Photo and Pictures

I have been home with my sick son all day. The only thing i find out i needed was Moviemaker for Windows 7 to make an own timelapse. That software won´t work on XP or older OS. You will need an older version of Moviemaker if you use XP or older software.

What i did was i took the aquarel pad that i usually draw on. Making my drawings with the aquarel technique. Next thing i taped a sand paper on to the table and then put the pad next to an picture i would like to draw. The sandpaper is so that the pad won´t move you can also use double-sided tape.

I then put up my tripod and made sure i wasn´t using any image stabilisation. I actually used my old camera Olympus E-3 but any camera will be ok. Don´t have it set on auto whitebalance and set it instead to any steady white balance. Otherwise it will change during the takes.

You then take a picture and paint some. Take a new picture and paint some. After a while you have taken some photos of you creating in time. You then put the images and set for how long the images will be shown and you will make yourselves a little simple timelapse.

Remember that do small changes since the movie will then be smother even though it will take longer to create. If you want to change the white balance of all pictures use Lightroom and make a preset that you use on all the pictures. They will then change for you and all will change the same.

I have made a screencast how to do a vignette on Gimp. You can probably do the same with photoshop if you want. I have used layers to do a vignette to show you how easy it is. I hope you will learn some and how to use gimp. I think you can do the same thing in Elements or Photoshop.

Here is the finished picture…

Nikon are well knows and uses new media for its marketing. To promote their Nikon SLR with video D5000 will let you filming movies. You will be on You Tube in no time. The camera also has a rotating screen with high quality. Just as I predicted the development will continue to merge images and video. It will continue and in future we will probably see a small number of different types of cameras. However, the cameras will be more flexible for different usage areas.

What about the colors in the camera and the pixels of RGB system on your computer screen anyway? A nice explanatory film is never wrong. This knowledge is not necessary to know as a photographer or photo editor, but is a good general knowledge. The analogy with the colored glasses are excellent.

Photowalkpro have several movies on how to do to get good using HDR images. Here’s one that shows you how to set up and camera settings for HDR. It is good if you have a camera that has bracketing in other words that can take multiple images with different exposures. The Nikon D40 does not have bracketing, which can be useful to know. You will find several tutorials on photo that you surely will have use of them.
