this is one of my first attempts to use hugin in conjunction with autopano-SIFT:

it seems like a good piece of (open-source) software.
i think i’m keeping it.

view of the valley

i wanted to write how today (in the morning) i was reminded of my kakapo experience in new zealand, and (in the evening) of that special hike to lake tagimaucia on taveuni .
i wanted to upload a few impressions from scheffau and the region south of the “wild emperor” (wilder kaiser) mountains.
i wanted to talk about the coolness of time dilatation and its role in (microbat) ultrasound recording.
i wanted to complete this sen… .

by now, i’m too tired for any of this.

update 2008-06-13: imagine little check marks next to the first two sentences. ;-)

greetings from scheffau, austria.
i spent the day in the forests of the region for a work-related project, and found this:

wood-horsetail (equisetum sylvaticum)
wood-horsetail (equisetum sylvaticum; wald-schachtelhalm)

it’s a relatively unspectacular plant, i know, but when i came across a small patch of those in an uphill direction, i saw all the plants laterally, their worls as parallel discs, one hovering above another.

i’m in the process of making another frog spawn time-lapse video.

it looks quite promising so far: i’m getting high-resolution (both pixel- and time-wise) macro footage of 5 eggs.

this photo shows their current state:
