Time Lapse - First Attempt

Nov 302011

I spent several evenings last week trying to make an interval timer for shooting time lapse movies out of a Lego Mindstorms robotics kit. This involved several trips to Maplin and some soldering as well as learning to program in the weird drag and drop enviroment. I’d nearly finished when I came across a cheap interval timer on ebay. Didn’t cost much more than the parts I had bought at Maplin and is loads better. Ho hum… I had fun tinkering.

This is my first attempt with the ebay time. There is a great deal wrong with it but I think I know what to do next.

I have just been introduced to blipfoto.com. A photo journal where you upload an image a day. It has re-kindled my desire to take photos. It will be interesting to see how long it keeps my interest. There appear to be quite a few people who are addicted! I have added a plug-in to the sidebar of this blog. As you can only add an image a day to blipfoto.com there are likely to be some near-misses. Here is one for 27th November.

A friend just introduced me to BuddhistGeek which looks like a wonderful source. I enjoyed listening to this podcast on The Practice of Contemplative Photography – which I would highly recommend. It certainly chimes with how I have felt about my own photography.

Mixed feelings at the ending of the last weekend of the Bangor Mindfulness course. It doesn’t look like I will continue next year for a whole host of reasons that’ll I will no doubt blog about once I have the assignments out of the way.
