    6. Diaan

      Did anyone go? How was it?

    7. Jeff Rikhotso

      Yup, i was there, it was kool, beers and finger food...oh and wine.

      I heard Matt was there....didn't meet him tho.

    8. Diaan

    9. Jeff Rikhotso

  2. My first Cinemagraph

    1. Jeff Rikhotso

      I like this D, for those of us who do not even know how this trick works, its on point.

      Would like to learn this sorta stuff, its a new direction for one who is tired of the same stuff we post on 75.

    2. lebogang nkoane

      Its too quick – I think the movement is supposed to be subtle, but yeah, I've been trying to figure out how and of what to do.

    3. Diaan

      I'm not a big fan of the "it's supposed to be..." school of thought. :P

      For me this one is in any case just a proof of concept, which is why I'm not putting it on my blog. Once I'm a bit better at it I will.

      For those who want to know how, read this: http://www.tested.com/news/how-to-make-your-own-cinemagraphs-a-new-take-on-gifs/2253/

    4. lebogang nkoane

      Diaan true, but, that's what got the "cinemagraph" to be, special, not quite moving pictures, not quite still pictures — somewhere in between.

      If the movement is 'fast', it appears to the 'eye' as an animated gif of a 'moving picture', instead of a still image with moving parts in it.

      But, yeah — lets see what you do with it. As soon as I get free time, i'll dabble in it, one day, one day.

    5. Diaan

      I see we have a cinemagraph purist in the making. ;)

    6. lebogang nkoane

      lol

    7. Diaan

      Anyway... who's going to make one too? Consider this a challenge.

    8. lebogang nkoane

      I will — time allowing;

      *enter new challenger* (what game was that: street fighter?)

    9. Jeff Rikhotso

      Will give it a shot, i like challenges.

    10. Diaan

      A second one: http://dreamfoundry.co.za/file/lighthouse.gif

      The image is a 3-shot HDR of the light house, with some video brought in for the light beams.

    11. Jeff Rikhotso

      I love it man.

    12. Diaan

      ps. That strange shadow on the lighthouse just under the red painted area is from light shining through the balustrade of an adjacent hotel.

    13. lebogang nkoane

      I like the lighthouse one!

      *sips more wine, :-)

    14. Diaan

      Oh, PS, I've updated my blog to have a high-res version of the animation. http://dreamfoundry.co.za/6356

    15. Diaan

      @LN, if we upload animated GIFS to the site will they get nuked to one frame or can the components you use to scale the images cope with the animation?

    16. lebogang nkoane

      I don't know — but I think via notes you can upload .gif's ( to the right of the note writing there is 'library // upload // embed' - upload should work )

      uploading to your graph-space, shouldn't work by design, only jpegs are accepted, i think, last time I checked.

      *ps: who is LK? He sounds gangsta :-)

    17. Diaan

      Ahem. You meant @LN, right? ;)

    18. lebogang nkoane

      LOL!

    19. Mphela

      I see what you mean about the tripod, but #idig...I'v been trying to figure the best way to produce this effect too, and i had a crazy thought, the ones that look good, are the ones where, the movement is directed, like a model standing with hair flowing, similar cars passing on a street corner etc!!!

  3. The Rapture

    1. lebogang nkoane

      LOL!

      I think I have a photograph that will go down (no pun intended) nice with this!

      :-)

    2. Diaan

      Of course if nothing happens you can always stage your own mini-rapture, like this: http://fuckyeahdementia.com/post/5640259961/rapture-day-prank

    3. Diaan

      Another trick would be dry ice and water in shoes.

    4. lebogang nkoane

      lol @ link!

      Zama

      Aren't we supposed to be dead or in Heaven by now? I guess the rapture is running on African time

      I stay in pretoria, so if it is decided that it will be in joburg, may the venue please be within public transport reach.

    11. CraigN

      Sounds like a plan, I'm in. How about somewhere in Midrand, should be relatively central to all.

    12. yizzi25

      awesome!
      how about Friday 27/05/2011 -- how does that sound?
      its after payday,

    13. lebogang nkoane

      27th May — Awesome! (although I am unemployed, so it doesn't really matter).

      So, Yizzi25 where?

    14. noidSyStems

      Ke daar ka short le bermudha ...

    15. yizzi25

      Neighbourhood in Long street ?
      Trench Town in Obz?
      .
      .
      .
      .

      if the 'graphers could suggest more venues , that would be awesome.

    16. Sukum'ukhanye

      For joburg can't it be on a Sunday 29, venue Main Street Life

    17. Mphela

      it sound real dope, but for the dates suggested ill be by the Kruger, so won't make it...but only time will tell so I'm in!!!

    24. Karabo_Ngoatle

    25. lebogang nkoane

      Yeah — a picnic would work perfectly!

      Emmerentia (JHB Botanical Gardens)?

    26. Khumbelo

      i'm cool with Emmerentia!


      ...do i hear Bombay?
      *shhh... not too loud the kids will hear us.
      *giggles

    27. yizzi25

      @ltdn can you formalise with an email or an article? we'll generate the awareness afterwards.

      Cape Town Friday 27 May, Venue : Neighbourhood, Time: 18:30 for 19:00
      Jo'burg Sunday 29 May , Venue: Botanical garden, Time: ?

      Maybe Jeff Rikhotso can create a Web Poster, yeah?

    28. lebogang nkoane

      Yo, can we wait for the congregation to agree — only Khumbelo and I have agreed to Emmerentia Dam; still gotta hear what others have to say.

      *on CT, you gotta set that up. :-)

    29. Diaan
