  • File under 'fun experimentation.'

    Yesterday, after we got home from the hike, I set up my tripod to get this picture:

    Later that evening, I thought... I really should take that thing down. But I was too exhausted and went to bed and slept like a log.

    A little while ago, a tiny storm moved over the ridge where I live, and since the tripod was set up, here it is, in time lapse. The link is a Quicktime movie that's 700k big. And here it is: Out My Window.

    I kept the aperture and shutter speed constant, and stopped taking pictures when it was too overexposed.

    By this time, the storm is dropping rain on Lake Dorothy, where we were yesterday.

    Update: From first pic to last is about 20 minutes.

  • lovely shot...

  • Dude. How many minutes/hours does that video cover? Quite impressive. Today was the perfect day for such an experiment. It stormed and sunned too many times to count.

    Thanks for sharing. Glad the storm didn't knock over your tripod.

  • have you ever been to burning man or a rainbow gathering.  when i first spotted burning man, i thought it looked amazing, but it's not the type of thing i'd go alone to and it's a bit pricey.  same w/ rainbow gatherings, the few people i've met who have gone have been the most interesting people i've ever met, but i'm not the person to go to those alone and get the full experience i think.

    fishing in alaska would be interesting...the less i think about financial responsibility, the more those options come to mind.  You know all those things about, "The difference between starting a retirement account at 23 and 26 can be a million bucks," and just the general feeling of not being able to fit into the job market later on, that's what's really haunting me.

    where do you live/what do you do by the way?

  • Twenty minutes? That's amazing.

  • That clip was wonderful.

  • Chitty chitty bang bang.  I love a good storm session.
