Photography

I have an Olympus TG-3 camera that I use to record my ham radio activities and document my work.

I really enjoy taking sharp macro images with the TG-3 because it is able to focus on objects as close as 1cm from the lens and can magnify the image many times. It also has a Focus Bracket feature which helps a lot with depth of field. I use an LG-1 Light Ring for even illumination of the subject. The pictures below were taken to document my work.

Figure 1 shows an 0603 resistor soldered as a poor man's termination on a piece of UT-141 coax cable. The resistor is 0.06" (1.5mm) by 0.03" (0.76mm) and the cable is 0.141" (3.6mm) in diameter.

Figure 2 shows sheet ferrite material wrapped around UT-141 coax cable and held using cable ties. The gold-coloured object is a female SMA connector.
