AR 2824 patchy animation 24/05/2021

Post by Martin_S »

Today was a windy cloudy day here in Brisbane. I noticed a few hot spots around the AR and thought they might develop into something, I was really fighting the wind and clouds and didn't expect to get a decent animation. The quality is poor but the content is interesting.

Excellent catch! What time range was it exactly?

I took the liberty of running you frames through ImPPG's automatic alignment procedure:

Thank you for cleaning up my image it looks great. I tried running ImPPG's automatic alignment and could not get an alignment, I must be doing something wrong . The capture time was around 40 mins.

Great animation, Martin, I'm trying to shoot stuff for animation right now, but the wind with the clouds is stronger than me.

Filip, please show us how to do alignment in your magic program.

Here is an update on my initial post. Filip , reprocessed my animation and gave me a few tips on getting a better alignment. I cropped the original frames, applied some sharpening and removed 4 bad frames. I then aligned them and added some colour and used GIMP to make an animated Gif file.
Thank you all for your encouragement.
Martin
