Cadmium Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I ran across these looking for something else. I like them, so here they are again, probably.Enjoy 2019. :) Link to comment
Cadmium Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 OK, here WAS what I was looking for originally... took a while...I actually use the bottom part of this a lot more than the top part, but together they work good for really close up adjustment.Bottom part works good for astro stuff. Frankly, you don't need either of them... ball head does it all basically. :)That, and moving the tripod around, back and forth, side to side now and then... ;) Link to comment

Just swing it around in all orientations. What is under your rail? I don't think I have seen one of those. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Under the rail? Link to comment
dabateman Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You have a camera, which I jokingly said you don't use as its on top.Then a x and y axis rail.Then a thing I haven't seen before.Then a tripod. Link to comment

Cadmium Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 I think it is a daffodil?Does this animated gif work on here for you in your browser? Link to comment
otoien Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Really cool animation! (Using Chrome/Win7). Link to comment
Terry Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Great little GIF there - I would not have guessed daffodil. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Oh good it's working!Happy New Year everyone...Terry, you and I still have to wait a little longer, but all of the East coast and Euro cats on here are already in a different dimension... Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It works on my iPhone in Safari! And happy new year! Link to comment
Terry Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Oh yes, Happy New Year! What am I waiting for? Its 7pm in Auckland on the 1st :)There's one or two smaller islands ahead of us but generally speaking, NZ is the first country to see in the New Year. Link to comment
dabateman Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 That gif is really cool.I am also glad to see the dust in your Uvivf image. Makes me feel better that my house isn't the only dust bowl. I litterly put a flower down and there is dust on it. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Terry, Yeah, I had the date line messed up in my mind, of course you were first. :-) Da, I added the dust, you can get it in small bags from Adorama. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You can get high end dust from Tinkerbell if Adorama’s isn’t good enough, dabateman. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 oh la you guys make me laugh!! Sometimes a few of those fluorescent bits are pollen. But usually just the danged dust. Someone mentioned once that if you run the shower for 30 seconds or so it is useful for settling dust in the bathroom. Soooooo, assuming you have a bathroom large enough (and dark enough) in which to set up a fluorescent photo shoot, you might try that shower trick for reducing dust on flowers (or on whatever). :D :D :D You can also brush dust off flowers with a "charged" soft artist's brush. I have a sensor dust brush which long ago got too messed up for sensors, so I now use that to dust off subjects. Totally cool GIF, Cadmium!I want to make a GIF which is clickable - if there is such a thing. Like, click to the next frame instead of an automated run through the frames. If anyone knows how this could be done, let me know.I once wrote code for my old website (no longer up and running) which enabled a click-through stack. But that required an entire HTML page. So the clickable stack could not be uploaded to a website. Link to comment
Terry Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Its not possible with a GIF Andrea but you could embed something I suppose.I don't allow HTML on my forum because of the security risks it brings but as admin you could allow yourself those privileges. Haven't really given it much thought but I was thinking along a similar line as it would be nice to look at the pic for longer than 300ms haha Be nice if you could add an inline click through photo album within a post.

Cadmium Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Here is how I made the animated gif. I have a program that does it, but it doesn't do the cross-fade,so I used this website instead, and I like the added cross fade.You may have to adjust some settings to get one that is small enough to upload here, given file size limits here,thus the reason my animated gif above looks a little low res, and grainy, an iffy giffy.https://ezgif.com/he...e-gif-slideshow Link to comment
Terry Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If anyone knows how this could be done, let me know. This might be worth a look and its free for non profit organizationshttp://nanogallery.brisbois.fr/ Link to comment
dabateman Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 @Andy and Cadmium,Let me know the next time you need to place a dust order. I will gladly sell you mine. I must have a truck load in my basement. The dryer doesn't help either, with all the lint. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 On facebook, (oh oh, I said a dirty word...) you can't upload animated gifs, but they let you link to them, and if you link to them, then they become clickable on fb,in other words, they will show up and work the same (without clicking) on fb, you don't even know they are a link,but you can click them at any point, which pauses/plays them. kinda nice, but that is some feature fb is adding onto the linked gif.
