My back yard. Everybody in Albuquerque loves chile. For the past 2 days I have been testing my new Nikon P1000 camera out in my yard and neighborhood. I am very impressed. You have to haul a 3.5 lb camera and a hefty tripod. I used my Manfrotto 3130 tripod with a fluid head that weighs 8 lbs for telephoto shots. The fluid head facilitates video pans, but even it drifted down while shooting at far out lengths such as 3000 mm indicating a need for counter weights such as sand bags or a heavier duty tripod. You also have to use a remote control for shutter depressions and controlling the camera. I purchased a Nikon ML-L7 remote which did the job very well.

The Coolpix P1000 does not use .nef for raw files. It uses .nrw format. I could not use Adobe PS CS6 to read these files. I started saving files in both raw and jpg formats instead of raw exclusively as I do on my Nikon DLSR camera. I had to download Nikon Capture NX-D which came with Nikon Picture Control and Nikon Transfer 2 which I have not tested yet. I Downloaded and installed a Nikon NRW codec. I could not see NRW files in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Bridge CS6 or View NX V2. But I could see them in Capture NX-D, Windows photos, Win Explorer, Win movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Win Photo Viewer.

It pays to purchase a 77 mm clear filter cover because the possibility of scratching the huge lens looms very high.

The Jpg image size is stored in a 12:9 ratio. My other Nikon cameras are sized in a12:8 ratio. Also many functions are accessed by menu rather than buttons common on Nikon DLSR’s.

I have not tested the bird or moon modes on the P1000 yet, but they look promising on paper.

All in all I am very pleased with the Nikon P1000 and look forward to having a lot of fun with it, especially for birding.

A wall near Shibuya covered in graffiti and stickers. I took this photo because of the small brightly colored Mickey Mouse and film projector art/stickers on the bottom left of the image. Not sure what that's about, but Mickey's hat seems to say "CODE;C"?

Jon Satrom performs realtime audio/video, spends time data-bending, makes kludgey work-flows, creates colorful glitch-ware, and enjoys working within collaborative projects and open systems.

He spends his days fixing things, making things work, and teaching. He spends his evenings breaking things, learning, and searching for the unique blips inherent to the systems he explores and exploits.

When creating glitch-art, developing kludgy workflows is key. Softwares and languages with loop-holes, open-ports, and forgotten-functions are integral to constructing situations for glitching. In my mind, no other program embodied this ethic more than QuickTime. It’s popularity, and the fact that it’s development was to position itself within a multimedia paradigm yet-to-be solidified, makes QuickTime (versions 1.5 – 7.6) a quagmire of failures.

The rewrite of QuickTime as QuickTime X has broken an environment that helped form my ideas of how malleable digital video can be. The drumbeat of “progress” has stripped esoteric codecs and functions in favor of current flavor of standardized media consumption.

Popular computer program releases are similar to code-volcanoes barfing new functions on-top of themselves creating mountains of functionality. Due to the fact that QuickTime was one of the first popular desktop video playback and editing technologies, the program is full of strange utopic abandonware. Aside from the myriad of codecs available, two of my favorite QuickTime features are QTVR and the ability to skin one’s own player. These are once celebrated features are now forgotten on the volcanic crater of QuickTime 7.

I’ve been working and performing with these techniques for years and have only found it necessary to articulate my love and investment as I find my go-to-tool on the chopping-block of our upgrade-culture. For now, I can rest assured: it’s a weird-chopping-block; there’s still time. For now, QuickTime7 has been transformed from a player into a utility. Even now (OSX 10.6.6), there are elements of QuickTime X that rely on the robust functionality of QuickTime 7.

When working against an upgrade culture and hesitant to celebrate a retro-ness within my own work, I’m forced to jump the shark and exploit my favorite functions before they are ”legacy features”…

”QTzrk” is powered by QuickTime 7 on MacOS and Windows

Videogramo:

I am looking at all your websites, and I am completely confused by all your alter egos! Francoise Gamma on the computers club and Item Videogramo on 8bitpeoples; Who is Videogramo and who is Gamma?

ComputersClub asked me to be part of the club, but with a name. I didn't want to use my real name, so I invented Francoise (which is derived from my real name) and Gamma from color correction. I think of Francoise Gamma as a fatal rebirth of Videogramo.

Some of your newer work like "the head on the piano" on Vimeo has become less textured and more 3d, is that new and something you are going to do more?

