Now let's back up a bit. My wife doesn't do anything digital. She's used the camera a couple of times with my directions. Each time she uses the camera, it's how do I turn this thing on? And what do I press to take a picture?
As I was driving , I couldn't offer her much assistance. She got the camera turned on. Then , "I can only see a picture!" How do I gt it to take a picture. I realized the camera was on playback images so had to tell her to slide the bar to the left to get to take pictures. She couldn't find take pictures.
Finally I realized she was on video. So that's alright just slide the bar a little further left. "Oh now I've got it!" she says. She then took a few photos as we were driving in the car.
Well, two or three photos and that was enough for her.
When I got home and downloaded the photos, I noticed a video. Yes she did press take a photo. So I have a very surprising and poor video. There's the back end of a semi stuck in front of me , but the trees are really zooming along at the side of the road and there's a good view of the dash of the car.
Now I've never loaded a video on my blog. I'm not sure I did the right thing. so feel free to give me some advice.
it's auto-playing so i was able to see it just fine. too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a rotten video but I'm sure you see why I was surprised.
DeleteLooks like you got it there..she did pretty good...I liked the view of the mountains:)
ReplyDeleteYup, it worked! Does your wife know she's been published?
ReplyDeleteWell, it didn't work the way I wanted to work. Shh don't tell her!
DeleteYes its playing fine. Some accidental pictures/videos turn out well.
ReplyDeleteThis one didn't! Trust me!
DeleteI don't know how you loaded this I'd be interested to find out.
ReplyDeleteNormally people upload via an on-line service like Vimeo or YouTube. This looks like a GIFF file.
This is an accidental jpg. So basically I download to youtube and go from there. If I get stuck I can always ask Adrian.
DeleteIt's playing fine for me. Your wife accidently got it going, and actually filmed a video!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a bummer. I just showed it to show you the "Accident."
DeleteYou really surprised me, saw something heavy moving at my sidebar, couldn't believe it was you. From a few pictures to a video is a big step!
ReplyDeleteThe video was a complete accident. Now I have to find out the correct way to put a video on my blog post.
DeleteWahoo!! Micro Manager's first film - Congrats - I could see it fine. Fine view of the beautiful sky, clouds and also mountains - you've got something dangling from your mirror - not bad for first video - yup, its auto-playing alright :)
ReplyDeleteThe dangly thing on the mirror is a ribbon so the micro manager can tell that it's her car and not somebody else's.
DeleteI'm seeing it here in the UK :) My husband does that :)
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to do if you aren't watching things.
DeleteOh I love it a video captures the moment just as it is. Your wife is very clever, I felt like I was there with you two enjoying the ride. No mistake I am sure it was the best thing to do. Oh look at those mountains. Hey how fast were you driving? B
ReplyDeleteI see your point . But to me it's a mess! Speed 100km.
DeleteIt is playing just fine for me Red :) you did it correctly it appears.
ReplyDeleteBut that's not the way I want it. I will learn.
DeleteYes, it's playing all right. In fact, it won't STOP playing. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've got it. so I don't know how to put a video in my post. I'll learn.
DeleteYou dun good, toots! I'm the same with my hubby. It's a struggle to have him take a photo. Our son-in-law has installed a go-pro type camera on his dashboard. That makes things easier!
ReplyDeleteI look at your posts and you're a pro. I will find the proper way to post a video.
DeleteI saw it but wished the play icon was not in the middle.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's just the way it happened. I will now have to learn the proper way to post a video.
DeleteShould you ever want to show us the inside of your car again, at least you know it works :))!
ReplyDeleteYes, looking at the inside of a car is very important!
DeleteI've never taken a video or posted one so this is much better than I could do.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me anybody can do better than that.
DeleteThat is so funny. I never could use a camera either. Then I got a blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that a blog teaches you an awful lot in a hurry. I had nobody to help me so I learned by trial and error.
DeleteMy husband usually doesn't touch my cameras. I don't do a lot of videoing.
ReplyDeleteI had no intention of doing video. I think my wife will be working with the camera a little more.
DeleteI had to tell you. My daughter was visiting, and using my camera, which is similar to the one she inherited from her late father, but she did the same thing! I'm going to post it!
ReplyDeleteYes, post it and then tell me how to properly post a video.
DeleteGiving technical instruction for anything with lots of buttons is risky business. It take iron will and self control while driving. You did good....:)
ReplyDeleteI do't like photos taken from inside a car while you're driving. But who am I to argue?
