I love birdseed

I am addicted to collecting these bird seed pictures. Its day 23 now. I want to make another time lapse film with all the new shots soon. I also want to make some still images out of compilations of the same time everyday. Here are a few of my favorite frames from the past few weeks.

10 days and counting

So I put together the time lapse images I had from the first 10 days.  I didn't do any editing, just put them together to see how they would look.  I'm glad I decided to charge the camera and empty the images, I think I would have been really disappointed to not capture how the bird seed has continued to change.  At this point, I don't know when I will end the project.

While the birdseed project is still going (I've been removing the pictures from the memory card and recharging the battery ever 2-3 days) I started another project as well.

After reading Jennie's comment that had something to do images of people in cloaks, I started doodling on found images of the figure and giving them cloaks.  I really enjoyed it so I picked up the giant March 2012 issue of Vogue ("606 pages of spring looks") and have turned it into my cloak coloring book.  I want to work my way through and turn as many fashion ads into cloak ads as I can.  Here's a sample of what I've done so far.

for the birds

I think enough birds have found my little dish of bird seed and the weather forecast for the next few days look good... so I set up my big-pile-'o-bird-seed-time-lapse experiment.  I set up the camera yesterday to take a photo ever 2 minutes.  I started it at 7am Tuesday morning, stopped it after sunset Tuesday night and started it again before sunrise this morning.  I plan to keep it going until either the memory card fills up, I run out of battery in one of my devices (camera or timer remote) or all the bird seed is gone.  (Considering that it was nearly 10 pounds of bird seed, I'm guessing it will be one of the former.)
