Ta-daaa - so this is what it was all about. The time of testing just the basics and learning the very essentials, is over, etudes and finger exercises will rank second place only from now on. I am waiting for the better season to arrive, and this is not exemplary for the long-time movies than I plan for anyhow - but still I consider this to be my first okay-done movie, more or less.

I had two cams on the steering bar, the other cam shot in normal speed and with other colours and contrasts so I have the full tour in normal mode as well, ten times as much material. I had meanwhle done experimental films for testing only, up to two hours long. Technology-wise, regarding external batteries and temperatur in the cameras, it all worked well and reliable. Proof of concept is successful - the only thing that may knock me out, still, is the much higher temperature in summer when the sun hits the cams spot on with full power. Well, I need to wait and see. Spring should be fine. Autumn too. Summer - I may be at risk.

Hope you enjoy the little teaser. The one thing I learned from it is that for bicycle speed, timelaps films, even when fully stablised, with 10x acceleration already are too fast. For bicycles: 2x and 5x, for pedestrians and foot-trekkers: 10x and 15x. Now I know. I plan one or two walking tours, too, in the Hüggel area at Hasbergen, Osnabrück.
