Liz and I went up to the Japanese gardens today. It was over 80 degrees up there! Whew!!!<\/p>\n
I finished a new script in uBasic for my Canon A640. This one shoots a number of pictures, moves the focus in a specified increment (shooting a picture at each step), and then shoots another round of pictures at a second (more distant) focus. It allows for focus control while shooting time lapse.<\/p>\n

\n print “Pic”, a+d+s, “of”, q, “Focus”, g; “mm”
\n shoot
\nnext s<\/p>\nend<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I also shot quite a bit with my HV20 so the video below is mostly live action video, not scripted time lapse.<\/p>\n
There are four scripted time lapse shots. The first shot is one of them. Maybe yall can pick out the other three.<\/p>\n
I wrote the little song this afternoon.<\/p>\n
