Hey Everyone! Long time no post... I know, I know...
For a very long time, I had this notion that it would be rather fun to shoot a little time-lapse video of me doing scrimshaw, but I never could come up with a great way to shoot it. Tripod? No, camera was too far away and in my way. Through an eyepiece? No, that makes it pretty hard to see what I'm doing. Duct tape? Eh, kind of messy.
And then in one of those glorious "ah ha!" moments, the answer was absurdly obvious. All I had to do was wrap the wrist strap around the ring light, like so:
And for your entertainment, here's some scrimshaw, sped up just a wee bit.
Hmm, okay, I can't figure out how to embed the video, but here's a link to the blog: http://blog.katherineplumer.com/2012/02/scrimshaw-video.html
Enjoy!
