1:01 – Shooting Plane.

0:58 – UFO. There is a helicopter on one frame. I’ll give you a dollar if you can find it :)

Brad Wray - June 8, 2009 - 12:33 pm

In the first couple frames. I think it’s the 2nd. I saw it once and now I can’t locate it.

Zane Perry - June 8, 2009 - 12:36 pm

Your right. Its before the first sec. I owe you a dollar.

Brad Wray - June 8, 2009 - 1:45 pm

I owe you an appearance in Charleston. So just keep your dollar and I’ll work on getting down there.

This is sick – Next you need to go to the beach and get the Sun rising over the ocean.

Now that is a good idea!

Wow! That’s pretty cool… how long was that period of time?

Zane Perry - June 5, 2009 - 12:11 pm

3128 pictures were taken. I took a picture every 5 seconds so the time lapse is ~260 mins. The movie speed is 30 fps. I chopped off a piece of the end to sync to the music so if you do the math you may notice a gap.

I wanted to do a sunset time lapse but it was rainy yesterday. I just received all my new fish/snails/starfish yesterday so this was an easy alternative :)

Perfect music for this time lapse, Zane. I connected to you through Finley’s blog.

Zane Perry - June 11, 2009 - 7:19 pm

Thx Mom! Finley is growing so quick isn’t she :)

Blog updated again :) – Subscription Update Required!

While helping Melissa Wise Barrick update her photographer blog I decided it was time to change my own blog theme as well. My old theme had too skinny of a format that constrained the photo and video size of what I could post and the side bar was too crowded with widgets. I believe you...

Thanks for the mention! I like your background. I still need to do a lot of work on mine :(

Zane Perry - March 17, 2009 - 8:11 am

Thanks for splitting the theme with me :)

I think your site is looking good. Let me know if you have any questions (I learned a lot setting my blog up).

CNBC vs. Jon Stewart

Over the past 5 days beloved comedian Jon Stewart and the Daily Show staff decided to introduce a level of reality that you rarely see in today’s news. I stayed up late to watch every one and loved it. If you are lacking time jump ahead to the last video. Please post your thoughts about...

I read someone recently describe Jon Stewart as the Edward R. Murrow of our time. Very thought provoking concept and it seems to back what Stewart espouses: that today’s media does a horrible job reporting the news – hence someone like Stewart, a comedian, is somehow the closest thing we have to critical journalism.

I can’t help but agree. I also can’t help but wonder if Jim Cramer is done, a la Stewart’s killing of the CNN show Crossfire after appearing on it and making everyone else look like petty fools. If so, he’s not only Edward R. Murrow, but also a new age Dr. Kevorkian, putting talking heads out of their misery with their prior consent.

One can only hope.

Awesome analysis Jimmy! Jon Stewart is definitely one of the only “journalist” I trust these days. Everyone else seems to have motivating factors other then informing the public.

For anyone who hasn’t seen Jon Stewart own Crossfire (RIP 1982 to 2005) watch it on youtube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmj6JADOZ-8

LOVE the new blog layout! I hope mine is going to be just as good :)
