“I was in California for work last week for work. On the flight home Itook some pictures of clouds that turn out to work together like the twitchy stereo pictures on your blog.”

“I also took some more sets of waves on the beach that end up being morelike a crappy movie. I wasn’t shooting as fast as the camera could goso they could definitely be more fluid with more frames. Of course thisis all a silly way to fake taking movies with a DSLR like
the new Nikon D90 can do.”
