I was just a little bummed that my Lumix GF1 didn’t have built in time-lapse or an interval shooting option. A little Google-fu led me to this post — “Time Lapse Photography with the Panasonic Lumix GF1” at Have Camera Will Travel. Timer release cable? Well, hello there beautiful. While the post mentions a different brand, I ponied up $44.99 for RainbowImaging LCD Timer Remote Control for Panasonic DMC-GF1 (and a bunch of other Panasonic camera models).
Like many manuals translated from another language into English, it took awhile to figure out what to do. (“This product can’t be strong vibration, or may lead to product failure.” Huh?) With enough requisite poking, I have mastered the Interval option. I look forward to muddling through “Bulb”, “Delay”, “Long”, and whatever “N” may be.
Meanwhile, our freezer is home to blocks of ice that contain bits and pieces that I’ve been collecting on my walks. I’m not sure why I picked December to think about photographing melting ice. Then again, it’s December and I can place a block of ice outside and it will melt, albeit slowly. (I’m not in Canada anymore.)
I’m going to put that sucker back outside tomorrow and continue the melt.

The Bay area experienced a glorious sunrise this morning. I wasn’t the only person to capture the beauty. Check out this Flickr gallery for more Altocumulus SF.

While I do live in a foggy city (San Francisco), it’s not all that often that I’ve had to drive in anything like what we experience on our way too and from MaxFunCon. The above 90 seconds features our adventure this morning as we left Lake Arrowhead and made our way along highways 173 and 18. No pants crapping was experienced in the making of this video.
