WAMP 2024

Das WAMP war mal wieder eine tolle Erfahrung dieses Jahr. Ich muss mich bei den Organisierenden dafür bedanken, den Besuchern einen angenehmen Urlaub und gleichzeitig ein Chaos-Event mit Programm zu bieten. Aus der Erfahrung der letzten beiden Jahren wurden Verbesserungen extrahiert und umgesetzt. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf etwas über 100 gestiegen. Genau so kann das WAMP meinetwegen bleiben. Ich hätte nichts dagegen, wenn noch ein paar mehr Tickets in Umlauf gebracht würden. Platz ist da. Aber es war dieses Jahr von angenehm stressfreier Größe.

Sicher gäbe es viel zu erzählen. Aber geht doch selbst mal hin, wenn es euch so interessiert. Wer Chaos-Events kennt hat anhand der hier angehängten Fotos schon einen ausreichenden Eindruck. Ich weiß, keine Bildbeschreibungen aktuell. Also zusammenfassend: Viel Platz, wiesen, ein paar Bäume, alles mit viel RGB, in der großen, offenen Holzunterkunft das Hockcenter und der Essensbereich. Ein Vortragszelt, dieses Jahr auch ein Hardware-Hacking-Zelt vom ZLT mit gutem Lötbausatzangebot, beheizter Pool, Sauna, Feuerstelle.

Prince Whateverer and Catastrophe at GalaCon 2024

Entry created on 2024-08-03 Authors: steeph (337) Categories: GalaCon (4) Music (4) Photos (23) Pictures (59) Prince Whateverer (1) Topics: Events → My Little Pony (6)

I like seeing Prince Whateverer live. We both hope that recent years are a sign that he will be a yearly guest at this convention. That would mean that I don't have to go to another event to see him. I'll be at GalaCon anyway.

Last weekend has been the first time that I decided to take stage pictures of a rock band in years. And it was Prince Whateverer with Catastrophe at GalaCon 2024. I've made a 119 picture selection and attached it to this entry. I kind of didn't want to reduce the selection more. Although not all of the pictures are that nice or necessary to paint a picture of the concert. I did the basic post processing to the JPEG files. Let me know if you're interested in a higher resolution or a properly developed RAW of some pictures.

New Acrylic LED Pictures

I still make st least some of these LED pictures each year to sell at GalaCon Some of them I like better than others. But there aren't really any that stand out enough for me to want to share them here. I'm making qantity above all, not investing the necessary time and effort to realise the more elaborate ideas. A sheet, a template, outlines, possibly shadows. Like the ones of which I've attached quick snapshots below (quick and dirty, including greasy fingerptints, sorry). No multiple colours, no 3D effect, no several seconds, no customised software for the LED driver. There are so man things that could be done. I'm producing what I think that people want to see at my vendow table. That's still fun. I'm just not approaching the limits of my potential, which could potentially be much more fun. I've always approached this LED picture thing like cooking for a popular restaurant. I make what I knwo people will like, plus some variety. But I'm neither a cook nor am I trying to make money with this venture. Maybe I'll explore making what I want to make more from now on. Just one more interesting picture a year, or something.

I've always had ideas for more complex LED pictures and night lights. At making some of them I've made attempts before. But Nothing that I'm proud of enough to post here. The idea to spend more time on a single picture and possibly make multiple iterations until I'm satisfied has been rekindled though by one specific conversation that I had last year with themisto97. He has made some very elaborate multi-colour LED pictures. There's Jungle Sunset, Sunset Magic, Daring Do and he told me last week that he might try and get around to adding more to his Gallery soon.

And while I'm at it, here are three more LED pictures that I like that are not just outlines: A hand-engraved Princess Luna with different area-filling styles by Ksander-Zen (more night lights from them), hand-engraved, multi-coloured Colonia by Malte279 and laser-etched, monochrome ditcher of Moon Dancer with Party Favor by VasGoTec.

Oh, look, there's an extra paragraph where a description of my ideas for multi-coloured LED pictures could be that could make somebody hold me to making them because I said I wanted to.

I'm now slowly starting to slowly get some order into this web site. But very slowly. And there will still be rather random content. I'm converting the galleries that used to be on here into blog entries with image file attachments. So there will be posts with old pictures show up at the top of this blog. (Because why would I put them anywhere else than on the top?)