If I would use the textures and patterns like I used in Videogramo ...I would need a whole enterprise to do animation+patterns... Videogramo's working method is crazy… madness, frame by frame ... hhgg, (although sometimes also semi automatic ^__^).

Gamma is more and more wirelined, it is an evolution or involution of Videogramo. More "new", less patterns and more animations (more and more) = ) and mutated movies. In Gamma there are almost no corrupted bodies. I think in this alter ego my mind is changing through other … corruptions.

How is failure or glitch part of your work?

I work with glitch in textures and erratic models (sometimes pure glitch from conversion of 3D formats). I also reference errors through the impossible positions of the models. In Gamma the error plays a role in motion overall. I would maybe call this "glitch simulation" or emulation

Corruption plays a formal role (errors in exporting 3d images), but this "fatal rebirth" of the image also plays a role on a conceptual and narrative level. I think there is not one logics to explain my fascination with error… I think that perhaps I recognize reflexion of myself in the error, or of the universe in general.

A straight-out-of-the-camera video of some President's Choice "Old Fashioned Extra Thick Cut" bacon (a popular Canadian brand, at least in Ontario) as it crackles away in the frying pan atop my stove. For best viewing results, make sure to turn HD on and then watch in full screen mode. : )

Camera used: Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS. Settings used: MOV format - 29.97 fps - H.264 codec - 1280 x 720. This is pretty much the only bacon I buy nowadays, because it really is so much better than 'regular' bacon...which is reflected in the price being more than double. Much meatier, thicker, and ymmmmm. Enjoy the hunger, haha! ♥

Photograph taken at 11:57am on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Forty nine metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Scirpoides holoschoenus is a species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae, commonly called the roundhead bulrush. It has a self-supporting growth form and simple, broad leaves. They are associated with freshwater habitat. Individuals can grow to 0.75 m

This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.

For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.

Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Six metres at 13:18pm on Saturday 13th May 2023 off Eastview Drive and Bevan Avenue on the Bevan Avenue fishing pier in Sidney on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

Just took a cool tour and theater demo of Dolby 7.1 and 3D Digital Cinema at Dolby research. This rack in the projector room is full of various generations of video codecs.

I had wondered how these passive 3D glasses work when I first tried them at PIXAR. From rotating them in front of my polarizing sunglasses, I could tell they are not polarized, and the color space of each lens seemed similar (no red-blue or other obvious color filtering).

Got the answer today: these are complex multilayer lenses made by JDSU with interleaved filters. The left and right eyes receive the RGB color space shifted 20 nanometers. So, for example, each eye can see red, but 20nm offset in color.

The projector has a spinning color filter wheel as they call it. It takes the full-color frames intended for each eye and applies the relative 20nm spectrum shift (probably a non-linear filter). The wheel rotates in sync with the projector’s frame rate.

This particular Point Of View (POV) image puts the viewer into the perspective of the photographer shooting from the top of the Albuquerque J Robert dam to popular hotels in Old Town Albuquerque 9.2 miles away on a Nikon P1000. Many Breaking Bad fans will recognize the dam from past episodes of the tremendously popular video series. Hotel Albuquerque hosted many Breaking Bad parties and media events in the show’s heyday.

For the past 2 days I have been testing my new Nikon P1000 camera out in my yard and neighborhood. I am very impressed. You have to haul a 3.5 lb camera and a hefty tripod. I used my Manfrotto 3130 tripod with a fluid head that weighs 8 lbs for telephoto shots. The fluid head facilitates video pans, but even it drifted down while shooting at far out lengths such as 3000 mm indicating a need for counter weights such as sand bags or a heavier duty tripod. You also have to use a remote control for shutter depressions and controlling the camera. I purchased a Nikon ML-L7 remote which did the job very well.

The Coolpix P1000 does not use .nef for raw files. It uses .nrw format. I could not use Adobe PS CS6 to read these files. I started saving files in both raw and jpg formats instead of raw exclusively as I do on my Nikon DLSR camera. I had to download Nikon Capture NX-D which came with Nikon Picture Control and Nikon Transfer 2 which I have not tested yet. I Downloaded and installed a Nikon NRW codec. I could not see NRW files in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Bridge CS6 or View NX V2. But I could see them in Capture NX-D, Windows photos, Win Explorer, Win movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Win Photo Viewer.

It pays to purchase a 77 mm clear filter cover because the possibility of scratching the huge lens looms very high.

