Yesterday eve, I sprang forth from the pages of the Art and Science of Digital Compositing, and spied beams of sun setting through the crack above the blankets shielding me from the outside, through the pain of glass. Gripped by sudden aescetic cravings of exterior exposure, I groped for objects of anamnesis both photographic and calligraphic and was on my way. With bicycle in tow, I rode to a mound of dirt, and this is what I saw.

Over the summer since I graduated, it seems like I have been in somewhat of a creative mire, not really working on anything satisfying. Instead I have been taking a lot of pictures, and learning some new techniques, perhaps resulting in another project at some point in the future.
One technique that I’ve been working on quite a bit is Timelapse photography. A little more than a year ago in New Media Studies, I built an intervalometer out of a 555 timer IC and a transistor to do the switching, and a few other resistors and capacitors to control time interval of how fast it triggers the shutter of whatever digital SLR you are using it with (I have a Canon 350d / Rebel XT). I got caught up in other things and never really used it, … until this summer. Following are a couple of the better results. (more after the break)
With this one I decided I would shoot an epic wide-angle timelapse of the light-patterns reflected through the trees on a windy night onto this billboard. Unfortunately, some guy got in my shot.
This sprinkler timelapse was shot a while previous. I used a flash to illuminated the sprinklers and the grass, but of course the sprinklers stopped sprinkling before I wanted them to, so I had to do something to give it an exciting ending… the only thing I had handy was my face.
