Sundew Eating – Caution huge gif 3 megs!!

elgecko

I've got a magic window!
This is a sequence of shots I put together over 45 minutes. The pictures were taken about every one and a half minutes.
I tried making a movie out of it, but the quality was too low for my liking. It looks better as this gif, but ended up being huge.
Well I hope you liked it and did not mind having to wait to see it.

Not sure how this will work, looks like it may only run through the sequence once. Maybe a refresh will make it loop again?

Coooooooollllllllllllllll
 
Thats pretty cool and again I love your camera.
 
You never cease to amaze me. What great camera work
 
now i you could do that with a ping id be VERY VERY impressed
Very cool mate!
 
Very cool "photo." I saved it to my computer to make it easier to watch several times. Thanks for investing the time and sharing that with us.

xvart.
 
Thanks for the comments.
Glad you find it interesting. I sure did.

In Firefox, which I use, you have to go to tools clear the cache and reload the page for it to animate again.
In Internet Exploder you can hit the refresh at the end of the address bar and it will run through the animation again.
 
Very cool! :)

you should be able to make it repeat automatically..

Adobe Imageready lets you do that..you can choose "repeat once"..
which makes it stop after the animation runs..(which is how yours is set right now)
or repeat a set number of times before it stops..1,2,17, etc..
or set it to "forever"..which will make it repeat..well, forever!

what did you use to make the gif?
If your program doesnt seem to have that option, I could make it repeatable in photoshop for you and send you the new version..

ok..
 
Very impressive. Good job!

scottychaos,

I used Photoshop CS3 to make it. CS3 does not have Imageready anymore. First time I ever made a gif in PS.
I found where you can set it to continuously loop. Did that and place a title frame to it.

I like how the drosera moves the worm (bloodworm?) and centers it first before bringing more tentacles into play and then rolls around it.

Almost as if it had a brain and was thinking..........

Amazing plants.
