David was processing my pictures and this is what he did with some of them.

Re: Dancing Monkey
Yes, they are annoying aren't they! Shirley shoots so many frames of stuff like this - fire, fire, fire - where I just shot one or two. I guess her technique is right for expressions, I am normally looking for something else in composition or light or whatever, but she is looking for expressions or amusing poses. A700 with 18-250mm used right at the long end, on P. A bit of wandering camera during shooting, rotated as well as moved relative to the subject, and some variety in exposure as well. Frames processed, cropped right down (the monkey was small in the shot), put into Photoshop CS3 layers, layers adjusted for density and then aligned used the background as the reference. Layered files re-cropped so all layers were covering the full frame. Animated sequence assigned using Photoshop's built-in animate function, and saved as an animated 256-level GIF file for each one. Hosted on Photobucket because Shirley tried her pBase account and it really screwed up - pBase did not like this type of image file at all.

I present this as evidence that herons can walk without moving their heads.

The monkeys and heron are great! Gave me a smile. Does this mean a thread to post animal photos has been opened? Or is it only for animal animations?

If you want to open a new thread for animal photos, bakubo, please do so.

Re: Dancing Monkey
Very cute, Shirley! Reminds of me Bingo, Luke's pet monkey in Brazil.

Re: Dancing Monkey
Oh, Thanks, David for both animating them AND explaining how you did it. Time estimation to do that?

Re: Dancing Monkey
Ten minutes, or I would not have messed around doing it! You just create the layers, getting them in the right order is the hardest bit, and do SAVE FOR WEB in Photoshop - that will then give you the animation options for your multilayered document.Dusty wrote:Oh, Thanks, David for both animating them AND explaining how you did it.

I think the whole thing is slightly loopy myself.
