Time Lapse
While I was in New York I set up my SLR camera to take an shot every 10 minutes. I returned to find that the set up ran for about 6 days before filling its CF Card. I edited out most of the pure black night photos and put it together in a video. I want to try and catch a freeze or a snow fall. So I will do a few more series.
Next I was thinking ( Read more... ) -
NYC update
I am working hard to finish up early so maybe I could do some site seeing. The only place I was really jazzed about seeing http://www.robotvillage.com/ has closed it's store front in Manhattan. The website is still active, but man I was hoping for some hands on evaluation. Friday I want to go see Battery park and the Trade Center site. ( Read more... ) -
Time Laps Photo
It took me a few tries, but now I know how to set up my SLR Camera for time laps photography. The shortest time interval I can set my camera for is 1 minute. I think the longest is 99 hours in 1 minute increments.

I found my Red Camera today. Three weeks after I ordered an exact replacement from Ebay. Oh well at least I got back all those pictures I took last Summer. -
My grandfather was berried two years ago today.
I went down to the Crownsville Veterans Cemetery today to pay my respects to my mom's parents. I have done this each December since my grandfather's passing and today it was in deed easier then it had been. It was very cold and windy with clear sky's.
It still makes me sad. It's a good kind of sad. It's the “Prick me do I not bleed” reassurence I ( Read more... ) -
I re-handled an AXE
The cycle is complete. Last time the Catline's had a wood cutting party. I fractured the handle of their grandfather's Axe. It was still usable but visibility weakened. Since then it has remained sundered next to its future replacement handle in his wood shop. I asked to barrow the Axe in exchange for mending the handle. It took three days of my ( Read more... ) -
Tis the season list
The holidays are upon us and as usual I am introspective about what to get people as gifts. The last few years has reinforced my belief that stuff is the enemy. I don't want to get stuff for people just to have it be one more pebble on the penguin pile.
Unless someone has made it clear what they seek I am go to give what I want to receive. ( Read more... )
