After years of waiting we had the unique chance to dive this lake. It’s a sesonal lake that disappears as quickly as it appears in a shallow valley. Ideal weather conditions allowed for a spectacular dive and great pictures. Because of weight restrictions, I didn’t take pictures myself. I concentrated on modelling for Harald Hois.
You may have a look at his pictures in my model gallery.
Good news!
Both adapters for eyepiece and angle finders for the E-M1 or E-M1 II will also fit the E-M1 X. The already existing adapter designs will fit on the new camera.
You may find out more about the adapters here:
I created animated samples of LED ring color effects. It is now easier to understand what the LED ring will show when receiving a command. The new animated images can be found here.
The Buzzer family got a new member. This buzzer is connected through USB by cable. It acts as a USB HID keyboard or mouse. It extends the existing range of Booth Buzzers.
More about the new Buzzer can be read on my Buzzer page.
I have updated both the controller firmware and the LED ring controller service.
Most light effects now feature a background color. You now may specify a second color for swoop, blinking, countdown and auto countdown.
The new controller firmware is version 1.09, the service is version 1.5.4. You have to update both controller firmware and the service!
If you purchased an LED ring from me, please contact me for an updated configuration manual.

I spent a week on ice diving at lake Weissensee in Carinthia. During that time I also modelled for Harald Hois who was writing an article about ice diving for a magazine.
I updated the software for the PhotoBooth LED Ring Controller. It now uses .net framework version 4.7.2. The setup has been updated to install the required .net framework versions if they are not already present.
This change should ensure a proper installation on PCs where the required .net framework versions are not already installed.
The most recent version can be downloaded here.
Again, I updated the software for the PhotoBooth LED Ring Controller. The service start-up is improved. It has less dependencies and allows an initial light effect on Windows restart and resume from hibernate.
The helper application CmdLauncher.exe got a new parameter -init that will set the configured initial light effect on the LED ring.
The most recent version can be downloaded here.
I changed the software to control the Photobooth LED ring again. The service now allows to specify an initial light effect that is set when Windows boots. In addition, a light effect is set after the installation to check functionality.
I removed setting a light effect when starting the service. It slowed down Windows startup and doesn’t work reliably on a number of Windows 10 installations. The initial effect can be configured in the service configuration file. The effect is set during system startup. It is visible before the Photobooth App is active.
The latest version is available for download.
I updated the Photobooth Controller Service. The service now allows to configure an initial light effect that is shown on the LED ring after the services started. This allows to check the functionality as well as to set an initial light effect before the booth application is active.
The new version may be downloaded here.
