I stumbled across a fashion show benefiting the Life Foundation this weekend. Their cause is to stop AIDS and the spread of HIV in Hawaii. I snapped more than a few photos of these lovely models. Here’s the Fashion for Life photo set on Flickr.

Manoa Geeks – July 2009

Got there way late this time. Only caught one an a half presentations. Shawn‘s latest project aims to scrape a Myspace page and recompose it into a genuinely usable website. Myspace is more than due for a widespread cleanup, so anything that helps in a good thing in my book. Ironically, the biggest issue was about the ethics of scraping data from someone’s page and republishing it elsewhere. I don’t see why this would be a problem in his application. The page’s owner has a legitimate right to backup their data, even if it is done from outside their publishing system. Google cache is more of a gray area than this app.

HDR and HD timelapse video of Ala Moana fireworks

My favorite pic of the night. I found three frames from the timelapse below that fit just perfectly together to make an HDR photo. The exposure settings of each of the frames are the same but the rocket explosion cast a wide range of illumination over the three exposures. Wide enough to piece together an HDR in Photomatix.

Photobug details of the time lapse: Shot with my Nikon D90 w/ a Nikkor 14-24 mm f/2.8G. ISO 200, f/4, 2 seconds per frame. Scaled the frames down to 1526×1080 and stitched together with Adobe Premiere elements at around 6 frames per second. The flash player below scales down the video to fit in the browser window. I highly recommend downloading the video and watching it in full screen 1080i.
