Faves for this Web page
Very cool example of a use of the open-source firmware for Canon cameras - this timelapse shows the moon setting at sunrise.
Quoted: With the help of the non-destructive, aftermarket firmware, CHDK, installed on my camera, I set the tripod up, and set the camera to fire off as many frames as it could, until it filled the SD card memory. I did not know where the moon would eventually set, nor did I know if the sun would rise too soon, and thus wash everything out, as I could not reset the shutter speed, nor change any other settings once I set the program in motion. It was pure, once in a 'blue moon' kind of luck. ISO 50, shutter speed 1/60th of a second, +2 EV bias, and other info can be seen in the two stills, from this video, that I uploaded previously. The music is a Creative Commons share from: A genius musician and classical guitarist, www.ottmarliebert.com Le Cafe (Arabian Dance) from the album Winter Rose by Ottmar Liebert This project was made possible with the following tools: CHDK, Canon A620, iPhoto, Quicktime, Garageband, all on a 12" Powerbook G4.