The Jpg image size is stored in a 12:9 ratio. My other Nikon cameras are sized in a12:8 ratio. Also many functions are accessed by menu rather than buttons common on Nikon DLSR’s.

I have not tested the bird or moon modes on the P1000 yet, but they look promising on paper.

All in all I am very pleased with the Nikon P1000 and look forward to having a lot of fun with it, especially for birding.

From the AO Venture Summit today (live webcast), with panelists from left to right:

* Dan'l Lewin, Corporate VP, Microsoft

* Claudia Fan Munce, Managing Director, IBM Venture Capital Group

* Brian Moriarty, VP, Corporate Affairs, Sun Microsystems

* David Lawee, VP Corporate Development, Google (buys one company/month)

* Jeff Russakow, VP, Global Strategies & Solutions, Symantec

Question: What areas are you scouting out for 2009 corporate acquisitions?

Microsoft: We do not comment on future plans.

IBM: Do your homework on what you can do for a big company.

Sun: Cloud computing. We have been enamored with grid computing for years. There are two opportunities for us. First, it’s a demanding environment for systems. Second, we will launch a cloud service ourselves in the coming months. We are interested in more power sensitive data centers as well.

Google: Many exciting areas. Instead of 90-day product push cycles, a slower market allows for more fully baked products. We are looking at audio, video codecs, SaaS. One million businesses on our cloud. It’s addicting.

Symantec: SaaS, virtualization, cloud-based services based on the consumer, how to repurpose and make existing apps digestible in this new model. Security, malware, keeping good in and bad out. Backup. 6x explosion of data over next three years, and the mix moves from 25% unstructured data to 63%. 75% of corporate IP is in the email inbox. It has become the file system. Greater opportunity there than virtualization. How to backup and store things that are not virtualized? Make it work through the ecosystem. Seachange: cloud and SaaS, proliferation of endpoints, and the endpoint is access point, not the computing center. Challenge for Symantec: how to I protect the data, not the laptop? Many hot trends around that. Archive and backup converge. De-dup, storage and retrieval in the cloud.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seventy three metres at 12:55pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.

Here we see the beautiful, delicate underwings of a Dryadula phaetusa, known as the banded orange heliconian. Dryadula is a monotypic genus of the butterfly family Nymphalidae. It is also known as the banded orange, or orange tiger, is native from Brazil to central Mexico, and in summer can be found rarely as far north as central Florida. Its wingspan ranges from 86 to 89 mm, and it is coloured a bright orange with thick black stripes in males and a duller orange with fuzzier black stripes in females.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres, at 13:51pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off the Mall and Horse Guards Road within the grounds of St James's Park in Central London, one of the Royal parks of London situated in South West London.

Pelicans have existed at St James's Park for over four hundred years, originally a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II in 1664, (and subsequently referred to as 'Ambassadors Pelicans), nowadays six individuals including Louis, Vaclav and Gargi who are all Great White Pelicans (Pelecanus Onocrotalus), also known as Eastern Pelicans, White Pelicans or Rosy Pelicans, reside on Pelican Rock at one end of the lake.

They eat fish from the lake and are also hand fed, and are a much loved attraction. They have the largest wingspan after the Great Albatross of up to three metres, have a body length up to six feet and males can weigh up to 15kgs.

This young robin was only about 8 feet away and it cooperated for many shots. For the past 2 days I have been testing my new Nikon P1000 camera out in my yard and neighborhood. I am very impressed. You have to haul a 3.5 lb camera and a hefty tripod. I used my Manfrotto 3130 tripod with a fluid head that weighs 8 lbs for telephoto shots. The fluid head facilitates video pans, but even it drifted down while shooting at far out lengths such as 3000 mm indicating a need for counter weights such as sand bags or a heavier duty tripod. You also have to use a remote control for shutter depressions and controlling the camera. I purchased a Nikon ML-L7 remote which did the job very well.

The Coolpix P1000 does not use .nef for raw files. It uses .nrw format. I could not use Adobe PS CS6 to read these files. I started saving files in both raw and jpg formats instead of raw exclusively as I do on my Nikon DLSR camera. I had to download Nikon Capture NX-D which came with Nikon Picture Control and Nikon Transfer 2 which I have not tested yet. I Downloaded and installed a Nikon NRW codec. I could not see NRW files in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Bridge CS6 or View NX V2. But I could see them in Capture NX-D, Windows photos, Win Explorer, Win movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Win Photo Viewer.

It pays to purchase a 77 mm clear filter cover because the possibility of scratching the huge lens looms very high.

