That would be Sun-day of course, right?

So what if I block mine and only expose it every 5th day and leave it up for 5 months? Would that look cool.

Actually, that does sound pretty spiffy. Each pass of the sun would be an individual streak. . .

That would be very good indeed, I think. In retrospect, the month that I had my camera set up it was very often cloudy, so I'm thinking if there were sun everyday, the distinction may not be great enough between the bands. Unless of course you were to block it everyday.

I'll send you a camera and you can do an intermittent (sp?) exposure.

The real question is would that add up to 28 days?

Well I'm not so math challenged that I couldn't set it for 28 exposure at a 5 day interval. 5 might be too much or too little but I suppose it could be easily calculated by knowing the rate of sun movement each day for the time of year and the diameter of the light cast by the sun on the image/paper. Anyone up for figuring that out? I'm sure you wouldn't end up with 28 individual streaks since some of those days would likely be cloudy although less so as we move into spring.

April showers?

This is my second try to post this am. My computer just threw up earlier. It doesn't have a fever though.

Anyway, I was hoping to send the cameras out last Wednesday, but ran out of time before we had to head out of town for a few days. Anyway, we're back and I'll send them to everyone on Monday.

In the meantime, here is a recent three or four day experiment. I realize that the first 28 day exposure was heavily overcast most of the time and the days were shorter.

This is a bit brighter because of the extra exposure from the snow and the longer, brighter days.

The Cellar has been acting weird today.
Did you forget to attach the image?

Nah, I keep getting java exception messages and then my computer goes into a catatonic state until I restart. I'll try again. 4th time. sigh

footfootfoot · 02-06-2005, 04:13 PM

again, no. This time java message: "out of memory"

How does the computer know that about me?

footfootfoot · 02-07-2005, 04:16 PM

I think the bastard worked this time

xoxoxoBruce · 02-07-2005, 09:18 PM

Lots of detail for 4 days.

I know, it surprised me. Your camera should be there any day.

I can't wait to see the results. I sent out six or seven I think.
