Getting ready to go on a sea cruise, so needed to refresh my skills with the Shotcut video editor I have used during past travels. The result is a peek at what goes on in the backyard after dark as seen by our Blink cameras.
Christmas Tree Photo and Video
Playing around with camera settings. Our tiny tree lights in different colors sequentially, but by using a longer exposure time the image can show all the lights illuminated at the same time. Then added a video to show the lights blinking on and off.
Key Fob Battery Replacement
Replaced the battery. It was time as it is nine years old. Couldn’t believe all the debris that as inside the fob. Which are in the center of the photo.
Mexican Bluewing
Mexican Bluewing butterfly perched on the hinge of the door to my workshop. Video of it flapping its wings below.
Christmas Village Improvements
Decided to add LED strip lights to all the buildings in the Christmas village.
Same image but edited differently. For some reason all the images I post turn out much darker when they are uploaded to the blog. This is the look I wanted but the one on my computer was edited to be lighter in order to have it look like this when uploaded.
