    • Laser holography and optics. After I took an photonics course I became obsessed. I am attempting to build a laser holography setup to capture “true” 3D reflections on a piece of film. Even getting cheap diode lasers to lase coherently at high currents is a challenge. It’s a black hole for money so I need to limit myself but it is just so fucking interesting.
    • Cameras. I am not a good photographer but I love cameras. I can ramble on and on about every single function detail and the history too. I even built a scientific camera for my job from scratch. And beyond that I even started getting into the math behind distortion correction, stereo, panorama etc.
    • 3D printing is a major rabbit hole. Especially if you’ve built your own printer.
