New Pictures Up!

September 15th, 2009 Alan LaMielle No comments

I’ve added two new picture sets to my gallery.  First is a set of shots from when Rachael and I previewed our future wedding location at the Crystal Rose on lookout mountain.  The other album is a set of pictures from our engagement party this past Saturday.  Check ‘em out if you’re interested.  Cheers!

Time Lapse Test

August 2nd, 2009 Alan LaMielle No comments

In preparation for my upcoming long drive back to Michigan, I created a test time lapse driving around the Fort Collins area.  I plan on doing this for the ~20 hour drive from Fort Collins to my destination in MI.  I captured this with my Canon SD630 and a Gorilla Pod connected to my rear view mirror.  Also, this is ~1 hour and 10 minutes (305 frames total).  I used CHDK (a firmware upgrade for the camera) to do the 10 second running shots.  Specifically, I used the Ultra Invertalometer script.  I used mencoder (the Mplayer encoding tool) to encode the 305 images into the 38 second video using the H.264 codec at 8 frames per second.
