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! ;-)

the following video provides a close-up view of the the development of 5 frog embryos.
11 days in 66 seconds:

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...]
rainfall is very rare in the desert - that’s why many species of desert plant have developed special mechanisms that help them to increase the offspring’s chances of survival.
cheiridopsis sp. (family aizoaceae) is one of these species: it has dry woody fruits that protect the seeds during dry periods.
when it starts to rain - sometimes it takes years from one rainfall to another - time is of the essence: as soon as a drop of rain lands on the capsules, they absorb the water and hydrostatic pressure opens them.
within minutes, seeds are released onto humid ground and find a good base to germinate.
while in south africa last september, i tried it myself: a drop of water sufficed, and the seed capsule was completely open just 10 minutes later.
i’ve also created an animated time-lapse gif that shows the process: [more...]
anton decided to paint one of his bedroom walls, last month.
he had already moved all the furniture away when we had the idea of doing a time-lapse, so we put everything back to normal, set up the camera, and started from the beginning.
i think it was worth it:
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
the video was created using my sony cybershot f828 and the jg-rc2 intervalometer.
sandra (purple) kicked our ass in no time, so we added a very short stop-motion sequence...
a 3-second-interval and 13 fps makes a speedup of about 40x (1 sec. in the video equals 40 seconds real-time).
i’m trying out flash video player 3.5 by jeroen wijering. please let me know if it doesn’t work for you.
in october 2004, i decided to let my hair grow for an entire year.
we all know the horrific outcome of this plan... :-)
i started documenting this "project" from the beginning - here’s a collage of self-portraits:
