for correctly identifying the ladybird / lady bug.
I wonder how people will get on with this week's mystery photo. This is the first time for many months that I have used stacked photos and had nearly forgotten how to do it. 14 stacked photos processed using CombineZP.
Guess What:
Got Round Tuit
Quite some time ago, while in Heath Robinson mode, I built a little gizmo for animating a 3D object. Yesterday I got round to finishing the project which consists of an Arduino programmable 'computer' driving a stepper motor. The object is turned 1/48th of a turn and a still photo taken, repeated 49 times. The resulting stills were reduced to 1/4 original size as a batch using IrfanView. Those were processed as a video file using PhotoLapse 3 and that video repeated 8 times in Corel Video Studio Pro X4 to make this final video file of a small pine cone:
The setup is shown below.

Great video. Glad you got it sorted.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for a pipe cleaner.
I think it may be flower stamens. Possibly (thinking seasonally) those of a Crocus but I could be way off beam.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the cone video John, very clever. I wouldn't have had a clue how to do that.
I'm stumped this week. Only thing I can think of is the stamen of a flower. Crocus, maybe?
ReplyDeletecrocus pistil. beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteAlso - the pine cone 3D is very cool!
cheers,

Ahhh ... the techno genius at work again.
ReplyDeleteIs it the middle of a crocus?
ReplyDeleteMy guess for your Monday macro is the orange stigmas etc. in the centre of a crocus flower. Loved the twirling pine cone!
