Nikon D70 for Sale SOLD!

When I made the decision to purchase the D2X, I assumed that I’d keep my Nikon D70 and use it as a second body. Well, that was before I dropped my wallet into a sewer in France. The other reason I’m selling the D70 is that the results I get from the D2X are somewhat better. ;-)

So, the first 600 bucks gets a near mint D70 body in original packaging and three batteries. You’ll have to supply your own lenses and pay for shipping. (This looks like a cool lens!) If none of my close friends or family wants it, I’ll put it on ebay and sell it for a lot more.

Koln to Dusseldorf at 2,000 Miles an Hour

I finally finished a couple of time-lapse videos from our recent trip to Europe! I think they’re pretty cool. Of course, I was there, so they may not have the same impact on you, but I hope you’ll check them out anyway.

To create these, I zip-tied the camera on a monopod to the railing on the ship and set the camera’s built-in intervalometer to shoot 999 frames – one every three seconds. The videos compress 45 minutes into 40 seconds.

The first video was shot when we left Koln. The ship turns downstream at the beginning, and whizzes past the city and the Koln Cathedral on the left.

The second video was shot as we approached Dusseldorf. At the end of the video, the ship spins around and docks.
