[seaottersoup]

@CheerUp2 I can't find this video on my computer -- must have deleted it to make room for something else -- so it's only available here on YouTube. But you're welcome to download it from here and use it. :)

I thought the same as 5jeanbittersweet did; 'I need computer screen on the ceiling.' I saw angels, dragons, some pink & purple. Very nice indeed seaottersoup. May I ask how you came up with such a fun name? I imagine a bunch of little sea otters lying on their back floating around, cracking open oysters & just having a righteous good old time being playful...that's you!

[seaottersoup]

@Annie7821 Hahah -- I don't remember exactly why, but when I set up my account, I was obsessed with the idea of having "soup" in the name. But nearly every "real" soup was already in use, along with things like papersoup. I was about ready to give up on the soup idea when I checked for sea otter, and found it was available. :)

Simple. Lovely. Contemplative. But the clouds look more violent, roiling, boiling, tearing and colliding in time lapse.

[seaottersoup]

@RockingJamboree Thanks! I keep hoping to record storm clouds rolling in -- those can provide some real violence in time lapse. :)

@5jeanbittersweet Hahah -- It's not hard to do. Just aim the camera at a promising looking patch of sky and walk away for half an hour. Then speed up the footage by 10 or 15 times in the editor to make a 3 or 2 minute video. But it requires tons of room on the hard drive, and a bit of luck with the sky. Once I have the sped-up video, I delete the original footage because I just don't have room to keep it all.

Oh, I love it, Time Lapse, It must be hard to do? ! The music and the clouds,,wish I could play it above me tonight, I need computer screen on the ceiling,;) Thats my home, I miss floating around up there!

@seaottersoup A class with structure guides the student to learn aspects of a subject that they might otherwise overlook. The trick is to find a class that doesn't turn a fun hobby into work. It's possible to learn a lot by working from a book, but it's better for most people to have a chance to interact with others doing similar things. Good luck.

@maniacalmike It's fun trying to figure out light. Probably one of the things a course would help me with though...
