Waterfront Park Time Lapse Video

Now this is a time-lapse video! Andrew Curtis stitched over 2600 photos he took in the Cinco De Mayo Carnival in Waterfront Park, Portland, Oregon to make this neat video:

Shooting 1 second exposures every 2 seconds
A total of 2683 images in this video, played back at 12fps.
Shot on 2 consecutive nights. First night was the panning tripod. While we were shooting, a guy called me back about an ad on craigslist for his Peleng 8mm fisheye. We went and picked it up at midnight and brought it along the 2nd night, when we did all the still shots.

Rodent of Unusual Size

17-year-old Nicco Phillips was driving to school in Milwaukie, Oregon, when he spotted an animal in the road.

“I was coming down the street and he was just in the middle of the road,” Phillips said. “I just kept driving and I was like, ‘What is that?’ It’s like a big guinea pig, I guess, which kinda bums me out because I was hoping it was like a kangaroo or something.”

The animal was actually a Patagonian cavy, a large rodent native to central and southern Argentina. Link to story. Link to pictures. Via: Neatorama
