I've had a quick look at the new set of photos of the Sundew plant flowering.
257 taken so far. I have to check every one to remove the occasional blank photo.
Possibly the flash / shutter sync fails every once in a while.
Also tried a new app for assembling them to make a video at 1080p 25fps HD
This is a crop from one of the new series of photographs:
There might be enough by Friday to make a new time-lapse video.
One problem has been keeping the flowers in frame:
The photos were taken about a week apart and show that the flower stems grow as they unfurl.
This could get complicated. A stepping motor connected to a jack to lower the table would do the job.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: It would be ideal as long as the rate of growth is known.
DeleteJohn, I can probably camera track the footage in Blender. It's a bit like panorama creation years ago. It is a nightmare popping little markers on high contrast bits. You will lose the edges but if you shoot at full frame then there are plenty of pixels to play with.
DeleteAdrian: Another way could be to use Ken Burns cropping.
DeleteVery beautiful. Very complicated!
ReplyDeleteSimon: Thank you. Yes, timelapse taken over several days or weeks can get complicated.
