NYC Snowstorm....

I'm sure a number of people have seen this, whether it be on other blogs or on the news, however i just had to post it here as well. It's amazing how much snow fell in the course of 24 hours in the NY-NJ area. I believe NJ received the most however i may be mistaken. Either way this has just given me snow envy since I'm from the "great white north' and lately, it's just been lacking the white that i require.

Playing around with Time Lapse....

The holiday season is upon us, December has come and the festiveness has taken over me. I've already had help from coworkers in decorating the office, next comes the home. The lights went up last night, but this past weekend was tree weekend.  I've been curious about Time Lapse video using images taken in intervals.  I still have a lot to learn when it comes to technique, but I thought I'd give it a try with my p&s while trimming my Christmas tree.  I used a total of 76 images from the camera and compiled it using iMovie.  I decided to use a simpler program since I wanted to put something together quickly and want to look deeper into other software another time. We'll see what other creations I'm able to do in the future. Hopefully some longer term ones will be in the works
