Test Melt

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.

Lost Marbles Found

Polaroid SX-70 / Polaroid Time-Zero (expired)

The replacement of our crappy single paned windows and the preceding “move everything three feet away” gave way to yesterday’s wee “potter”. I managed to make great headway in beating back the drifts of crap in my office closet, tossing and/or recycling stuff that moved from important to “why in the hell did I think I needed to keep this.” I found this handful of marbles squirreled away in a hideous X-Men tin that was once a most treasure possession. Most are quite old, a gift from my step-father a few lifetimes ago. Do they make thin square vases? I’d like to find some better way to display them against the light.

Three eucalyptus leaves

Earlier in the year Derek trimmed back an aggressive vine in our backyard. I saved a few, weaving them into circles and placing them around a pint glass to dry. Needless to say, they’re dry now. I want to take a few more images and then send the circles to escher.
