I can't find any. The newer QN800D or whatever aren't available in 55". And they don't make the QN700B anymore. EDIT: Also wow I've been using this QN800A for like 3 years with the checkerboard problem without reali

I took a pretty nice photo of the new Caltrain using a line scan camera [1]. [1] https://i.dllu.net/caltrain317_4c6c80561b5156c3.jpg (6878 x 2048)

They only do business to business sales. You'd email them and then wire them some money (about $2000 in 2017) from your company.

Oh yeah I took that picture on the Wikipedia article! I have a couple more on my website [1]. One of these days I want to go to Atherton station with my line scan camera to scan some Caltrains. [1] https://daniel.lawrence.lu/

Depends. Extremely good lenses like the Fujifilm GF 30mm f/5.6 will definitely outperform correcting perspective in Photoshop. Of course, that costs many thousands of dollars. But comparing older Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5, or the Samy

A stellar article by Bastian Kratzke as usual. Using tilt to increase depth of field is incredibly useful in macro photography. For example this picture of sushi by Ming Thein [1] using the Nikkor PC-E 85mm lens. It's particularly usef

As someone who has uploaded lots of photos to Wikimedia Commons [1], I think one main challenge is coming up with an encyclopedic description and the right categories. Searching for categories is remarkably difficult, manual, and unintuitiv

True. The alt text in my case contains the LaTeX which contains all the information to define the equation. But you're right that a standard like MathML would allow for other surfaces like Braille.

My blog (eg https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/y2021m09d08/ ) uses MathJax on the serverside (via mathjax-node-cli) which gets rendered into SVG images. I find that this is nice because it's faster and the page

When the train is moving at a constant speed, you can just scale the image manually to make it just right. If it's moving at a non-constant speed, you can apply a spline or similar to remove the distortion.

I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson's aesthetics and would love to shoot that funicular train from Grand Budapest Hotel (which actually exists --- the Buda Hill funicular) using my line scan camera.

I have three of those actually: https://daniel.lawrence.lu/photos/pcc Technically, the photo could be twice the resolution, since the length of the line scan sensor is 4096. It consists of two lines, RGRGRG and GBGBGB.

The RPi HQ camera is a nice step up from the regular RPi camera while being not too expensive too. Incidentally, I also have a project using that [0] but unfortunately no trains where I live. [0] https://daniel.lawrence.lu/b

I recently also bought a rather fancy upright piano, a Sauter Master Class 130 [0]. It is a rather niche brand but the pianos are absolutely top tier and the Master Class easily rivals the Steinway K52 or Bosendorfer Grand Upright, or perha
