See what happens when you leave your camera on while you’re at work? Shot out my bedroom window over twelve hours. 842 stills. Yeah, I’m really enjoying my P6000 camera. Only downside is that when doing longer (multi-hour) time lapse shots, it creates separate folders for each time you use the interval setting (this is…
This weekend, my pal Duane packed all his belongings into a UHaul and trucked them all to Chilliwack. I brought my P6000 along to capture everyone help him lug stuff out of his apartment down to the truck: All the best in your new place, Duane! When the boxes were all out of the way,…
As a follow up to yesterday’s post (which I updated with a better version), here’s a time lapse video of the drive home, recorded a little differently than the drive to work: Drive Home from John Biehler on Vimeo. Unlike the drive to work, this video was recorded with the still photo time lapse mode…
Shot with my Nikon P6000 in the 30s interval time lapse movie mode. P6000 attached to my Manfrotto tripod in the front passenger seat. The tripod legs are basically double jointed and can be adjusted perfectly to fit in the seat and remain very solid. I just did the math….3 seconds of video @ 30…
Once again, it’s time to start planning for SXSWi which is coming up pretty fast in just under two months. It’s the annual ‘geek summer camp’ held in Austin, Texas every March. Check out my previous posts about it to see why you might want to go. Now is the time to start doing a…
I picked up this APC 450 battery backup from Costco last night for $36…I don’t recall ever seeing them that cheap. The box suggests up to 28 mins of backup power…the webpage linked has it somewhat lower depending on load. Recently we had a power outage. I have a NAS, wireless router and cable modem…
This morning I had the pleasure of having breakfast with Jeff Pulver and a few dozen other fine folks at Enigma in Vancouver. Considering it was a pretty early start on a Sunday morning, it was a pretty big turnout. Jeff organizes these ‘social media breakfasts’ all over the world. Using tools like Twitter and…
If you’re a frequent visitor to this site, you know I’m somewhat of a big fan of all things Crumpler. They make some of the best bags for carrying all kinds of things like cameras and computers. They came out with a line of luggage a few months ago and I was very curious to…
I’m pretty late to the party because I know a number of people that have had these for a few years now, but after seeing a newer model in action that a friend got for Christmas, I decided to check out the iRobot Roomba 540 vacuuming robot which is apparently a model unique to Costco:…
WordCamp Whistler is coming up later this month (January 24) and tickets are going fast. They are also going to cost more if you wait until after Friday to buy yours so now is the time to get them while they are only $35. I’m going to be giving a talk up there about how…
