Later that Friday

I think Burning Up might be a good title for this one.

Manual exposure: f/4 and 1/20 sec.
Interval: 1 exposure every 9 seconds
Total number of images captured: 2,181
Number of images used: 2,039 (((one candle fell over near the beginning)))
Quicktime movie assembled at a rate of 50 FPS (frames per second)

That means 19,629 seconds, or about 5 1/2 hours, were compressed into 40 seconds…

Inspired by this video on Flickr

Here is the same video on Vimeo. Which plays back smoother?

Saturday

Yesterday I learned a new way to tie my shoes, using the Ian Knot. In the afternoon I took photos for this Time-Lapse:

Fade to Grey from Ottmar Liebert on Vimeo.

The color and shadows were all fading to grey as the sun dove behind clouds. The camera choked a couple of times, which created two or three hickups. I like the bits of color. Will try again.

Nice comments yesterday. I especially enjoyed this:

It really doesn’t matter what the numbers are. It’s how clear the sound is and how much room there is in it for you. A place for you to slip in and enjoy the ride.

and this:

I enjoy the three dimensional sense of a higher quality audio file…It’s little like drinking Wine; when we’re exposed to something better it’s not easy to go back to something of a lesser quality……Cheers!

Woke up at 06:30 to snow on the ground and dark grey clouds. It’s been so very dry that all moisture is welcome.

Saturday Ride

Check out this quote that’s over a hundred years old:

I still feel that varable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn’t it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?
We are getting soft…As for me, give me a fixed gear!

–Henri Desgrange, L’Équipe article of 1902

When I picked up my bike at Mellow Velo on Saturday, David had replaced a few parts and the bike rode MUCH better. Could it have been the new 44T chainwheel, the Japanese 1/8″ chain and pedals or this?

I love how silent a fixie runs and how efficiently it transfers power to the wheels. With the new 44T chainwheel I made it up the hill to my Casa Monte Frio.
