HD time lapse – ben’s cottage
My first attempt at a time lapse using a Canon 40D tethered to a laptop. The laptop lost the connection a couple times, and it was accidentally repositioned once. For some reason a few frames seemed to be shifted upward and were underexposed. I corrected the exposure of a few of the originals, but they ended up showing lighter than the adjacent frames in the final render. Next time I’ll use full manual and hopefully they’ll be enough headroom to adjust the exposure after. Or perhaps I can find software that can bracket exposures so I can use the best of all worlds.

Photographing your food without looking like a jerk
Gorgeous blue roast beef and brie sandwich from the Fox and Obin Market in Chicago.
It’s good to know I’m not the only person who’s guilty of this.
First, don’t take multiple shots from multiple angles, kneel on the banquette, or rearrange the table. Jeffrey Porter, cowriter of the blog Drink Eat Love, says he limits himself to “four or five shots.” Besides creating an unnecessary disturbance, your dinner might get cold. At Alinea, one dish, called Hot Potato Cold Potato, has contrasting temperatures. By the time a diner has snapped the dish from every angle, it might as well be called “lukewarm potato.”