The Jpg image size is stored in a 12:9 ratio. My other Nikon cameras are sized in a12:8 ratio. Also many functions are accessed by menu rather than buttons common on Nikon DLSR’s.

I have not tested the bird or moon modes on the P1000 yet, but they look promising on paper.

All in all I am very pleased with the Nikon P1000 and look forward to having a lot of fun with it, especially for birding.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres at 19:37pm on Tuesday 16th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road, from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting at 635 Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

I fell in love with Tofino, and the views afforded me from the wooden veranda each morning and evening. I would sit there for hours watching Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles dance across the sky, clouds cover the distant mountains, coffee in hand, Nikon D850 at my side. Pure bliss.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Thirty four metres at 11:43pm on Tuesday 30th May off the West Coast Road 14, on the shoreline of French Beach Provincial Park.

French Beach lies within the traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke First Nations people. Their name comes from the Sook tribe of Straits Salishans, from the SENĆOŦEN language word T'Sou-ke, the name of the species of Stickleback fish that live in the estuary of the river . Their economy was based on hunting, fishing, and gathering, and extended families among the Straits people owned the lands and resources, which could not be sold, only inherited.

Situated on the scenic Strait of Juan de Fuca on the west coast of southern Vancouver Island, French Beach Park is a 55 Hectares site and can be accessed via Highway 14, 20km west of Sooke. It took it's name from pioneer James French who took two years to travel from New Brunswick to Victoria. His home and favourite beach would become French Beach Park in 1974.

In the early portion of the last millennium, the medieval city of Valencia, Spain was ruled for some time by one Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, a renowned military General, legal arbiter and intellectual strategist who would come to be known during his military and monarchical career as El Cid.

El Cid's vivid style of erudition, scholarship and fierceness of warrior intuition all helped to make El Cid one of the primary tools of the Spanish Regent Lord, Alphonso IV, in his continual battles of attrition against the invasion of the Moorish hordes threatening to overthrow his kingdom in the second great millennium.

El Cid would face tribal intrigue at the hands of his fellow Spanish Lords, expulsion from the face of Alphonso IV, life as a ruthless military mercenary warlord, triumphant conqueror who would unite Valencia and it's neighboring communities under his own auspices and finally chief administrator and legal adjudicator over a territory which allowed both Christians and Muslims to live in unfettered harmony amongst one another while working side by side in his kingdom.

In fact, the very term "Cid" is actually derived from the archaic Arabic term "Sayyid" meaning "Lord", a term which seems to be the outright personification of this most astonishing figure in history who became revered amongst his people as "one of them", in spite of his royal lineage.

In fact, El Cid proved resolutely determined to include and carefully consider the opinions and analysis of all of his soldiers and guards, before beginning any military excursion. This approach marked El Cid as both one of the most innovative military strategists to administer with a mindset directed toward co-operation and arguably History's most consistently successful master of warfare, martial subterfuge and trench-front enemy neutralization.

El Cid would enter into the realm of legend (as well as a peaceful reign and final rest) on July 10, 1099 A.D., while becoming Spain's official National Hero all the way until the collapse of Western Civilization as we know it today.

This Collapse will take place within our lifetimes.

After the end of all we now know, the final embers of life will indeed flutter back into some semblance of regularity. However, life will regularly become a struggle for subsistence and survival, as tribes of violent terror-seekers and thrill hungry throng about the desolate byways of the "future", seeking respite from their own petty cutthroat lives at the end of a gun.

However, genetic engineers will rely upon the still-surviving genetic codec of El Cid and his familial bloodline to create a new class of thoughtful leaders to help usher in a great new society, from the crushed shell of that terror fraught ulcer your great-grandchildren will call reality.

Her name will be El Ciderella, and she will wield a reasonably accurate facsimile of the Moorish-hewn sword rendered and smelt with Damascus Steel wielded by El Cid himself, during his lifetime.

El Ciderella will be given explicit instructional coda which will be embedded in the neurological pathways of her DNA, ensuring that she will behave as though her blade is "a shimmering leaf of greatness and potency" which must never leave her side, for fear of losing her very essence. Only the bravest and most well schooled warrior can ever hope to test her in battle while she wrestles with her soul and her lineage...and any man able to best her in a fight will be the man she marries.

In the shock that will be the next millennial sunrise and dawn, only the strong, loving and most determined will see the beginning of Humanity's next epoch, being born and built up for the creating.

