Hey all :D

Still not all that warm here, a balmy 5C (42F) when I headed out this morning to Hamilton, Ontario, aka Hammertown. Then the drizzling rain started.

I got in at 1:30 to dull skies. Imagine my surprise when I went to look out the back door a bit before 4PM and saw some blue skies between the fluffies. Worth a shot or 2000 :lol:

I managed 2 sets of 2000 frames in half an hour. Not the best conditions, it is what it is. I took the best 30 frames from the first run; I was surprised at the quality graph in AS3. And please excuse my crappily drawn arrow...

Hopefully something more comes around soon. I was getting used to all this activity, and the next two days are supposed to be clear as well. I hope so; there's so much I need to try out!

All the best and clear skies,
Mark
