Hi Guys,
As you can see in my Gallery I take quite a few photos now and then. I thought it might be useful to list a few tools which I think are quite handy. Normally look for free or open-source tools.

Nikon D40x and Nikon D90 gphoto2 control scripts
I normally write all my scripts with Python, as I'm no longer a good programmer ;-) I've used to program in C and other languages, but my job does not require any programming, so I've lost my knowledge around it...
|
||
|---|---|---|
| HDRI - Multi Exposure Series | This script is useful for Cameras which can not do Bracketing, like my Nikon D40x. so I've wrote a script which takes multiple pictures with different exposure times, so you can creat great HDRI pictures |
HDRI-Scritp Photomatix |
|
||
| Star-Trail Multi exposure | This script is to take multiple
pictures with the same exposure time over a long period of time. This is
very useful to make Star Trail pictures. Afterwards you can use StarTrail.exe to stack them to the final picture. |
