Solution for my iMac

Jeff — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:08:33 +0000

Well, after hours searching and trying to get a replacement LCD screen for my 20″ iMac, I was so disappointed I couldn’t find any thing under my budget. $900 for a 3 years old computer screen part I rather get a new Macbook Pro instead.

Since I am low on budget then I figured that I can use my iMac like a normal PC desktop + a monitor if that works. (I have an extra monitor with my iMac, I like having 2 screens, one for browsing and one for work or movies. it’s good.)

So I turn on the mac and try to drag the system preferences window to anther screen, that takes me almost an hour. Try to think about it, I have to guess where is the SP icon on the dock, open it then drag that window to another screen without seeing it. I was luck I did it. Now I have a computer that is “working”. Followed with set 2 screen as duplicate – showing the same thing, then done.

NOT yet, I realize I don’t like the feeling which the screen is on but I can’t really see anything (well, I see grey, white color and cracking screen). I hate to do it but there is only one way I could think of is open the sh*t of that iMac and unplug the LCD cable.

After anther half hour opening, un/screwing and cleaning (you have no idea how dirty is that mac inside, 3 years of dust, moving from Sherbrook to Montreal).

This is my final product, it’s not perfect but I can live with it for now.

I am quite satisfied for what I did.

How to create your own bokeh filter

Jeff — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 08:15:37 +0000

I heard the new about bokeh filter for DSLR, so I did some research on it. The picture turns out pretty cool.

So I was wondering what does this filter looks like, normal UV look? What make is very special?

How does the manufacture made the filter? How to DIY a simple one?

Here is how to do it.

1. Cut and shape the sheet to make a fake lens hood. The Diameter is made so that it snugly fits on the lens.

2. In the middle of the filter the wanted bokeh shape is cut out – in out example a heart is used. I’m not sure how big a hole the shape can be. But you can check it right away by just looking through the viewfinder. On the 50mm lens @ F1.8 a 15mm heart gives a metering value equal to F3.2, so it can probably be a little bigger

3. Set your camera to its lowest aperture value (completely open).

Go ahead and try it out!
