Winter 2012/2013 (part 1)

Since 4 new rolls are being processed, I have to catch up on some old stuff. Here it goes - pics take almost a year ago. Justyna and our dogs in Winter Wonderland Myślęcinek (Bydgoszcz).

Load the Canons!

Onion Skin

One thing about photos taken with 3d cameras that annoys me is that when you compile them into a flickering GIF as they come (no cropping or aligning), the main subject of your photo often isn't the center of rotation (let's call it C.O.R.). And as a matter of fact it should be - to keep the viewer's attention on the subject. To achieve this, after isolating each of four photos from the scan, I imported them into Adobe Flash (each into a separate frame on the timeline) and then aligned using Onion Skin option (one of the small buttons in the bottom part of the timeline window) so that the chosen main subject remained in the same place. After cropping and saving as separate JPGs I used GIF Animator (Mac) with 0.1 sec delay to compile an animated GIF. Enjoy the effect!

PS I might write a tutorial on this someday if anyone likes :-)

Wakepark Bydgoszcz

Introducing Bydgoszcz's own cable park - Wakepark Bydgoszcz. Located in the heart of Myślęcinek Park, just opposite the fallow deer paddock. Equipped with Sesitec System 2.0  straight-line cable system WPB is the perfect spot for beginners as well as advanced wakeboarders. Learn more on their website or check out their Facebook fanpage.

And here are a few shots in monochrome:

Myślęcinek park in Bydgoszcz, a lovely place for walking, riding bikes, in-like skating, longboarding, wakeboarding (System 2.0 cable park!) and in winter skiing and snowboarding (SSD Loveboards snowpark and two ski-lifts)... and taking 3D pictures :-)

I have to say I am quite pleased with the results. The only thing that bothers me is that every first frame (most left) is weirdly exposed, causing a flashing effect in the animation. Probably one of the lenses is dirty ;-)
