This is a great talk on motivation and creativity. The presented results are quite surprising and not what you’d typically expect.

I found this neat video on YouTube this morning.
These are some selected photos that I took yesterday from the Sewanee Cross Overlook. Most are taken with a Nikon D5000. The one with the camera in the picture was taken with my cellphone.[nggallery id=44]
I took this photo tonight. I used the same technique as I did in the previous post. This one is about a 50 minute one. For some reason my SLR powers off after about that long. I will need to find out how to turn that off before making longer ones.

I took these photos last night with my Nikon D5000. I set it to take repeated 30 second exposures. I then overlaid the images using a command line bash script and Image Magick. The first is about 25 minutes worth of photos, the second is about 50 minutes worth.

I started with a the first image as the “../temp.jpg” as listed below. This could be a image from the series or a blank black image of the same size. Then I ran the bash code below to generate the images.
$ ls *.jpg | while read a; do convert ../temp.jpg $a -gravity center -compose lighten -composite -format jpg ../temp.jpg; done;
