in an attempt to clear out some things that may still be of interest to others, i’ve just put three photography-related articles up on ebay. the sony f828 and, especially, the limited edition jg-rc2 are not that easy to come by these days.
JG-RC2 remote control with intervalometer (for time lapse) for Sony F828
most of the pre-2013 time lapse videos on this site were recorded with the JG-RC2 and either the F717 or F828. my favourite project is the frog spawn close-up time lapse, which follows the early development of 5 frog eggs.

the daintree rainforest observatory features a canopy crane in the midst of the tropical lowland rainforest of cape tribulation. it covers approximately 1 ha of forest area and grants scientists access to over 740 trees of 82 species.
the above picture shows technician danielle, crane driver andrew, and yours truly, suspended in a little crane box above the rainforest canopy.

great company, medium-rare kangaroo and a sense of nature conservation done right ;) – what more could you ask for?

last friday, i turned exactly 9999 days old – a good reason to celebrate! :)
the only thing that makes forest ants even more active and aggressive, is when the sun has really heated the hole anthill up.
these ants did not shy away from anything – not even a lytro lightfield camera. :)
