My First Keyboard Custom Build

Look at that orange vibe!! My hobby for mechanical keyboards is not new. I love them since I used one for the first time, as part of my trip to China in 2012. I have had some units, the first one was a Filco Majestouch Ninja with CherryMX® Red, than a WASDKeyboard Tenkeyless with a CherryMX® Brown, and then another Filco Majestouch with CherryMX® Blue, which I sold because it was too loud. After a while, I also sold the other Filco and the WASD one to a friend of mine, and then I entered in the rabbit whole of building my own ones. I build a Drop ALT from the barebones, not so hard because all the compatibility were already made, I even documented the process here. Then I bought a Glorious GMMK Pro, which I also documented something around it here, and this time, I went completely custom...

A Special Bee !

I was in Manhattan with my Macro lens the other day. I brought the Macro one because it was the longer range I had and I wanted some candid shots from people in the city. For my surprise, I found a flower exhibition going on and,I realized I got lucky that day. It was a beautiful day and I noticed some bees flying around the flowers. I was able to capturem them in my sensor! Is that common for 2 bees to work on the same flower? These were taken close to the High Line, in NYC. Whoa! Take a look at these shots!

Glorious GMMK Pro

This time I have the pleasure to show you some pictures of the new Glorious GMMK Pro, a long waited keyboard for the enthusiasts in the community. The GMMK Pro is notorious because it has some unique components in an easy-assembly keyboard, like the rotary knob and a unique key layout, represented by the vertical strip on the right side. I bought this in a group buy, and waited for 5 or 6 months to arrive. I got the brass plate and the GMK Laser keycap set. The pictures were taken right after the keyboard arrive, to avoid collecting dust, fingerprints and other non-desired stuff on the photos. The cable is from Space cables, and this shot is a long exposure relying on the IS of the FUJIFILM 80mm Macro OIS f/2.8. This cable photo is at f/20 with a 15 second exposure.

Manhattan Flowers

Last weekend I decided to get the Fujifilm 80mm Macro and go to Manhattan to photograph some of the beautiful details in the city. I got surprised by a some sort of a flower exposition in Chelsea. That’s what happen when you are lucky enough to have the right lens at the right situation. Brought to you by Fuji X-Pro3 with Fujinon 80mm Macro f/2.8 R WR.

How A Pandemic Snowy Day Looks Like in December 2020

2020 has been hard on all of us with the pandemic and everything. At least, a bright side of that is that due to the lower exposure to human beings to the environment, Mother Nature could recover a little bit without too much intervention during this year. A snowstorm was announced in New Jersey for 12/14/2020. Some newscasters said it would drop off as much as 18 inches of snow in some areas. I always wanted to take pictures of those cozy neighborhoods covered in snow, but with snow, either you are the first or no deal. That is because people start messing up the fluffy nature creation with their cars. This year was the right year to take this kind of photo of a cozy neighborhood over a snowy day. Most people are working from home, and not having to go out early morning for commuting allowed me some...
