L_G_D Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · LOL! Watch your backgrounds! I was orignally going to post this in the landscape forum, but realized it probably fits better here. Back in August I was taking some shots of Split Rock Falls in the Adirondacks and was bored with the usual spot that I and everyone else takes pictures from and decided to put in the effort to get across the river and climb down to the ledge between the upper & middle falls to get shots of the upper falls. I was happily snapping away changing shutter speeds and such to get different effects and not looking up from the display on the back of the camera. Once I did look up, I saw a bunch of guys standing there. When I reviewed the shots, I saw that they had arrived just after I set up and were in every frame as they marched in and stripped down to get ready to jump in. I was a bit miffed and packed up and left, almost trashing the shots, but packrat that I am, I saved them and later noticed I could make a funny animation with them. This is a GIF and should display and animate in any web browser, but it had to be down sampled to 256 colors. The uncompressed AVI is over 8MB.

You used a tripod and overall exposure generally is the same, so it should be quite simple. The animation isn't quite my thing, but you did a nice job of it. Cheers.

L_G_D Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · LOL! Watch your backgrounds! I went back the next day and got more shots with no one in them, so these are just there to take up space on the hard drive. I haven't done animations like this since some fractal stuff in the early 90's, it was mostly just to pass some time and see how it turned out.

L_G_D Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · LOL! Watch your backgrounds! Glad everyone liked it. This type of thing can be fun for a laugh. This was a lucky accident, if you plan ahead and do things right, you can make some interesting shots this way. LD Edited on Nov 27, 2007 at 04:20 PM Nov 26, 2007 at 07:34 PM
