since facebook aparrently doesn’t allow animated profile pictures, i figured i’d share this here instead:

a little "project" i did in 2004/2005

it’s the animated gif-version of a little “project” i did in 2004/2005, basically a 12-month time-lapse video with awful temporal resolution.

parce queue poster

my frog spawn time lapse video is on display in the natural history museum of neuchatel in switzerland. it’s part of the temporary exhibition “parce queue”, which is about the animal tails.

anton and i came through neuchatel in mid-july (as part of our bike journey to spain), and seized the opportunity.
the exhibition has a special focus on evolution and features many quotes of charles darwin’s “on the origin of species”.
it’s very interesting, and worth checking out if you get a chance (open until february 2009).

while up on patscherkofel1, two weeks ago, i took the time to make a time-lapse recording of innsbruck, between sunset and darkness.
this time, i used my pentax w60 (night mode), which has an internal timer feature. it took a picture every 15 seconds for 2 hours, which resulted in a speedup of about 200 times in the video.

enjoy! :)

actually, the video shows my mom decorating it, fast forward.

 

the ornament stars you can see in the video are home-crocheted, as are the golden balls.

some of the hedges around our pond looked a little too perfectly cut, so i decided to give them a makeover – added a little twig here, extended a patch there, …
i think it looks much more natural now! ;-)

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:

day 6 is coming to an end, and they should soon hatch from their gelatinous eggs. [more...]
