Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

Dennis

With the photo above I want to participate to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected. This is a shot with my smartphone and the quality is not great as the lighting conditions were bad. But it was still one of the moments when my cat gets funny. That is usually the moment when my cat starts to show some unexpected talents. This is why I think that the image does fit to the challenge even with bad quality of the photo. On the photo you can see a chair with a broken seat. The photo was taken before I wanted to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

Some silver hooks I found in a shop for bathing facilities months ago and a black guitar holder for the wall. I really did need a tripod for my smartphone so that I can take videos of me while playing guitar for example. Also it might be useful if I want to photograph static … Continue reading DIY Smartphone Tripod

Started to take a look into Android Development…

Dennis

I mentioned it already in my last post but I didn´t go into detail as the reason for the last article was a different one. But let me go into detail now… I did read a lot about Android App Development last days. I started reading because I have an idea for a small but cool application, which I would like to create. I asked in some Android Development Communities where I should start and if my idea would be a realistic goal for a beginner in Android development. I got many answers and some experts said that my idea … Continue reading Started to take a look into Android Development…
