A new baby llama was born on the farm last week. It is a girl. No name for it yet. She sure is cute!
New Baby Llama
Photo Rig, Poofy, and a Real Rig
This is the setup I used to take the time-lapse video in my car yesterday. I setup a tripod weighted down with a gallon water jug. It worked pretty well although my old trusty Canon S60 can’t take photos quite fast enough to make a good driving time-lapse.
Surprisingly, no one looked at me funny while I drove up the road to Newberg.
I assert this is the cutest, most adorable kitty in the world. I want to steal Poofy from my parents farm and bring her to Corvallis. She works for her food, too. My parents have an incredibly clean floor from her dust mop abilities.
Coming back to Corvallis last night, I saw this guy driving down the road in an old fixed-up car. He only had one very dim tail light that didn’t seem to be wired to his brakes. No turn signals. No hand signa
Time-Lapses of Driving to Newberg, Llamas, and Chickens
Today I went up to Newberg to train some llamas on the farm. On the way up I took some time-lapse images of the drive. It turned out okay but it would be much better if I could take pictures more frequently than once a minute. My Canon S60 can only do one-per-minute intervals without being driven by a computer. Maybe someday I’ll buy a new dSLR that is more versatile.
On the farm I setup a time-lapse of some llamas grazing.
The chickens were also interesting. My camera doesn’t have the easiest of manual focusing options. Hence why you get to see the gate in focus and the chickens blurry in the background.
