Yesterday I went to the OSU vs UO baseball game. Somehow I managed to get Section A seats just off the 1st base line.
Multiple balls narrowly missed my seat.
The first three innings sealed the fate of the Beavers.
The Ducks coach is a shrimp!
At the end everyone shook hands and went their way.
The final score wasn’t pretty. 7 to 2. Ducks win. I’m sure some people who might look at this will be happy with that outcome though.
After my successful experiment with time-lapse photography the other day and the extended battery pack I built last night, I decided to test out shooting a time-lapse from my office window. Thus, I produced the above time-lapse. Not the most interesting scene in the world but it’s a start. I set my camera to take a photo ever 15 seconds for about 150 frames. Using the Canon RemoteCapture software installed on a Windows XP Virtual Machine, I drove the intervalometer at that faster speed. Next time I think I will reduce the resolution of the images so it doesn’t take up so much space on my hard drive before I process them into a video.
So… what should I do a time-lapse of next? My Roomba frolicking in my apartment? Meal time at the fraternity? Clouds rolling through campus? Traffic outside my apartment? My office-mates working in the lab?
This morning I couldn’t sleep. Instead of tossing and turning in bed waiting for morning to come, I got up and went for a run through campus and out toward the covered bridge.
It’s difficult to see but there were two deer grazing in the grass by the tree line. I could see the steam rising off their backs and vapor coming from each exhaled breath.
The Irish Bend Covered Bridge where I recently had a motorcycle photo shoot.
The sun prepares to make its debut over Corvallis for the day.
Clouds on the horizon made us wait a few minutes longer for first light this morning.
Sunrise over Corvallis. What were you doing when the sun came up today?
Golden dappled light washes across the fields and hills.
The burning nuclear inferno of hydrogen rises into the trees.
The sun rises far enough north in the sky this time of year to provide light to the interior of the covered bridge.
Warmth and light return once more to the valley.
