Playing with super slo-mo again

Because of the way that Sony implemented the super slow motion option on the video camera, it works best with predictable action. If you wanted to record a hummingbird for example, it would require exceptional luck, in my opinion.

The way it works, is you start recording video and when you want the slow motion part, you hit another button. You only get a few seconds, and that’s why I think it works best with predictable action.

Looking Up by Tom Friedman

I finally got a chance to take some photos of “Looking Up”, a stainless steel sculpture along Lake Shore Drive.

Super slo-mo

I just got back from camping. While the photos are uploading (there’s not many), I thought I’d share this super slow-motion video of the campfire. My new Xony cell phone can capture a few seconds of video at 960 frames/sec. It’s not easy to use, so it’s kind of a gimmick. Oh, well, it’s fun when it works.
