How I Built My Own Mechanical Keyboard

And here I am writing about them again! I got my first mechanical keyboard in 2014 and instantly got fascinated with the pleasure of typing on such a device. The first one was a Filco Majestouch Ninja. Later on a WASD Tenkeyless, I wrote two blog posts: one explaining mechanical keyboards in general, and the other comparing switch profiles, chassis and everything regarding the 2 keyboards I had. I was super happy with my mechanical keyboards and used them every day, but something started to change when I discovered the Mechanical Keyboards subreddit, not long ago. That’s when I started seeing other non-traditional keyboards showing up. Some of them very unique in terms of colors, keycaps, material, cables, artisan-made keys, electronic parts, firmware, appearance, and even the switch. When I say switch, I am not referring to the fact of choosing a switch style that is already available on the...

FUJIFILM X-Pro3 - A beast not only for street photography

Tired of Canon’s weight and size, I have been looking for a small camera for a long time. While Leica has been my dream for decades, it doesn’t please my wallet, but starting in 2012, I patiently waited for a decent small sized mirrorless camera to be available on the market, range finder preferred. Fuji announced The Fuji X-Pro3 in late 2019, and I realized: that’s it, this is what I have been looking for, now it is time to get it and go to the street! The results could not be better! The main reason is that the FUJI X-Pro3 is a device that allows me to do a discrete service, holding something that looks like an old film camera, being ideal for street photography. It lacks in a read backlit LCD, making it even stealthier. It has both mechanical and electronic shutter, and due to silence, speed, and...

Woodstock Nature

Gaming Desktop Macro Shots

Other day I decided to buy a gaming desktop to play some games. I got a nice surprise when I opened the box, saw a watercooler and beautiful things inside. Got my 100mm Macro lens and did these shots. The model is an HP Omen. And these are the specs of my PC Master Race. Core i9 9900K, 32G RAM, 2x NVMe SSD, NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti

Manhattan Skyline

The day was 4th of July. It was a little bit cold for my hands. I got my camera and tripod and went to Hoboken Pier, set up everything and made this picture from the other side of the Hudson. I like the colors. There are also fireworks pictures, but they were not in Midtown, but close to the Financial District, my 200mm wasn’t that long, it was windy.
