I had a apif, efip, uh, epiph, idea today.
It was a little out of reach and I couldn't quite get my head around it. We ended up laughing about the light bulb buzzing on and off over my head. In our conversation, it was making a noise like a fly zapper - ffzzzt, buzzz, zzziittt.
You can make the noises that you think sound best...

Interesting idea - I'd never of thought of using an animated GIF. Love the set up but it should have the 'Do not try this at home' warning ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative. I love Bellingham! I wish I was there...
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it! This is great! Did you photoshop the bulb in? Or do you have a geeky hat thing with a bulb on it? Great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's a real bulb - running on 110. I took one photo with it on and me in the frame, a second shot with the light unplugged, and merged the two with Photoshop elements. I created around 10 layers, most with the light off and some with it on - then used the "make animated gif" feature.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yeah, Bellingham is great - and today the sun came out - it was glorious!
animated gif in PS or on the blog?
ReplyDeleteI used PS to make the gif. But, I've found that it can't be posted on the blog directly as it loses the animation somehow. So, I post the photo somewhere else (my domain) and link to it.