I got the syphon coffee brewer out this afternoon to make a cup for me and Pam, and to have a bit of fun :-). I love getting the camping stove out and firing everything up, it's ace. The light was low and shining through the front window as Pam lay patiently waiting on the sofa reading her book. It must have taken an hour even though the clip is just made from 10 minutes worth of shots. It took a while to polish the syphon, set up the camera, the reflector, and the timer. The timer was set to trigger every 1 second and I ended up with about 900 shots trimmed down to 600 and then condensed in to 90 seconds.

Thank you to Daddy Scrabble for the lovely plinky plonky intro to his tune Flying pea v.1 (Daddy_Scrabble) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. It fits perfectly. I just searched for free music to put to the clip and stumbled across his music pretty early on. Thanks for sharing dude.

Most of my photos have a Creative Commons Attribution license by the way (This one is noncommercial to match Daddy Scrabble's). They can be downloaded at full res and I don't resize anything so you should be able to get a good resolution. The CC Atribution license lets you distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon my stuff even commercially as long you credit me for the original creation. Just a link and a heads up will make me smile. I think more people should share and enjoy sharing, stop locking their stuff down. Share it or make money from it, just don't keep it close to your chest and be grumpy. Well, you can if you want but I'd sooner create and spread the love man.

Shots taken with the 40D down low with a 3 stop ND grad trying to tame the window, and a big silver reflector on the left for some fill. I used Avidemux to put all the shots together and put a little fade on the end, for which I duplicated the last frame 30 times. I used audacity to trim the audio and fade that just before the tune starts picking up.

In fact this is almost usual station locomotive. There was the international division of a labor in Communist block. And Czech built ChKD Praha of 3o-3o

(or Co-Co) layout Diesel locomotive has been chosen as standard station/shunting locomotive for Soviet Railroads and for other Communist countries. In Soviet Union it was named ChME-3 (Czech-built, station, with electric transmission). It has recommended itself from the best side and circa 7500 pieces have been built. It was best Czechs' business for all their history. And now ChME-3 are carrying almost all station works in all post-Soviet countries, also being frequentely used in suburban traffic.

But this piece is unique simulteniously being 'named' locomotive. Named locomotives are not rare all over the world. But in this special case term 'named' means that this is a kind of award or moral stimulation. This practice is still kept since 1920 when for some locomotives names of war and revolution heroes have been given. Such 'named' locomotives were credited for best crews for combat heroism and labour achievements - as a sort of award, apart of honor badges, medals, etc. It was considered as a great honor for locomotives. But nobless obligee! And locomotive staff (or 'brigade' as it is called here) had to keep such locomotive in excellent technical state. And also to fulfil combat or labour feats equal to those of a hero to give his name.

Locomotive brigades were usually 'attached' to the one and the same locomotive for years and decades. It became a real second house for a staff. Therefore locomotives were beloved and pampered by crew. Locomotive shining by fresh painting and polished brass details was the subject of pride of a staff - it belongs to railroaders 'Codecs of honor'. At the steam age such cases were often when locomotive staff was unsatisfied by standard paint given by a railroad. And a crew bought some 'special' paint from it's personal funds.

We may see from these shots that nothing changed at this branch despite the change of political system. And 'named' locomotives tradition is kept almost a century.

And this locomotive is named in honor of N.E. Kalinichenko, the full Knight of Soldier fame order, receiving during the WWII the stars of all three degreess. Apropos the Soldier fame is rare award being given only for privates or sergeants and only for combat feats carried in specially hard and dangerous conditions. From 15 millions men and women who served in Red Army during WWII only 2656 became full Knights of this order - including four women.

This award system repeates exectly the Soldier's St Georgian Cross - the highest and most valuable soldier's award of Russian Empire. Both orders - Empire and Soviet were carried on the same insignia band with orange-n-black strips. So called Georgian or Guardian colors. It's well depicted on shields on both sides of locomotive.

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.

For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.

Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.

An old man nearly in his 60'ies or 70'ies is sitting on a bench in a bus station. He wears a black hat, black sunglasses and a black jacket. He is emphasized in a conversation with a smartphone. Seems he has some secret deals or conspiracy intentions.

Hosted by TransLink and South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, the Trans-Expo 2010 is an annual event aimed at bringing transit professionals together across Canada. This year the gathering is held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on November 16, 2010. Nearly 100 exhibitors set up booths at West Exhibit Hall C to showcase their mostly environmental-friendly products.

