Some time lapse videos from Gibraltar

I've been toying with running scripts on my digital camera, and making time lapse movies from them. I thought it would be a good way to make little videos to go with the music I make.




and a slightly older one...

Are you just taking period frames or are you 'averaging out' the time to give propper motion blur?

The ships in the harbour and the light at night is GREAT!

Most of the time I'm taking a photo every 10 seconds, otherwise every 30 seconds. They're just added together at 30 frames per second. The one night time shot uses 5 second exposures, this seems to work really well so I'll certainly be doing more of those once I have my adapter to add an external battery to the camera.

Different English

I have lived in and traveled to a number of countries, and every day as part of my work I deal with people from countries I have not even been to yet.  We speak English to each other, but it's not the same English, it's different, and some of the differences are huge and can cause some comical misunderstandings.  People are usually not really aware that parts of their local version of English are so unique, until they find this out the hard way. I'm outlining some examples that I have come across: England... Burgers and patties, and burgers. Everyone knows what a hamburger is, or often called simply 'a burger'.  Well, not really.   The Wikipedia description is 'a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bun'   That's all good and well, until you go to where English comes from: England. USA: What do you call that piece of meat inside of your burger? England: A burger. USA: So, you hav

Don't Pirate, Support Alternatives

People just consider the marginal cost of the media when they steal it and don't consider it as theft. But most of the cost is for the licence, you've stolen a piece of data, just like one can steal an idea or steal a name or steal a title. You don't deprive the owner of the item, but you do deprive him of the value of your extra copy. If I steal your idea without your permission and implement it and gain from it, without giving you your cut, then I have deprived you from those gains. What really disgusts me is when people justify piracy this way as their means to acquire material if they don't agree with the price and distribution mechanism. That's the same kind of thinking as that of a thief, a thief doesn't want to pay the price of something so steals it instead. That is bad for everyone. If one is really angry at the movie, music and software production and distribution industry or their prices and media, stop consuming their stuff.
