Feline Help

Cats sometimes take on the role as helper. Knowing how much they disdain a subservient role in life, one must always be suspicious of such offers. In my experience they are usually sarcastic.

Witness these images of the chair shadow I was photographing on Sunday. Was this helpful, or more like a one-cat flash-mob?

Chair Shadow

Another time-lapse movie, continuing my attempts to show shadows moving through the day. I find that there is something fascinating about watching the shadows moving with the sun, something not normally watched carefully, though it is often noticed.

To view the video click on the image below. I find that viewing it at high-resolution in WordPress runs a bit rough and recommend you move over to YouTube and watch if full screen at high-resolution.

Observed Shadow

Observatory Shadow

This is a still from a timelapse series that might not see the light of day as it has so much flickering from passing cloud and diminishing light. The idea was to photograph the shadow crossing the building face during sunset. A nice idea that I might follow up sometime.

Light Teaser

More stills from an upcoming timelapse video and a first test hyper-lapse video, both taken yesterday. It was a fantastic day, like early summer, and I was lucky enough to have it off. Sunny, cloudless skies and a zillion people out walking. And a few working outside, with a lot of pleasure.

In this case the workers are putting the finishing touches on a major make-over for the Ogden Point breakwater, which featured in this blog,  often.

Vase with Tulip

Tulip Vase 1

This tulip is in a slightly neglected corner of our bathroom. The window is in a narrow slot next to the shower enclosure and is ignored most of the time. My spouse has recently taken to putting a vase of flowers in there, which often catches my eye. I liked this exhausted tulip, and the reflection on the shower stall. The bottom picture is a crop of the second one.
