I can’t believe I missed these clips when putting together the compilation. Well, okay, I can, since I forgot that I attempted to get some underwater footage of their zoomies with the Ricoh WG-60 waterproof camera, but the pond water was far too murky for that. Anyway, a brief interlude:
Listening to The Girlfriend’s baby talk is still amusing…
… that one of these days I’ll break my streak of bad luck in attempting to capture meteors. That’s how odds work, right?
Anyway, the Geminids meteor shower is peaking over the next few nights, specifically Saturday at about 10 PM EST (or 0300 UTC Sunday morning,) while the moon will be dark, so if you have clear skies, go for it and show me up. According to
Almost an extension of last week’s, which seems like it was a lot longer ago than it was. This was because I got the photos and video clip for last week’s that Monday, only three days after the preceding Find (XLVIII) and four days before it posted, and now these clips came this past Wednesday and Thursday evenings, nine and ten days following. Is that confusing? Let’s just say
About to start this post, I checked to see if I’d used the title “Pathetic” before, and I had, to describe my efforts in recognizing a particular holiday. What I’m referring to now, though, is the overnight “snow'” that we had Monday night/Tuesday morning I don’t care what part of the world you might live in, I doubt you could consider
Just a quick shot from this morning’s frenzy, snapped in the middle of a video clip. There are two things of minor interest within, the reasons I’m posting this. The first is, this was a little before sunrise, or perhaps right at astronomical sunrise (actually, the timestamp is pretty damn close to this mark,) but well before the sun would peek through the trees. However,
Several days back we looked out and suddenly found mallards out there on the pond, after having them all disappear sometime in July I believe. This was noteworthy by itself, to a small degree, but there was an aspect that made us a little excited, in that, some of them might have been ‘ours.’
You see, over the summer we raised a trio of orphaned mallards and, well, no point in repeating
As hinted at in some previous posts, I now have a new instructional video available – my second, I believe. This one has a simple technique to reduce the background or recording hiss from the audio within video clips, and can make your video sound much cleaner and slicker. Even better, it can be accomplished with open-source freeware that’s available for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
Credit for this one goes to The Girlfriend, a discovery made while she was distributing the thrice-daily ration of corn for the various critters that come to partake we now have (at least) two more:
But we’re not letting it go at that, because I have still images too.
When she came to get me, I knew the camera and long lens was still affixed to the tripod in the upstairs bathroom
I’ve been in the middle of two video projects, trying to find the opportunities to finish them, so naturally I add a third. But I got a handful of photos today as well, so here’s what’s been happening here (except for the other things which you’ll see eventually.)
First off, I noticed something slightly odd-looking about a few of the wood ducks (Aix sponsa) this morning,
Is this going to be an ongoing thing? Don’t know yet. And bear in mind, when I say, “Pro,” I’m referring to myself here, who is decidedly not a professional, is not making any kind of scratch with this, and should not be referred to as an authority on anything…
That out of the way, here’s the tip:
If you’re planning on recording audio in your basement studio,
