I made a small video with the two clips I asked Yami to take while we were coming back from our weekend at Mar de las Pampas. The clips were intended for passingby.net (and you can see them there by looking right!) but just a couple of hours earlier I had the idea it might be nice to put those together with some music and quick sketching about the trip itself. So I looked and found CamStudio and used it while I played with Photoshop and the Wacom. The music is CC licensed and I got it from Magnatune, both songs are by Arthur Yoria from his album Handshake Smiles.

Footage of sunset from my bedroom's balcony.
Taken with the Canon G7 on half the normal bitrate (thanks CHDK) and then converted the framerate on VirtualDub.

I won't entertain you with the technical issues behind this little piece of video, but let's just say it's finally done. All clips taken with my new Canon G7, at different resolutions. I'm a bit ashamed to have used copyrighted music but it was too perfect a fit to let it go, so excuse me José.
What a special wonderful time I had there, and it's mostly thanks to both Amy and Gary for being such great friends, hosts, mates, and tourist guides.

What to look for: translucent water, wrong side driving, wombats and wallabies and peacocks and goannas, funny wii moves, camping, sleepy faces, lots of coins, coins used in blackjack, me in diving suit, 3 laptops, sharks and turtles and fish, a thermos, a funny japanese guide in colorful shirt and glasses, incredible view of australia day from the opera house hall, thai food, crazy octopus, lifeguard championship, welcome mat, happy bodyboard, gorgeous fridge with cheddar, and many beautiful smiles.
