Abstract

The aim of the thesis was to make a photographic accessory or system that can expand the ability of creative photography. It allows the photographer to use an extreme exposure at which the camera can record high-speed photos and interval photos (e.g., water balloon pop, water drop splash or bullet hitting grape berry). The thesis presents a system for creative photography that consists of: an Arduino microcontroller, a GPS module, a control circuitry, sensors, an Android device and its software application for a wireless management of the system. The system for creative photography can be used to select a trigger and set its parameters. The system offers a choice of sound, light, laser, speed or time triggers. When an event is detected (e.g., a water balloon pop), the camera and flash are triggered. Separate from the control circuits and sensors a GPS module, which enables proper geotagging of photos, can be connected directly to the camera. The system for creative photography represents a practical example of the merger of two different technologies: an Arduino microcontroller and an Android device. Similar systems can be used for a variety of different solutions in the household (e.g., smart home) or industry (e.g., remote control of production processes).
