PCB to a smaller size and Label it.

Now once we Push the Button the LED Turns On and Start Fading-Out. [you may need to give 5-10sec to charge the Capacitor before seeing the Fading Effect]
