There are 2 reasons for this post:
1. i have made a timelapse again
2. i gave an interview to fotopodcast.de
But first things first: Yesterday (January 12th 2014) my wife called me that i should grab my camera and get out to take some photos because there was a beautiful fog in the river Neckar valley and our little town was above the fog. Unfortunately it took me to long to get home so the fog has risen and the visibility was very bad. So i went to another location that is higher and i positioned my Capische to make a panorama and a timelapse. The Panorama is nothing spectacular because i have forgotten to switch the resolution to 12 MPix and so i have made a panorama from many 1600x1200 pictures in HDR. Result was a crabby 9 MPix picture. As i was waiting for the Capische to finish its Timelapse i saw that the sundown was beautiful but not in that position i was standing right now. So i grabbed the 2 tripods i had with me (one for the Capische and one for a Rollei Bullet 3s HD for documenting) and went to the other spot. That spot was on a muddy hill and half way up i lost traction and my Capische hit the ground. That was the result:
The frontpanel broke off which was good because i the Monitor is fine that way. The whole thing still works and i just have to make a new frontpanel. What can we learn from that? Not quantity counts ( i had 5 cameras with me) but the preperation is essential. If i had stayed ther i would have been able to get a longer timelapse and my trousers would still be clean. Here is the Making of (with a timelapse of the wrong location)
and this is the timelapse:
O.K. and now for something completely different: end of December i gave an interview to Stefan Lietschke of fotopodcast.de. He got interrested in this blog (the German one) because i gave them a short feedback concerning flying cameras and gigapixel. The interview should be posted at the end of January. For all german speeking People: take a look at fotopodcast, they give good tips for hobbyists and pros alike. If you have any comments or questions about this blog feel free to contact me, i will answer all the questions if i can.
