I just wanted to mention that real progress is being made with the VOP. See the latest commits in the develop branch.
It’ll be merged with Main once I make sure all the features that are in Main has gotten ported to the develop branch. It’s slow but steady… unpayed… work.
Did you survive my move to an updated wordpress getup? No? Well. You wanna hear about something worse? No? Well, joke’s on you then. Because, if you look up in the menu of my website. You can find a link to my first ever public Codeberg Repo. The VOP. It’s a big project. Not sure how I’ll get it done. But it’s there at least. I just figured I’d make it public. I can make it comprehensible later.
So this here is the notes function of indieweb on wordpress, ey?
I do wonder how this will look aorund other parts of the site.

As the preamble tells it. I was reminded that the Perseids were going to be at maximum on the night of aug 12. So I gathered what gear I have and set out to try to record some of those quick light streaks.
And. Yeah. I did not record a single one.
But! instead, I did get to use the same cameras to record the unplanned Aurora Borealis that were going on right above my head.
If you’re wondering why I’m in a lot of these shots. The plan was to shoot the hero timelapse shots on my GH4 as it is better at timelapse-recording than my big BMPCC6KG2 camera. The GH4 can do full long exposures of several seconds. While the BlackMagic Camera can at most be pushed to 1/5 second exposures. So I set it up as I mention in my video on slow-rate recording, with the camera at Off Speed Recording at 5 fps. Shutter at 360 degrees and timelapse to only record every other frame. That way I get the maximum exposure of the camera while keeping a 180 degree effective shutter, with an effective fps of 2.5. So I rigged up a microphone and did claps to then do in camera narration.
But the 2.5 fps footage looked better at full 24 fps as I pivoted to capturing the lightshow instead of the shooting stars that I planned to film. And the ISO25600 setting, while noisy. Was surprisingly usable.
As usual. The noises you hear are produced and edited by yours truly. I still won’t call it music. But it’s something for the soundtrack side of things as I scrapped the whole idea of voice narration.
