My Project 365 has been started

2009-04-03T10:42:00.006+02:00

Ho deciso anche io do aderire al progetto 365. Che cos'è il Project 365? Postare una foto ogni giorno per un anno (365 giorni). La foto ovviamente postata deve riferirsi al giorno in cui è stata scattata.
Perchè tutto cio?
Scattare una foto al giorno è una grande impresa che alla fine ripagerà...fra 365 giorni potrai guardare indietro e rivivere ogni singolo giorno, bello o brutto che sia (d'altronde è la vita!!) rappresentato da una foto...beh fico no?

FALSE CREEK
by Jim Hejl

This is a view over False Creek in Yaletown (in Vancouver, BC)
Posted on Sunday, April 20th, 2008.

-- VIDEO --

Equipment:
- 5D still camera (it captured 2263 images over 5 hours)
- Images remotely captured with "Remote DSLR Pro" on a WinXP machine
- Cropped, batch adjusted, and batch exported in Aperture
- Combined images with QuickTime PRO
- All post work done in FinalCut Pro 5

If you want to have some fun, "scrub" the video forward and backward (using the timeline), and watch the water level change (and the entire dock move!). Pretty entertaining :)

The technical challenge here is to expose each frame properly, without getting horrible flicker. The daytime shots were shuttered arround 1/250th, while the night shots were often 7 second exposures (or more). This variable exposure is difficult, because any SLIGHT difference between any 2 frames will cause a flicker (and the human brain is very sensitive to flicker). So, the magic trick is to go from 1/250th to 7 second exposures smoothly. If you've done time-lapse over varying illumination conditions, you know what I'm talking about. it isn't an easy problem.

The "Pool of the devil" is a natural basin at the highest point of waterfalls Victoria. Crowds of tourists overcome fear swim on Overhanging

The Victoria Falls, along the Zambezi river, are the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. It extends for over one kilometer and a half to an average height of 128 metres.

2008-04-10T10:25:00.009+02:00

Today, just accessed on Flickr, the first image that I saw was:

Flickr users are not waiting ... was born groups against videos on flickr.
Protests are numerous ... and these groups already counting thousands of subscribers.

We Say NO to Videos on Flickr

NO VIDEO ON FLICKR!!!

On the contrary are emerging groups favourable to video on flickr ... but users for now are very poor!

Videos On Flickr (we say YES)
