Last night was the first Twestival in Vancouver, part of a global fundraising project bringing together people on Twitter in support of charity:water. Met a ton of people in real life I follow on Twitter as well as a whole bunch of new people that I’m now following. I shot a pile of photos and…
Last week, I got a couple of lens adapters meant for mobile phones in the mail. Today, while playing with my Zi6, I realized that the lens adapters fit perfectly on the Zi6. There is a little metal ring with sticky tape that the lenses attach to via magnets which fits perfectly on the Zi6…
Just started playing with video in iMovie ’09 at lunch today and thought it might fun to see how it deals with hand held video. Here’s the stabilized version of the fisheye video I shot with my D90 at WordCamp Whistler: and here’s the original: The color differences are just my output settings in iMovie…
This is so cool: New York 2008 from Vicente Sahuc on Vimeo. It was shot with a Casio Exilim EX-F1 camera at 300 frames per second then edited to 24 frames per second. Kind of the opposite of what I’ve been doing with my time lapse videos and it yields stunning results. I really don’t…
Finally back home from Whistler after a great weekend up there for WordCamp Whistler where I met a ton of new people and was able to spend time with many friends. It was nice to get out of Vancouver for a change of scenery and yet have so many familiar faces around. I thought I’d…
During my talk at WordCamp Whistler, I mentioned a number of plugins you can use on your WordPress site. I created a demo site to show how these things work…don’t know how long I’ll leave it up but it’s all in use on my main site here. For pulling in your Flickr photos into your…
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…