Quite a good number of newer and yet everyday technologies are also incorporated into the public transit system, many with sustainability features. Diesel-Electric hybrid engine, LED lighting, solar-powered devices, GPS, Wi-Fi, H.264 video codec etc. Many of these technologies are not alien to the average consumer.

So much for the new stuff, but objects that have interesting heritage values are not forgotten either. The Transit Museum Society had an on-site exhibit with a few antique transit buses on display. These are the ones that your parents or grandparents used to ride. In fact, BC has been building interurban buses over 100 years ago. In 1905, the BC Electric Railway shop in New Westminster built Car 1207 for opening of the new Steveston line by way of the Arbutus Corridor connecting Vancouver and Richmond. Many long-time residents among those communities still remember the streetcar line and some have longed for its return.

Well I landed up spending most of my day off in bed. Such a lazy sod I am ;-)

Nah, I seemed to have picked up some bug, (that's what I get for working with members of the public!), and it appears to have gestated enough now to want to escape from my body using whatever exit is possible.

Oh yes, all of them! (I shall leave out the gory details!)

I hate being ill because I still want to get on with things despite my bodies objections and the demands from my wife Teresa to get back into bed. So I quickly sneaked out this afternoon to have a stab at some time lapse with this old Fuji of mine, a minutes walk up the lane, fifteen minutes of shooting and an extremely brisk walk back clenching a certain part of my anatomy which hindered the walk! Made it just in time.........

Anyway, enough of the gross stuff, here was the basic process.

Camera in manual mode, check, white balance not on auto, check, exposure set for sky and ground, check, sturdy tripod, check. So I wrapped a velcro strap around the camera and an old shirt button on the shutter to fire off the camera remembering to turn the LCD off to preserve battery life.

All was going well for a few minutes when a walker appeared with a very large Labrador that couldn't resist seeing what I was up to and bounded over knocking the tripod as it got to me. Damn, no point stopping now this is a test after all. Fuss of the Labrador whilst keeping it away from the camera, quick chat with the walker and I sat back down next to the clicking camera. Wasn't too long before my body launched a nuclear strike and I had to rush home very quickly(!)

Well, now what am I supposed to do with these 1000 odd frames? According to most of the web resources, (and I use that last word loosely!), you simply buy software. I don't think so thank you very much, this is supposed to be a bit of fun after all and I'll decide later if I'd want to be pursuing it further and possibly buy something! Luckily I came across MakeAVI and it does the job, especially for free. But then I had to find out about video codecs and how some people want to charge you for these things too(!) Again a quick scour of the old 'tinternet' came up with the goods with Xvid and away we went. Now I had a massive video file, (100's of Mb's worth!), and slowly loaded it into Virtual Dub and started trying to figure out what I could do. Apparently a lot as it seems, filters for levels, brightness, contrast, (which helped with the cloud/ground poor exposure), smoothing, (for getting rid of the flicker typical of a time lapse), as well as a host of other things. I probably spent more time finding out what all these things were than using them!!

But I got there......sort of. Things still flicker and a check of the still images showed birds of all kind flitting in and out of frame, a kestrel for a moment, a massive dragonfly, butterflies, typically all the things that you try hard to photograph without success and here they are all over the damn place without even trying!

Still, a lot learned and best of all I totally enjoyed it :-)

Things to do include modifying the old Fuji to have a 2.5mm jack to accept an electronic release, (a quick poke around it's insides reveals just enough space between the power and usb socket - nice). I also realised my 'dolly' isn't going to be of much use for wide angled landscape time lapses, (doh!), so I might build a pan head as well. Especially as I have some more stepper motors and a spy of that old video recorder I pulled to bits has a nice big rotary bearing in the form of the VHS tape head :-)

Right, got to dash, natures calls. Again!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Three metres (Sea level) at 19:15pm on Wednesday 17th May 2023 on an unnamed and uninhabited by mankind wilderness, some distance from Dawley Passage Provincial Park and Meares Island in the Alberni-Clayoquot region, just off Tofino, British Columbia in Canada.

I was stationed in a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino and booked a place on a twenty three feet long Zodiac inflatable in full life saving gear with Remote Passages Marine Excursions at 51 Wharf Street in Tofino.

Captain Chris navigated the wilderness waters, and took us here to a remote location where shipwrecks lay rotting on the shoreline.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Thirteen metres at 07:44am on Tuesday 16th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road and Campbell Street, close to the shoreline in Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. It has roughly a two year lifespan.
