DIY: Create a HDR time-lapsed movie
So far San Francisco based photographer Chad Richard is one of the very few who create time-lapsed HDR movies. He uses the new Nikon D700 that allows to take up to 8fps full frame images and post-processes / blend the frames into HDR images with Photomatix. Out of the about 1000 resulting HDR images he creates a 15-20 second long time-lapsed video with QuickTime…

A Cheatsheet for Firebug
During the current renovation of Duvet-Dayz (the next parts come online after the weekend) we have used one great tool extensively - Firebug.
Like with other debuggers or development tools there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts to remember. But forgive us, when you’re working with many different tools - from Photoshop to Development IDE’s to debuggers, not everyone can remember 150 different keyboard shortcuts and then use the right one at the right place.
So like many others we work with cheat sheets aka help sheets - short summaries of the most important commands on one or two pages that are available for almost all tools we use. When we started using Firebug we search on the Internet but we could not find a cheat sheet for this tool.
There is of course the documentation on the “Firebug web site”, well done but quite a few pages to look through whenever you just need a quick glimpse with a help sheet.
So we created our own Firebug cheat sheet and would like to share it with everybody…

Weekend activity: Create some paper toys
If its raining or its too cold (or too hot) or whichever other reason you have not to go outside here are some unusual paper toys that surely will impress your friends (or kids).
Many of these toys can be made with just a few sheets of paper, scissors and some tape, others like for example the the Paper Rose or Flower paper (see link section below) are more elaborate but should still be mastered by everyone.
The toys we chosen for this article are more like the ones you would create when you sit together with a group of friends or want to show your kids something old Daddy or Mom can do. There are of course many others that use templates to be printed on photo paper, cut with an art knife and then glued together. We provide links for these too…
