Thanks to @polarisdotca for letting me know that Will over at Tested.com used my low poly mexican cactus as the ‘mystery object’ today. It’s one of my favorite models.
A while ago, I picked up the $35 Konstruktor DIY film camera from Lomography. It seemed like a fun project of building your own 35mm film SLR camera. Turns out it was! The camera comes in a box that opens up to reveal two plates of parts (just like old model car kits) and a…
After pining away for one for ages, I finally bought a GoPro HD HERO camera: It’s a tiny little HD camera with an amazing wide angle lens (170 degrees @ 720p!) that comes with a myriad of attachment options. One of the first things I shot with it was the Thrill the World event and…
If you believe this video: and the blog post related to it, it appears that a hardware unlock solution has been discovered. Apparently it requires some complex soldering but they also claim that a software unlock will be forthcoming “in less time than it takes to ship a Turbo SIM”. Exciting stuff if it’s true!
On the weekend after shooting the 12×12 timelapse video, I was talking with Angela who also owns the Nikon P6000. She wanted to know how I shot the timelapse. I figured it would make a good blog post so here you go…keep in mind this is how I do it and there are many other…

Love the time lapse. I especially like the hwy footage and how alive it looks.
That highway doesn’t let up all night….at least the #1 gets quieter at night….it’s always rush hour down here.
Very cool! Do you set the camera to ‘auto’ (in terms of exposure, aperture, etc) for these?
I used aperture priority for this one since I wasn’t going to be around as the sun moved and set. It seemed to work out pretty well.
Yeah, it worked out really well! What frequency did you use for taking the photos? Once a minute? Once every 5 minutes maybe?
The lowest frame rate the camera is capable of is one shot every 30 seconds. I wish it was lower. I then used Quicktime to speed it up when I compiled the stills….I can’t remember if it was 10 or 6 frames per second in the end. In my SXSW wrap up video, I actually used the iMovie speedup control to make the sun set even faster.
